Genealogy Library Key

Posted on 14 Sep, 2021 by Holly Gibson

The Welcome Center is being rekeyed today. In order to get into the Genealogy Library monitors will need to get the physical key from the Reception Desk. Please remember to return the key or the club will be charged for a replacement. I will let you know when the punch system is working again. Thanks for your help.
