Family History is for All Ages!
We are excited to announce our annual Summer Youth Program will be starting on June 13th! We have a new format this year. Each youth is encouraged to set a personal goal for themselves for the summer in relation to family history. We will have lessons for 30 minutes at the beginning of each week, followed by a group activity relating to family history. Then an hour of food and fun with friends. The last hour will be dedicated to helping youth fulfill their own personal goals. Come see what we have to offer. Youth groups are welcome to attend.
Involving younger children
Here are some great activities to try at home with your family. Some are from the Friend Magazine, but the concepts apply to all ages. Set a family history goal this summer of yourself!

New Summer Class - Conversational Spanish for Beginners
This class will start on June 6th and run for 12 weeks on Thursdays from 5:00 to 6:30 pm. It will be taught by Cameron. Here's what he posted to Facebook: "Whether you'd like to learn Spanish to better converse with friends and family or you'd like to improve your indexing and family history skills in another language, this class would be perfect for you! Taught by Cameron Briggs in the comprehensible input method. All ages welcome. 12-week bootcamp will be basic but intense to get you on your way to speak Spanish by the end of summer. Classes will be held from 5:00-6:30pm. For extra practice, there's a fun opportunity afterward to volunteer and teach English as a second language from 6:30-8:00 pm at the Community Council building. We’ll mostly be using free resources available online. One of them is Dreaming Spanish. We will be using Google Classroom to keep track of homework, worksheets, videos and communicate. So even if you can’t make it in person some weeks, you’d still be able to keep up."
Be sure to check the calendar for all classes!
