posted June 5, 2009 This year's PSRS workshop
As the current vice-president, it is my pleasure to announce that the 2009 PSRS workshop will be conducted on August 15th at the St. Andrews library in Cola., SC. This years topic and class will be 19th century penmanship and correspondence. We will learn Spencerian penmanship, letter writing, writing implements, inks and papers of the time. Registration will be $15 for PSRS members, $20 for non-members. This fee covers your supply kit for the class which will include ink, paper, period nib and holder and Spencerian penmanship worksheets for future practicing. Workshop will be held from 12:00 noon and I hope to be finished by 4 PM. The library is located at 2916 Broad River Road, Columbia, SC 29210, and located across the street from an antique store. You might can snag a few bargains before the class begins! Please eat lunch before hand as there are several restaurants on that highway.
 
You are more than welcome to bring a friend also. Maybe you know someone who is interested in the hobby, but hasn't joined us yet. This will be a great class for the beginner re-enactor or someone who just appreciates the lost art of handwritten letters.
 
In order to have enough kits please let me know if you are planning to attend.  We welcome your attendance but cannot guarantee a kit if you don't respond. Please contact me via email at angelametts@atlanticbb.net to let me know if you are interested in attending.
 
 Your Honorable Servant and vice-president,
Angela Metts

Hello, I invite you to take a peek at the newly updated 1860s Civilian Society of Georgia web site.  The truly amazing professional photography of Mr. Don Contreras comes to life in freeweb's redesigned photo gallery.  There are also two new dance videos from Fort Hollingsworth this past weekend.  Sincerely,
