*Our activity for August is the Ward B-Q/Swimming Party on the 29^th! The B-Q is from 5-6:00 in the pavilion just south of the Spanish Fork Swimming Pool. We have the pool reserved for our ward from 6:30-8:00.

Note: All children ages 3 and younger are required to wear a swim diaper and plastic pants, regardless of whether or not they are potty trained. 

We hope to see you all there!

*Mark your calendar for September 5^{th !}  We will be sharing ideas and recipes using food storage. You won’t want to miss the food storage tasting table!

Don't forget our RS activity this week. 6:00 on Wednesday, July 11. Ann Haymond will be showing us how to make some darling wall hangings/table runners. Please bring your sewing machine if you have one. Fabric requirements will be in RS on Sunday, or contact Chris Hansen or Amber Parish to get a copy. If you have another sewing project you would like to work on, please bring it and your machine, and come visit with the sisters.

*Our next RS activity will be June 13 at 6:00. Kay Thomas Perkins will be giving us a refresher course in first aid! Come prepared to share your 'what if' situations, so she can address specific concerns.  

Preparedness tip

The Dollar Store has great deals on first aid kit items such as gauze, antibiotic ointment, anti-itch cream, elastic bandage wraps, tweezers, pain meds…

Prepardness

In case you're looking for a solution for 72-hr. kit food that goes rancid in the summer heat of the car, Emergency Essentials has food bars on sale right now that can handle the summer heat of being in a car as well as the cold in the winter. A 3-day supply pack of  S.O.S. bars are only $6.25 and they're good for 5 years. That's a sweet solution! You can also buy one-meal Millennium food bars for $1.20 with the same durability in case you want some on hand without opening the 3-day pack.

Good luck with your preparedness efforts! If you have ideas, we'd love to hear!

May RS activity...

* Our next RS activity is a humanitarian night on May 9th at 6:00 with Debbie Bell.  Join sisters in the ward for an evening of service! This is a change from our previous announcement.  Our first aid refresher course has been moved to another month.

News!

Sister Beck talks about the updated website for sister missionary dress standards as an example for all RS sisters to follow. The models look so radiant, stylish, happy, virtuous... you get the idea! My girls were very motivated and inspired by the site and were excited about the things they found that they could improve. Enjoy! 

For those who like to sew, heirloom temple apron embroidery kits are available through the Church Distribution Center. You can also buy distribution items on line.

*Our next RS activity has been changed to May 9th at 6:30. Kay Thomas Perkins will be giving us a refresher course in first aid to prepare us for summer activities!
