PGS classes and interest groups held at the Largo Public Library have been cancelled until further notice.
We have taken this precaution with the well-being of our members, patrons, and friends in mind.
HOWEVER, WE ARE OFFERING SOME EVENTS SUCH AS SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS AND MONTHLY PROGRAMS AS LIVE "MEETINGS."
This is a rapidly changing situation and we are learning as we go, so be patient. We will reach out to you using our website, this Blog, and our weekly emails to give you information on the events we are offering and the venues we will use.
Our goal is to reach out to our members and friends to provide some useful information, research assistance, and perhaps even some fun during this period of uncertainty and stress.

Who Were the Passengers of the Mayflower? –
We’ve all heard the story of the Mayflower and the founding of
Plymouth Colony in 1620 but who were these intrepid souls, what did they
believe, why did they come to New England, and who left descendants? This
presentation explores these topics and provides information on resources
available for learning more about the Pilgrims.

survived to help found a new nation!
