Family Legacy Workshop
Explore the idea of the legacy that has passed down from your ancestors to you as well as the heirlooms you will be passing on to future generations.
This interactive, multimedia workshop consists of writing exercises, story-telling, video presentations and theatre games, all designed to help you tell
your story and that of your family. Sign up with a family member for added fun! Participants need not have prior writing or storytelling experience.

Organize your Family Archives/Digital Scrapbooking
Learn how to put digital advances to work for you in this digital scrapbooking workshop. You will use free software and internet sites to organize, label and save important family archives and treasures such as photographs, documents, stories and home movies. Weekly assignments will help you preserve your family's stories and memories so that future generations will know where they come from and have easy access to their rich heritage. Each week you
will do some work outside of class and bring in your photos and other family archives. When we finish you will have archived at least one part of your
personal or family story. Students must have familiarity with Windows/PC basics. Minimum of 6.
