Family History Conference

One of the largest gatherings of family history experts in the world will take place in Salt Lake City during the last week of this month. The 13th Annual Conference on Computerized Genealogy and Family History, traditionally held at Brigham Young University in Provo in March, will take place at the Salt Palace on April 26 and 27, immediately followed by the four-day Annual Conference (April 28-May 1) of the National Genealogical Society, also at the Salt Palace. The conferences are designed to be how-to guides for beginning, intermediate and advanced researchers.

This is an exceptional opportunity for those with an interest in family history, an interest that already is booming due to the NBC TV show, "Who Do You Think You Are?" The two-day conference includes more than 50 classes to help participants learn about advances in computer programs, research techniques, more information can be found at http://familyhistoryconferences.byu.edu.

Temple Trips

Sister Laurie Williams would like a temple buddy to drive with her to various temples around the state. Due to sleep disorder, Sister Williams cannot drive long distances. She has the next two weeks off and would like to visit the Logan Temple and Ogden Temple (it closes at the end of the year for refurbishing). A trip to the Mount Timpanagos Temple could also have a side trip to Thanksgiving Point for the Tulip Festival. In the future she would also like to visit the Monticello Temple in southeast Utah. This would require a hotel stay, and there are some nice national parks to visit on the way there and back!

If there are any sisters interested in doing day trips please contact Sister Williams at luleeanna@yahoo.com or give her a call at (501) 355-3257.

Ward Activities

Dear Sisters,

Before the end of the month 280 quilts need to be finished to contribute to our Stake's Days of 47 Parade float. Once the parade is over, these blankets will be donated to various hospitals, assisted living facilities, charities, etc. in our community and others.

To help with this we will have a WARD QUILTING PARTY. Please join us for the fun! We will need all of your helping hands: young, old, experienced, novice, male, female...everyone!

Friday April 16th from 6- 9:30pm.
Saturday the 17th from noon to whenever we finish.

Bring your favorite snacks and soft drink for a snack food and drink potluck. On Saturday evening we will have a movie too. People can come and go as they please or have time.

***If you own a rotary cutter, cutting mat, or sewing scissors please bring them with you.***

Looking forward to see you there!
