What's New?
It's never too early to plan for a special event!
⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔
Although Root Cellar's Spring Seminar is still months away, we are excited to announce that our featured speakers will be from the Ulster Historical Foundation! World-renowned for their genealogical and historical resources regarding Irish and Scots-Irish ancestry, they will be Root Cellar's guests on March 17, 2018. For more details, click on the "Spring Seminar" menu item on the left and check back often for updates. (And, be sure to visit their website at https://www.ancestryireland.com/)

Root Cellar will now conduct
General Member Meetings in July and August!
⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔
To take advantage of Summer daylight hours, Root Cellar's Board of Directors has decided to conduct regular monthly meetings in July and August. Instead, the "dark months" (when no meetings are held) will be moved to December and January when darkness and the weather combine to pose a possible hazard to our Members when attending meetings. For now, this will only be a trial and may be amended in the future. So, plan to attend our scheduled meeting on Thursday, July 13. Hope to see you all there!
2017 Senior Health and Resource Fair
⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔ ⇔
Root Cellar will be participating in the 2017 Senior Health and Resource Fair to be held at the Citrus Heights Community Center located at 6300 Fountain Square Drive from 9AM until 1PM on Thursday, May 18th. The event will include free exhibits, workshops, health screenings and other activities and Root Cellar's Marilyn Ulbricht will be presenting a talk on beginning genealogy at 10:30 AM. Root Cellar will have a booth at the event and we invite all to come out and meet some of our members and learn more about Root Cellar and its contributions to the community.
Root Cellar's library now includes a new, online searchable catalog!
