Salem History Book Needs Your Family Story
Last chance to submit by May 20.

We'd like to see all our current member families submit their families story--young and old alike.

​

In preparation of Salems 130th anniversary a new history book is being written. We'd like to include a section about our member families. Some possible things to include in your family history are the family members, marriage year, parents, children, grandchildren, occupations, family connection to Salem, anything you’d like to share about your family for future generations. Please include a picture or two.  Articles and photos may be emailed to Alice Hofstad at

 alicehofstad@okleelutheran.org. Older photos can be scanned at 300 dpi and attached to the email.  If you are not comfortable doing that, give Alice the photos and she will scan and return.

  Please submit your family histories ASAP.
