The Genealogical Research of Virginia (GRIVA) is hosting its annual conference on Saturday, October 20, in Midlothian. Their guest speaker is Maureen Taylor, aka "The Photo Detective." Maureen is the author of the wonderful book The Last Muster: Images of the Revolutionary War Generation. Their web site is http://grivagenealogy.wordpress.com/.
The regular cost of attendance for non-members is $55. However, thanks to our member and GRIVA president Brent Morgan, they have arranged a special rate for ARRT-Richmond members who might wish to hear Maureen Taylor speak about her research. The cost for ARRT members is $20 for the lecture only. Of course, you’re most welcome to pay for and attend the entire day at the regular rate. They would be happy to have you join them.
If you’re interested in this unique opportunity, please send your check for $20, payable to GRIVA, to:

They would appreciate your early preregistration for planning purposes. You should plan to arrive between 9:00 and 9:30, with the program starting at 9:30. Maureen will speak on “The Last Muster: Photographs and Stories from the American Revolution” at 9:45. Any questions can be directed to Brent at brentster1@comcast.net.
