Salt Lake Christmas Tour…………. Week’s Peek

One of our tour family, Maureen MacDonald, lives across Washington state from me and so we manage to rendezvous every now and then.  She drove east from Whidbey Island (picking up Sharon Fowler, another member of our tour family) to come stay with me and attend our FamilySearch Symposium on Saturday, 28 April last. We had a great learning day at the Symposium, but we had “girls’ fun” on the evening before eating ice cream out of Dixie cups and watching WDYTYA.  The next evening we sat around my dining room table and made elastic-stretchy bead bracelets. My goal is to have 100 made to bring to the Tour to give to each of you. The creativity was flowing!

Chatting with Maureen, she told me that Leland has asked her to do four presentations at the 2012 Christmas tour and she’s working already to plan these sessions for you. We talked and we decided that a “Starting Fresh Or Starting Over” theme would be of benefit to our tour family.  Maureen has some new and innovating ways to present the solid concepts of beginning genealogy. Another plus for coming on the tour this year!

And did you realize that we will not only have Thomas MacEntee again but Leland has signed on Lisa Alzo to be a teacher and presenter to us. Lisa specializes and Eastern European subjects as well as technology. A second big plus for coming to Salt Lake with the group!

I’m going to be at NGS in Cincinnati next week………… hope to see a good many of you all!

Donna, aka Mother Hen, until next week.
