SARA has no paid staff. Member volunteers perform all work. Our membership year begins on September 1 and ends August 31. Our annual meeting and elections are held in June.
Most meetings are free to members.
Members are also invited to participate in other special events held throughout the year. Events and meetings are announced in our newsletter and on our web site. We have also started a data base of names and locations of our member's ancestors to help members locate other individuals researching in the same areas. All members are encouraged to add their information to the data base which is updated and published once per year. Members are also invited to submit research queries to be published in the journal.
