This year is half gone and it is time to review the goals made at the first of the year. Two of these goals need our special attention. If we were serious about doubling our membership we should now have fifty percent more members than we had last year. Doubling the membership is not unreasonable.
The best source of funds for this project is through the memorializa¬ tion program. These were the funds that primarily built our building, and would permit all members to participate.
The second goal was to increase the memorialization program. This goal now becomes a “MUST”, as we have a newly designed remodel¬ ing program for our building. This entails a front entrance to the base¬ ment area and remodeling the downstairs to make it more attrac¬ tive and functional for chapter meetings and other purposes. The

I have just received the member¬ ship chart that shows membership increase or loss during the year 1986, I am truly amazed that we have lost one hundred and thirty members from last year’s total of twenty-two hundred and five members. This makes it imperative that all members lend their support in recruiting new members. Let’s all do it “NOW”.

Mid-Year Appraisal Brings New Energies Towards Goals
For example, recently the Cedar City Chapter sponsored a chapter in Hurricane, Utah. The new “Hur¬ ricane Valley Chapter” was organiz¬ ed with the assistance of Foyer Olsen, Lorin Hirschi, Verdell Hin¬ ton and other members of the new chapter. In four months, they chartered the chapter with fiftythree members in attendance. There have been several other chapters organized this year also.
Membership expansion would solve most of the problems of this organization. “PLEASE,” let’s make a concentrated effort to ex¬

One of the exciting events spon¬ sored by the Sons of Utah Pioneers this year has been the Brigham Young Challenge. This run was held Saturday morning, May 31. It con¬ sisted of four ten-mile sections of the pioneer trail coming into the Salt Lake Valley, The run started at Echo, continuing on into Henefer, up past East Canyon and on into Salt Lake Valley.
D. Wayne Mallet, National Presi¬ dent of the Sons of Utah Pioneers, in discussing the project made this comment, “Failure to memorialize our pioneer ancestors is a failure to record in the annals of history the name-by-name credit due for a great accomplishment,” Then he added, “, , . it’s a sacred duty to memorialize those names,”
This annual run is a great oppor¬ tunity for a family to have an activi¬ ty that the entire family can par¬ ticipate in without a feeling of com¬ petition and yet a lot of lessons can be taught from the experience. Put¬ ting aside the experience of prepar¬ ing for and running a mile is the ex¬ perience of being a part of history.
Once qualified, the names are engraved upon permanent anodized aluminum panels. The panels hang in the “Gallery of the Pioneers” at the National Headquarters located at 3301 East 2920 South, Salt Lake City, Utah,

First things first: Register your family organization together with the name of the person who is responsible for the family organiza¬ tion. If you don’t have a family organization, send your name to the above address and the Sons of the Utah Pioneers will render some help. Research will be necessary to establish the date of arrival in the valley. It is a desirable procedure to submit all family names at the same time so all family names may be memorialized together.
Don’t forget Great, Great Grand¬ father, who did so much for so many. After all, if he was the ancestor who crossed the plains or the one who pulled or pushed a handcart leaving bloody tracks in the sand , , how can we forget?

Tom Daniels of the Church Genealogical Department made this comment regarding the project, “There is a need to communicate with family organizations from time to time to make announcements of interest to family organizations, for coordination of genealogical research or information about fami¬ ly reunions. The Sons of the Utah Pioneers are to be commended for the project of registering pioneer families.”
The National Society of the Sons of the Utah Pioneers has commenc¬ ed a program for the registration of Pioneer families who reached the Salt Lake Valley before May 10, 1869, The registration will open the way to memorialization of those stalwart and brave men and women that settled this great valley. Special provisions have also been made to memorialize those who came after May 10, 1869,
Names submitted for memorialization must meet the pioneer qualifications of arriving in the valley before May 10, 1869,
Some were worried about being able to run the full mile while others had been training for this event. The most excited seemed to be the kids. This gave them a chance to run, something they love to do, and yet it had a special meaning since they would be running over the actual trail that the pioneers had walked.
The next time one of the runners in the Brigham Young Challenge reads about or has a lesson on the pioneers he or she will have a dif¬ ferent feeling about what the pioneers experienced.

Pres* Lincoln Jenson has made a sincere effort to encourage members and friends to display the flag properly and often and to be inspired by what it stands for.

is a bit slower in leading out, we have made a good beginning* Graduation requirements from high school have been upgraded and en¬ trance examinations for college have been improved. Our teachers are do¬ ing a good job in spite of the fact that Utah is lowest in the nation in funding from the state legislature; we have more students per class and lower wages than some of our neighboring states.
Dr* Glen Humphries, curator and director of Wheeler Farm, showed us several unique relics from the farm and explained their use in pioneer days* He then gave a slide presentation of a visit to the farm, showing the restoration of several buildings*
