We would also like about 10 sentences describing the publication so we can pass the word on to all our members. One of our members suggested we try to collect a one page description of as many Slovenian towns and villages as possible. While this seems like a next to impossible task on the surface, there are several viable solutions if our membership would become active. There are many Slovenian organizations across the country, including heritage and musical groups, as well as Slovenian social clubs and homes for the aged. If we could have a volunteer visit each club or home and persuade each elderly member to write or dictate a page on their home town, we'd have an atlas in no time.
Many Catholic schools have programs where school children visit nursing homes.
Each child could record a page of history from an elderly patient. Finally, we have one copy of Krajevni Leksikon which was published in Slovenian in 1950. It contains over 600 pages of information on many cities across Slovenia. If we had a large group of individuals who could translate this book, we would be happy to mail it. Again, this could be a wonderful project for a rest home as long as one of our members could organize the unit and serve as a coordinator.
