One of the things keeping me busy was accepting the positions of managing editor and design\/technical editor for the <em>Illinois State Genealogical Society Quarterly<\/em>.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>I accepted these positions in September and was busy working on my first issue until the end of November.&nbsp; I\u2019m happy to say that the first issue is out and ISGS members should have received their copies late last week or earlier this week.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>This is something I have wanted to do for awhile now, and I am thrilled that ISGS gave me the opportunity to serve in this capacity (although secretly I think they were looking for any excuse to get me back on the board *wink*).<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t have done it alone, though.&nbsp; I have a great staff and they truly made my first issue a delight to work on.&nbsp; Everyone played their part and to that end, we had the issue ready to go a week early, thus allowing everyone to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday. <\/p>\n<p>For anyone who is interested in writing for the <em>Quarterly<\/em>, please <a href=\"http:\/\/ilgensoc.org\/upload\/menu\/ISGS_Quarterly_Submission_Guidelines.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">download a copy of our submission guidelines<\/a>.&nbsp;
