MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
I wish to remind everyone of the Third year of Grave Decorations being sold. This is a wonderful way to remember one's loved ones in a visual way as well as a way to help the Society gain an addition to the treasury.

NEW FEATURE/FUNCTION ON WEBSITE:
New feature on "What's New," "Obituaries" & "Message Board" pages. You can now be notified when there has been a change on any of these pages. There is a little "change detection" box on each of these pages. Follow the instructions by filling in your email, etc. You can change it at any time. I may add this feature to other pages, but I want to see how it works for these first. This "box" is located near the top of the pages.
Another new feature is at the bottom of each page: If you like the information on a page, you can click on the "share this" icon at the bottom of any page on site. It will give you a few options: email the page to someone, post it to your Facebook page, etc.
REUNIONS
HEINTZELMAN
http://www.tampicohistoricalsociety.com/board/board_topic/23882/955823.htm
We received a letter from Sherry Berta and April Koltes that the Heintzelman Family Reunion will be held on July 2nd in Joliet at the home of Sherry and Jim Berta. The date was decided on so that family members could have some extra time to be together. Apparently this is the first official Heintzelman family reunion. That's exciting! We will have a chance to pull everything together. The plans are still being finalized. If someone is interested in attending, and no letter was sent, just let us know who you are.
MESSAGE BOARDS

R Welch writes: "My father Edward F. Welch was born in Tampico to Charles S and Sophia (Steinke) Welch. I am trying to get some additional information regarding my grandparents. Their is only one remaining sibling,a sister from my father's family and she lives on the coast. My father's family eventually moved to Galesburg where I grew up. I would be interested to know if there is any relatives in the Tampico area and any history of the family. I think that on my grandmother's side there may be some Steinke relatives in the area. Sofia's birth date was December 18th and I think around 1888. She died around 1977 and was 89 if I remember correctly. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you."

Our guest speaker for our March program was Michael Murphy from Rockford, IL. Mr. Murphy had a personal visit with President Reagan in his Los Angeles office in 1998. It was a very moving experience for him and his admiration was evident in his presentation. Mr. Murphy is very enthusiastic with an infectious energy. We are looking forward to more visits from him. There are two photos of him in our TAHS PROGRAMS
