Gentle Reminder!

This is just a last note to remind all to please send your annual dues. Our newsletter and research depend on you. Family Biographies will be finished and sent to all current dues payers by years end. These are special personal sketches prepared by our Foundation historian, Mark McConkie. If you aren’t certain when you last paid the $10.00, please call the office of Spence Nilson at 801-484-8856. Please use the enclosed envelope and card. If you know of living Smiths descendants that don’t receive the newsletter please send their addresses by copying the card and sending them to the return address on the newsletter or emailing to c.frogley@m.cc.utah.edu.

Thank you

Picture Perfect

As can be seen by the insert, another picture of some members of the Smith Family have again been offered to our family organization at a discount for members and as a small fund raiser for research projects. We will not handle any of the orders or moneys. David Lindley, the artist and student of D.J. Bawdin’s forensic findings will handle your orders directly, donating a percentage to the Foundation. Instructions and order-form are enclosed with this newsletter.

Smith Family Values Quote Book

It isn’t enough to teach the children. You must teach the children to teach the children. Imparting life and family values inter-generationally is a constant challenge for parents and grandparents. As an umbrella organization The Foundation works to facilitate this process. We would like to publish a Smith Family Quote book on their life and family values that could then be used by parents and grandparents to communicate the values of the early Smiths. Please send, by either US mail to the return address on this newsletter or email at: c.frogley@m.cc.utah.edu, any Smith family documented quotes (sound bites) that communicate both practical and eternal values.
