Sausage Sizzle at Bunnings
The Society is holding a fund raising sausage sizzle at Bunnings on Sunday 14 September. Mark that day in your diary as we will be needing lots of volunteers to help cook and sell the sausages. Contact Lorraine to register your help. Tell your friends about it so they will come and buy our sausages.

Have Your Own Personalised Family History Web Page!
Have you considered creating your own web page about your family history? Our web designer Tim Koch can assist members in developing a
web page attached to the Cairns & District Family History Society's Web site. A link to your page will be placed on the Member's Interests
page.
When your web page gets published your information is found on the internet by other researchers. These people can then
help you to further your research.
For instance, go to Google and search for "William Jones Sarah Newman". The CDFHS website
comes up number one on the results list! This could be you and your research too!
