March workshop cancelled

As you're all aware, we're dealing with a highly infectious outbreak of the Covid 19 virus in the area.  
SMCGS is cancelling some events on a case by case basis. Other societies are also curtailing meetings for now.

Cancelled so far:

• March 12 SMCGS Workshop with Rachel Kellerman 
• Most meetings of the Santa Clara County Historical & Genealogical Society through May.
• March meeting of the Silicon Valley Computer Genealogy Group
• The California Genealogical Society Library in Oakland will be closed through March.

Please check with the particular society for updates on closures.  I'll send another announcement when I know more about the March general meeting.
