Calendar and Events
==== Upcoming Events: We are giving a class : Introduction to Family History. This is a 4 week class. New Classes begin on the 1st Thursday in each month and are on each Thursday during the month. In order to register for these classes please contact Judy Mitchell (208)852-2735 or (208) 851-0156. We can only register 10 people for the class for each month. You will need an LDS account to take this class. ==== ==== Staff Training Meetings: Staff Training meetings are on the 1st Tuesday of each month. In place of training meetings in August, we will be having a summer party. In December we will be having our Christmas Party on the 1st Tuesday. ==== ==== NOTICE OF INTEREST: The Preston Citizen has been in the process of closing their store on main street in Preston. They have given the Family History Center 3 boxes of pictures. After looking at some of these pictures we have decided that they are pictures that individuals have given to the Citizen to put into their paper. From the looks of them they date back approximately 20 years. Some have names on them, very few have phone numbers. If you would like to check and see if any of these pictures belong to you please come to the Family History Center and you can go through the boxes. One of our staff organized these pictures into several different containers making it a lot easier to look through them. Some are very nice pictures some just snapshots. We would really like to return these to their rightful owners. ====
