for a Relief Society
Summer Social

It will be held in Karen Lamb's back yard (351 N 1000 E). Please bring a snack, dessert, or salad to share. We will have some games to play and have fun getting to know each other. Please try to find a sitter for the kids, but if for some reason you can't, still come and bring them with you. We hope to see you there!

Saturday June 19th we are having a preparedness class at the church at 10 am. The brethren are welcome to join us....we would love to have them there. We will be talking about food storage and canning, 72 hour kits, and giving tips on how to use your wheat storage. We will have handouts and recipes for you to take home. We encourage you to be prepared for the unexpected and when we get together to discuss these topics, everyone benefits from each other. Come with your questions and your ideas to share. For those of you who ordered a basic 72 hour kit, we will have them ready for you. If you did not purchase one, and want to make your own, we will have a list of things you can put in one. We hope to see you there!

Pillowcase Class

Tomorrow night (Tuesday June 8) we will be making pillowcases at the church. Bring 3/4 of a yard of your main fabric and 10 inches of contrasting color for the edge. Also, bring a sewing machine if you have one. See you at 6:30 pm. (For those who don't know, our activity night has changed to Tuesdays for awhile.) Also, if you are still working on an apron, you are welcome to bring that to work on.

Upcoming Class

On Saturday June 19th we will be having a class on food storage and emergency preparedness. We want to make sure that everyone has a 72-hour kit. We are putting together a very basic 72-hour kit for those who would like to purchase them. The kits will be $25.00 and they will include survival items and food for 3 days (see the items listed below.) We will also be handing out lists of what you should put in a kit if you'd prefer to put together one on your own. We need to collect the money by Sunday June 13th. Please let us know if you want one and give your money to Laura Hawkins or Heather Stites. We will be sending around a sign-up at church tomorrow. Also, we would like to have your favorite recipe using wheat. Please email it back to us or bring it to church. We will be giving out ideas on how to use your wheat....but we'd like to have as many ideas as possible, so please send your favorites to us.

30 Meals in a Day Activity

Upcoming Activity

April 22nd at 6:30 pm

30 Meals in a Day

by Penny McEntire

She will demonstrate making/preparing 17 different meals that evening. It will go fast... it usually takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes once she gets started. It goes very quick! You will receive a packet of recipes, menus, shopping lists and information.

She has asked us to provide the following:

3 large pizza pans,

non-stick spray,

3 small zucchini, sliced very thin,

2 large white onions, chopped very small,

1 pkg. of sliced mushrooms,

2 pkg. cream cheese,

2 lbs. shredded mozzarella cheese.

If you would like to sign up for an item, please comment.

Also we are looking for a few volunteers to come early to help set up and prepare. If you are able to come at 5:45, please sign up also!

Flirty Aprons at 6:30!

Thursday, March 25th, Ann Haymond is going to show us how to make flirty aprons. You will need 28 inches of one color for the body of the apron and 2 yards of a contrasting color for the ruffles. This amount will make 2 aprons. You could share material with a friend or use on for a gift (Mother's Day is coming up!) If you would like to make a children's apron you will need 16 inches of fabric for the body and 1 yard for the ruffles. For a boy's apron you will not need the ruffles, just a little fabric to make a pocket for tools, etc. If you have a sewing machine, please bring it. We will be meeting in the Relief Society Room.

Ann has offered to help you "ruffle" your fabric in advance, which will save you a lot of time and effort. If you would like her to do this for you, please take it to her ASAP so she will have time to do it. Out of courtesy to her, please do not wait until the last minute to do this. Her address is 265 N 1070 E.

If for some reason you cannot provide material for this project, please contact a member of the Relief Society Presidency and they will provide some for you. We would love for everyone to participate. This is a great way to learn those basic sewing skills!!!
