PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE TABLE OF CONTENTS

The month of May was busy with the Annual Headquarters Clean-up held on Saturday morning, May 5th. Thank you to those who participated in this much needed service project. The National Historical Symposium was held in Salt Lake at the Canyon Rim Stake Center on Saturday, May 12th. We experienced a wonderful afternoon and evening being enlightened on the early struggles of the Church in Utah and the West. The seasoned presenters included Jerry Houck speaking on Succession of Church Leadership from the Prophet Joseph forward; R. Devan Jensen and Kenneth Alford on the Utah War. They shared insights into President James Buchanan, Brigham Young, and Johnston’s army and their effect on the early church; Catherine Blake, an assistant to William G. Hartley gave his presentation on the challenges in the development of transportation in Utah and the west. Catherine also paid a tribute to the late William G. Hartley who had recently passed away. Alma Allred spoke about the political challenge and threat to the early church explaining the early direction taken by the church in response. The day was capped off with dinner and keynote speakers President Jack Wixom of the Salt Lake Temple and Temple Matron Sister Rosemary Wixom. Their testimonies of a lifetime of Church service and their pioneer ancestry were inspirational.

Thank you to Tony Tidwell, National President Elect for planning and coordinating a marvelous day and for all those who participated. We met with a representative of the Church Family History Library. There is an opportunity of the SUP Library becoming a Family Search “Affiliate Library and/or Discovery Center”. This would greatly expand the use of our library facilities and give computer access to the same websites available at the Family History Library. Stay tuned for further developments. A new SUP Chapter has been organized. “The Boulder Dam Chapter” with members from Boulder City and Las Vegas met in May. Their enthusiasm and spirit were felt as David Hinton, Southern Utah Area Vice President gave the Oath of Office to several chapter board officers. Clare Tobler will serve as the First Chapter President.
