'''New Group Class Requests''' - We are not scheduling a lot of classes during the evenings. This will allow Young Men, Young Women, Relief Society, or families to arrange special classes for their groups. If you have a group that would like a special class, contact Tammy 208-431-4504 or Sharon 208-670-4400 or your ward temple and family history consultant. You may also contact the Burley Family History Center to reserve the basement classroom for your group to work together on your own projects. We have 20 computers in the basement with full access to the portal (all the free websites available only at FamilySearch Centers). People may bring their own devices. It's more fun working together and sharing our discoveries!
