Wedding Registry

We really don't expect or need any gifts. Instead of a gift you could make a donation (of any amount) to Gambia's school children through the Peace Corps scholarship Fund. About $60 can send one girl or boy to school for a year! There is also a Peace Corps site for donations to volunteer projects. Nothing else would make us so happy.

For those who prefer to give us a gift, we are commissioning a local artist at Utah Artist Hands to make us some pottery: plates, bowls, serving dishes. There is a web page up that allows you to purchase pottery items here: http://www.utahands.com/weddings/mattnlaura/mattnlaura.html

We are also registered at Amazon.com:
