Each month I try to challenge myself to do something new in the area of writing or teaching. When I read that the Family History Expo or conference held each February in St. George was looking for teachers, I thought why not? So I submitted several proposals for classes I could teach, then I didn't hear from them for a whole month. The proposal was due Oct 31, 2008. Well, just recently they emailed me and said... Congratulations! You have been accepted as one of our speakers at the upcoming Family History Expo in St. George, Utah February 27-28, 2009!Unfortunately I don't get paid for this opportunity but I do get a free admission to the conference worth about $65 just for teaching a one hour class on guess what? FAMILY HISTORY BLOGS! So anyone with any fun ideas, please let me know. This is the course description:
