Fifteen separate Family Activity Packets were created by Candee Robinson for the Egan Celebrations. Each packet highlights 1 of 15 significant life events experienced by Major Howard Egan.
We encourage you to get together as a family, perhaps once a week, and have a family evening learning about the life and times of Major Howard Egan.
Everything is provided in each Activity Packet to make it a fun, fact-filled, activity-based, family event.
You can even use the PowerPoint file and show the packet materials on a computer or television screen.
Start and end with the included songs that are based on the week’s theme; have one family member share the Egan History Highlights; another family member supervise the Egan Activities and/or games; and someone else make the theme-based refreshments. Your family will bond closer, as you learn about and come to value your roots.
