Thank you to Kyla Bayang, Erin Hoover, Dr. Mary Marshall, Diane Burley, David Shaw and many others for joining us for our Live Preview of Speakers’ Corner which is coming up later in the week. Projectkin is free. We always welcome fellow travellers on the path of family history. Learn more Projectkin.org/aboutMany of you will have noticed the slightly different format today, as it was just Barbara and I chatting without our usual guests. For the final Speakers’ Corner for 2025, we will be celebrating the end of the year and this new Projectkin event. Most of our guests will be returning to tell a short family holiday story. There will be two sessions - one at each time zone to make it possible for everyone to attend. Today Barbara and I previewed the Speakers’ Corner event and our guests. We also chatted about storytelling, a topic that we are passionate about. Today’s chat was a celebration of the end of the year. Speakers’ Corner started in August so we have had four events so far. The guests from those events will be coming along to the the Speakers’ Corner session on Zoom on Thursday/ Friday this week. They will tell us a holiday story from their family history. Some of the guests were at the Live today and they gave us teasers of their stories. It made me think that we are in for a fun time.If you’d like to step to the soapbox at the Speakers’ Corner on Thursday/Friday this week join to share your 5 minute story about holiday’s past, do it!
