Want to increase attendance at your FH Centre? We are grateful to those who share their initiatives aimed at increasing attendance at a FH Centre. We were grateful to the Edmonton Riverbend Family History Centre who shared the following:
Riverbend Stake Family History Centre
Ward-Assist Initiatives
1. Family History Classes
Thursday evenings, 23 Sep. to 25 Nov., from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Family History Centre.
Focus will be on Internet research, especially those sites free on FHC computers.
Each High Priests group leader, with the help of ward family history consultants, will designate/accept registration from two members of his ward (not family history consultants) for each class and notify Sis. ________by the Tuesday before classes, giving names and phone numbers/email addresses. Sis. ___________will contact registrants to confirm. Ward family history consultants are welcome to attend also if they wish
2. Ward Leadership FHC Visit
Each High Priests group leader will book an evening visit to the Family History Centre, either a Tuesday or a Wednesday, between September 21 and November 15, for information/training (book by Sep 30):
- Bring at least one representative from each quorum and auxiliary leadership in the ward with him,
- To learn about the recent important changes the Church has introduced to family history,
- To learn how the Family History Centre can be of help with these changes.
Book with Sis. _________________
3. Indexing at the Family History Centre
Each High Priests group leader will arrange for one YM/YW class from his ward per quarter (every three months) to come to the Family History Centre, on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evening, to do service in Indexing. That means each class will get to come once every year and a half. Booking will be ongoing. Training will be provided by consultants at the Centre. The new wireless system facilitates personal laptops.

That would be great IF we had any FREE stuff installed at the FHC in Olds.!
Well they are available for Olds – go see your FHC Director
At the last staff meeting at the St. Anthony Idaho FHC, we outlined in a power point presentation several ways in which we could increase FH work at the FHC. Included are many active links to various FH requirements for several of the auxiliaries.
If you are interested in getting a free copy of the power point just send an email to:
