Here are a few pictures from last month’s conference!

The 26th MHA Union/conference was a great success. There was a great in person turnout, as well as on-line. We are already planning for next year’s Union location, and will announce it soon. If anyone is interested in viewing the 26th Union guest speakers, we recorded the Live zoom event. All you have to do is become a member of MHA to receive the link. You can become a member on-line at: http://melungeon.org/762-2/, or by mail at: PO Box 193, Fieldale, VA. 24089. We will be posting pictures soon of the Union, so stay tuned.

The MHA 26th Union is fast approaching. The Union will be held in Martinsville, VA on Friday, June 24th and Saturday, June 25th. If you are interested, but cannot attend in person, we will be recording the Union Live through Zoom. To register for the Union to receive the Zoom link go to this link: http://melungeon.org/762-2/
