Exciting News and Happenings!

What a month! I have kind of backed off on working on the picnic and genealogy fair - end-of-year stuff for teaching. I did make it to the Grand River Branch UELAC meeting last Saturday. They will be there with bells on (i.e., 'lots of  visitors and they will have a kiosk set up). I'm really happy the branch and members will be attending. Thank you, all!
I got a phone call this morning from my cousin, Wanda Backus-Kelly. She said my hometown, Port Rowan, was a-buzz with anticipation. The Port Rowan Good News ran a human interest story on the event and she was getting numerous calls. Great news EXCEPT that some were asking how to get a registration form. I tried the link to the left (under Contact Us!) and it works fine from various locations. I'm not sure why people are having difficulty - can someone let me know?
As well, I included my phone number and Wanda's contact information to halp alleviate concerns. Don't worry - you can register the day of the event as well!

Welcome One & All!

I would like to welcome you to one of the virtual media sites for the Founding Families Fair & Picnic. The event will be held at the Backus Heritage Conservation Area, Saturday, July 28th, 2012. If you would like to know more about the event, stay tuned!
For those that think they would be interested in joining us for a day of genealogy discussion and networking, check to make sure your ancestor's name is at the bottom of this blog*.
