Family Current News (For John)

PLEASE get your current news to John Foster at as soon as possible. With our family growing and changing there is much to share. To ensure your news is included he will need to get it all compiled and written up. Let's help him make it a bit easier.

Family Boards

Since we honored the original Whelchel twelve family members at our 75th gathering perhaps it would be a great idea to display your family boards withthe original member at the top and fill your board with current events in yourfamily. Each family will be responsible for their own boards. So chat with your clan and see what you can come up with.
