CVGS Member Survey Results - Post 2

....
The Chula Vista Genealogical Society (CVGS) conducted a member survey of genealogy and computer skills and interests during December 2008 and January 2009. The purpose of this survey is to help the Board provide classes that help educate our members and improve their skills, and to sense if the society's programs and groups are meeting the needs of the members.
