Heart of Texas Genealogy Society will meet on December 5, 2019 at the Wimberley Village Library. Our presentation is “Secret Santa Yourself - Give yourself a present by discovering a new Ancestor”. We will be investigating several little known or rarely used resources that can produce exciting results in your search for that elusive ancestor. Our presentation starts at 1:30 pm. During the brown bag round table from 12 noon to 1:30 pm, there will be discussion time for brick wall problems, best practice discussions, or any other member needs and questions, then “new business” announcements. Our HOTGS meetings continue to meet at the Wimberley Village Library on the first Thursday of each month from 12 pm to 4 pm. We have the Library reserved until 4:30 so will have time after the presentation for more discussion if desired.

Second Saturday Gallery Trail
Every month, around a dozen local galleries stay open late and welcome people to come early, stay late for wine and enjoy the light bites and an art-filled evening. Most galleries on the trail can be reached on foot around the Wimberley Square, but there are a few that you will want to get back in your car to visit.
