It has been a couple weeks since I had the opportunity to post. I have been documenting all of my survivor encounters and hope to have them all posted next week after the holiday break!
I am getting very excited as the project I am helping to plan is swiftly approaching. December 4th we are hosting an event honoring an authors documented friendship during Japanese-American internment. Scrapbooking Family Memories will give children and adults an opportunity to hear the authors story as well as participate in creating a scrapbook of their own memories.
Beverly Patt was a young girl when her best friend and her family were taken from their homes and placed in an internment camp after the bombing of pearl harbor. She saved notes, pictures, and scraps of memories from their friendship and as an adult turned it into a scrapbook that tells her story. It is a great way to remember the wonderful friendship they shared through the eyes of an innocent child.
Amanda Friedeman, the museums Miller Family Youth Exhibit Educator, and I have been making plans and putting together last minute details to make this event both fun and educational for all ages. Getting children informed and involved at a young age is what the museums youth center is all about. Pictures and Details to come following the event!!
Happy Turkey Day All!
