Wright Scoop Urges Host Family Reunions
In celebration of July as national "family reunion" month, the Wright Scoop urges host family reunions as opportunities to identify and document folklore and family stories.
Richmond, VA, July 04, 2011 --(PR.com)-- In her book A Path Worn Smooth, dedicated to the people of Laurel Historic District Virginia, the Wright Scoop - Sylvia Hoehns Wright - invites readers to walk on a path worn smooth by generational expectation. Savor nostalgia for the places that are near and dear to heart, recall family traditions; but more importantly, renew experiences - host community and family reunions. Challenging all, in honor of July as "national family reunion" month, to use such events to document folklore and family stories.
"For me," says Wright "reconnecting with family and community means attending a community day - Glen Allen Day, Compton family reunion held in Union West Virginia and hosting an annual family vacation held in Nags Head North Carolina." Involved in the celebration of her county's 400 year anniversary - http://www.henrico400th.com/, Wright participated in a "hunt for history" interview - http://www2.timesdispatch.com/news/news-video/2011/jan/29/1/re-enactors-at-hunt-for-henrico-history-45340-vi-23980/. To inspire others, she provided a speech/workshop for the Historical Society of Washington, http://www.historydc.org/ and is available to participate in events held by others. To hear an author's interview, link to the Renee Bobb show - http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thereneebobbshow/2010/02/24/meet-the-award-winning-author-sylvia-wright.
Spotlighted by the National Women's History project as a "great book if you want an invigorating read on the beach or to give as a gift," http://www.nwhp.org/blog/?p=680, in draft format, Wright’s book received the Writer’s Connection VA Book Competition Award. Through donating an excerpt to an anthology – Happy Birthday, Mr. Lincoln, she is one of nation-wide contributors recognized by the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge George Washington Metal for their collaborative effort to promote an understanding and appreciation of America’s rich heritage and unique freedoms.
