Family History Open House - October 19th at Madison Junior High

The Rexburg FamilySearch Center is sponsoring a Family History Celebration—Open House on Saturday, October 19^th, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  We are inviting all individuals and families to come by the Madison Junior High School (one block East of Smith Park) to take part in the activities.  The theme is “A Culture of Remembering.”  Visitors can browse through 100 table displays which show how we can remember our ancestors and could be remembered by our descendants.  We will have an exciting Children’s Activity Area and a motivating Teenager's Activity Area.  Vendors will be set up to show the newest and best products and services in Family History.  There will also be an Ancestors’ Recipe Tasting Table and a Video Room where short movie segments will be shown--miracle stories how hearts were turned to the fathers.  Everyone will have a wonderful experience.
 
We would like help with a few things in preparation for this event:

• Table Display:  We invite individuals or families to volunteer a table display that shows how they have created a “culture of remembering” in their home.  It could be through a heritage of quilts, journals, life histories, a blog spot, picture books, heirlooms, or any other medium that show how they “remember their ancestors or want to be remembered by their descendants.”  If they would like to volunteer a table display, have them contact Rhonda Seamons at 496-4398, or seamonsr@byui.edu.
• Ancestor’s Recipe:  We invite sisters to share an ancestor’s recipe and make a sample of this special food item for our Ancestors’ Recipe Tasting Table.  We would love to share the recipe on our web page and offer a sample of their ancestor’s treat at our both.  If they would like to volunteer a recipe and a sample, have them contact Carol Ladle at 403-7346 and send their recipe to: momladle@gmail.com.
