Genealogy Room 125

Join Laman Adults for an 8-week series about creating a more colorful life! Week 8: Being a keeper of your own history with our archivist, Jamie!

Do you ever feel stuck in the mundanities of life? It's not always possible or realistic to make big changes, but the little things can add up! Join Susannah and community guests to explore all the ways you can add a little more color to your life-- easy ways to eat more fruit and veggies, find your personal style (without buying a bunch of stuff!), make your home a happier place, and more. Summer may not be all vacation anymore once you're an adult, but it can still be a time to pursue joy and make small changes that can make you just 1% happier!

This week is Color Your History: Jamie, our archivist, will teach participants about ways to preserve your personal history so you don't lose those precious family tapes or photos from your old phone! You can become an archivist of your own history by starting with small, simple steps!

Please note-- this week's program will be held in our Genealogy Room, not in The Studio!

This class is mainly directed at adults, but interested teens are welcome to attend!
