~Pioneer Names for TREK~

Here's a few guidelines and clarifications as you search for a name to have on trek.
1- Every young man, young women, and leaders need a name.
2- Each ward, under the direction of the YM/YW presidents, will compile a list of each person attending trek and the name they have chosen.  (leaders included)
3- The name can be: a) pioneer ancestor b) any pioneer c) any ancestor with an inspiring story.
4- Each youth and leader should have there name and the story along with it written down or know it well enough to recite it during TREK.
5- Trouble finding a name go to www.suplibrary.org for a huge list of pioneer names and there stories.
6- There may be some with the same name.  Not a problem, we may just get to know that name and story well.
7- Any questions contact your youth leader or Matt Malan 801-540-9639.


Now go find those names and lets have an incredible experience on TREK!
