Presenter and Program Topic:  October is Family History Month!   We're celebrating by looking at creative ways to share bits of family history with relatives and family members.   Barb LaClair will lead a short program showcasing a variety of ideas for capturing memories and sharing family history. We'll follow that up with some time for "show and tell" where audience participants tell us about some of their creative family history projects. Put your creative thinking caps on, and get ready to share your ideas!
