More Announcements for the Week!
√ The Genealogy Writing Club meets this Tuesday, June 26th, at 10 AM in the Womble Library. Join with them and create your "Living Will." What is a living will? It is the most precious gift you can leave your family. Leave them money? They buy a car. Within one year they have forgotten who paid for the car. But leave them your written history of the lives of their grandparents or that aunt who taught little heathens to read, and you have left them a jewel beyond price. Have you ever said, “I wish I’d asked my uncle about his World War II medal, but I never did,” or “I wish I’d asked my grandmother about her sister who drowned in the lake that summer, but I never did”? They are all dead now so it’s too late to ask. Don’t let that happen with your descendents. Join our St. Michael’s Genealogy Writing Club. Let’s do something interesting this summer. Call Sherry Terrell or Margaret Savage (phone numbers are available from the church office). Leave something truly worthwhile to your kin!
