Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Send the society a message through the Become a Member page with your full name, email and phone number, and ask how to join..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
The site does not describe a visit. Members are promised help with family research, hard to find information on Djola history, and invitations to workshops, tours and events.
Tips for your first visit
- The site gives no street address, only a city and ZIP code, so ask where any gathering takes place before you go.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Joining means paying dues and then being given a password after you message the society, and the site does not say whether non-members can visit or attend events..
