Annual MWHIT Breakfast at MHA
Over 100 people attended the annual MWHIT breakfast, held in conjunction with the conference of the Mormon History Association, on June 11, 2016. In addition to the traditional networking and highlighting of publications and research interests, this year's event featured a memorable address by Alice Faulkner Burch (above, center), president of the Relief Society of the Genesis Group. The full text of her talk is available here.

A Tradition Revived: The MWHIT Bazaar

The first annual (?) MWHIT bazaar, reviving the historical tradition of Relief Society bazaars, was a smash hit at MHA this year: Dozens of items, scores of bids, lots of fun! We raised a tidy sum to help support our awards, events, and outreach. Thank you to all who donated items or services, shopped, and helped out in the booth.
