The Eller Chronicles

-143-

We take this opportunity to thank you for your attendance at the Salisbury Conference and for your support of the EFA. We hope each of you returned home with a greater knowledge and appreciation of the Eller families of the the United States and Germany. We especially hope you acquired a higher level of enthusiasm for the EFA and will continue to spread the word about the Association and the Conferences among members of your Eller family line. Please understand and explain to others, the the ELLER FAMILY ASSOCIATION in no way wishes to compete with family reunions already in existence. In fact, we wish to support and encourage all such efforts.

Plans for the 1991 EFA Conference are under way! The early announcement of date and place of the next conference will make it possible for you to schedule vacations, contact family members and make plans to get together at these ELLER FAMILY CONFERENCES to be held every other year (odd numbered years in July). Start a new family tradition of attending!
