Tuesday, May 23, 2006 Mailing to Strong Relatives Momma (June Brown) and I are putting the finishing touches on the mailing that is going out to the local Strong families and their descendants to promote the upcoming Strong Reunion in Auburn, Indiana. We are getting excited as the date draws nearer and nearer.
However, when Daddy announced yesterday that the date within a couple of months, I admit my palms started to sweat. I tried to quell the panicky feelings that rose to the surface when I pondered the numerous fine details that are still dangling. Oh, well, what’s the worst that can happen? Maybe they won’t let us be hostesses for another one! We’re doing our best to make it a wonderful occasion!
Monday, May 15, 2006 Chardstock Cottage Trips! I have heard from 2 different members that plan to visit the Strong Cottage in Chardstock, England this summer. What an exciting trip. I would love to get some pictures of those trips and will plan to put them up on the web-site. The first trip is planned in July and the second in August. Let me know if any of you are planning the same excursion. It might turn out to be a rather busy summer at the ancestral cottage in England.
Saturday, May 6, 2006 Payment received – It works! Well, we just received our first on-line payment. Everything worked slick. A Tote Bag was ordered and PayPal only kept .88 cents. Considering that is about the price of a phone call or a couple of stamps I think it is well worth it. Quite a great addition to the Family site, I think.
Monday, May 1, 2006 Happy May Day! Our President, Marlene Langbehn has started their trek north from Texas. If you need correspond with her, please use the Minnesota address.
We have tree blossoms everywhere. It’s a little cool, but it is a typical Spring day in northeastern Indiana. When the wind sends the blossoms swirling, however, it looks like a veritable blizzard.
I received an e-mail from Susan Strong. Her husband, Howard is suffering with cancer. A note to that family would be appreciated. He was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago and has been taking treatments as his system will allow. It is a rough road.
Haven’t heard from Jim Gilbert in a month. I imagine they are all very tired with the demands of emotions and energy taking their toll. When I called the hospital last week, Gay was still listed in Intensive Care after her transplant. We are still keeping that family in our prayers and will up-date the Family Blog as soon as I hear anything.
Thursday, April 20, 2006 Mothers’ Day is May 14 this year: Happy Birthday to Family members born on Mothers Day:

Friday, April 14, 2006 Thanks to Heather Because of the latest inquiry from a member (this time it was Heather Stauffer), I decided to check on PayPal options again for the site. I sent a “Thank you” to her for the prompting and the subsequent changes that I think will benefit the whole Family. In a response from her this morning she said that she was working from her home and had a web-site of her own. You might want to check it out.
Wednesday, April 12, 2006 New name Dear Strong Family, We are announcing our new web-site name. We are now officially www.strongfamilyofamerica.org . This is an exciting change for us. We really wanted to have Strong Family in our name. This will keep us from having to spell out sfaaonline.com each time, also.
Another change has been the ability to edit the original site and link it up with this one. You will find a link to the original site on the home page. I appreciate Martha Strong’s help in making the necessary changes to the original site to make this possible. We are deeply indebted to all those who created that valuable history and desparately wanted to include that information for The Family.
We have also added the option of paying for your memberships, the memorabilia items and the Reunion charges on-line. We hope this will help speed up transactions and make your purchases easier.
Thanks so much for your comments and putting up with us through another transition. We love to hear from you.
Anita J. Brown, Corresponding Secretary
