Help Wanted PLEASE!!

Green light = Go on Thesis!  
Today I had my meeting with the committee and it went well!  The scope of my study was narrowed to just females.  I hope to complete my research by August.  

Anyways, when I was walking to the meeting someone stopped me and asked why I was carrying a fruit pizza.  I explained that the committee gets to eat while I talk.  His response was that I should probably have bought GrapeNuts or CornNuts so they couldn't hear me.  My confidence was deflating… but it is a good idea for the autumn defense!!

I need some help please.
I need to recruit five different families and go to a family ritual.  This can be anything from an annual event of making pie, rummage sale shopping, attending church, picking strawberries… as long as it is an annual event that they expect to do each year.  Like I said I will go to the ritual to observe and than have a 20 minute interview with each generational family member.

Here is the criteria for the families.
Three generations of women from a family will be represented. A grandma, mother, and granddaughter.  The granddaughter needs to be between the ages of 13-20.  Now the ritual can contain more people, but at least have these three people in there.  

I would greatly appreciate any help or tips!
