Members of the Ezekial Richardson Chapter attended a State Workshop in Columbus presented by the Ohio Society of Colonial Dames 17th Century. National Heraldry Chair, Maureen McGowan-Singer, presented an informative workshop on heraldry, beginning with an overview and history of heraldry, the application process, shortcuts to applying, and what to expect while researching your family's coat of arms. Each participant was given a CD of the workbook used during the class, with the option of purchasing a hard copy in book form. The afternoon was divided into three sessions for members, including genealogy, leadership qualities and chapter revitalization.
