(Correction to the brochure) The Symposium will be held on the fourth Friday of every month. We are now meeting at the Mark and Emily Turner Memorial Library in Presque Isle so we will be meeting every fourth Friday until June.  

Unlock the secrets of your family’s past in our immersive “Tracing Roots” symposium.  Join fellow enthusiasts once a month, each spanning about three hours on a “drop-in or stay for the entire class” basis. Our expert Ancestry.Com users will guide you through archival records, DNA analysis, and historical context using the latest version of Ancestry.com provided by the university library.  Individually, dive deep into your family tree, unearthing stories, connections, and hidden branches.  Whether you are a beginner or seasoned researcher, this symposium promises to enrich your understanding of heritage and identity.

Nov 19 – Death of a Duchess by Nellie H. Steele. Lenora, a lonely orphan with a mysterious gift, has resigned herself to a life of solitude.

As the residents of Miracle Springs, North Carolina, select their costumes, plan parties, and get excited for a night of tricks or treats, Nora joins in on the festivities by hosting medium memoirist Lara Luz at the bookstore. Charismatic and compelling, Lara mesmerizes the audience with her life story. Struck by a bolt of lightning as a child, she was pronounced dead only to be resurrected with the ability to connect with those on the other side.

Jan 21 – At Midnight Comes the Cry by Julia Spencer Fleming. It’s Christmas time in Millers Kill, and Reverend Clare Fergusson and her husband Russ van Alstyne - newly resigned from his position as chief of police – plan to enjoy it with their baby boy.

But when a beloved holiday parade is crashed by white supremacists, Clare and Russ find themselves sucked into a parallel world of militias, machinations, and murder.

Turning everyday items (old, new, broken, vintage, scraps) into upcycled crafts, gifts, art, wooden signs, and do-it-yourself projects. We will provide kits and goody boxes you can also dig through, jewelry pins, fabric, ribbon, glass items such as bottles, candle holders, picture frames, stickers, beads, paper, et cetera. We encourage others to put on their thinking caps for completed items, one or many. At the end of this project, we are hoping everyone has something to take home for their own keepsakes or a gifting project for either Halloween or Christmas. You can be as masculine or feminine as you would like with your project as this is for men and women, so keep that in mind if you bring in any of your own items to work with. We will be bringing glue guns but also other items for those who are not familiar with the hot glue process. Any actual sewing will be at your own discretion and at home, but prepared scraps are fine to bring in. Lynn will also bring starter scraps. No hazardous chemicals. Thank you for helping to clean up your materials at the end of each session. Instructor: Lynn Craig – Polymer clay, resin, and stained-glass artist with strong background in mixed media and upcycling.
