Learn how to document your family’s history at our Feb. 15 annual membership meeting

The El Cerrito Historical Society will hold its annual membership meeting at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15 in the Garden Room of the EC Community Center. Our program will feature a conversation with Linda Hamilton, who helps people tell their family histories through her Oakland company Stories to Last. (http://storiestolast.com/)

A former teacher, Hamilton describes herself as an author, storyteller and publisher. Her advice to anyone considering documenting their family history? Don’t wait. She will talk about overcoming hesitations, getting relatives to open up and how to get it all down for future generations. The meeting will begin with a short business meeting, including election of board members for the coming year. Light refreshments will be served.

The free event is open to the public; 3 PM Sunday, Feb. 15, El Cerrito Community Center Garden Room, 7007 Moeser Lane.
