Family Expo April 4-5 designed to strengthen families

Brigham Young University's annual Family Expo will be held Monday and Tuesday, April 4-5, in the BYU Conference Center on campus.

Speakers — including Scott L. Anderson, Sheri L. Dew, George D. Durrant, Elder Cree-L Kofford (General Authority Emeritus) and Robert L. Millet — will discuss topics such as feasting on the word as families, making a case for virtue, family home evening, the Lord's law of parenthood and forgiving in the heart and home.

Family Expo will last each day from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with a lunch break from noon to 1:30 p.m.

Individual registration for the conference is $70 and registration for credit is $168. Married-couple registration is $105; student registration is $5 and is available only by calling (801) 422-8925. Free registration is available for BYU full-time personnel and their spouses.

Other participants can register online at ce.byu.edu/cw/cwfamily/2005/registration.dhtm. A fax number and mailing address for registration is also available at the web site.
