Sunday Meeting Schedule

Sisters,

Because next week, March 31 is Easter, we will not meet as a Relief Society.  Also, the following weekend, April 7, is General Conference.

Don't forget to stock up on your food storage if you can.  This week's item is beans.  Buy 1 dried bag per person or 3-5 cans per person.  Get a variety that your family will eat.

Additional Relief Society Meeting September


Thursday, September 20 at 7 pm.
Family Tree Project or Indexing Class. 

Please provide your own supplies for this project. All supplies can be found at any craft store. You should expect to spend around $5-$7 for supplies, not including the frame. Remember many store coupons can be found online to help you save.

Keep in mind, you are able to customize this family tree to your taste. If you like green leaves, get that color card stock paper. If you would prefer a white background instead of cream, get that. I do recommend getting large sheets of artist drawing paper, instead of poster board, as it will not fade with time. Any brand will work. Do your best to keep the sheets flat until the class.

Supplies:
19x25 brown drawing paper (tree)
19 x 25 cream drawing paper (background)
3 sheets of  8 1/2 x 11 inch cardstock for male names (ex: red)
3 shets of 8 1/2 x 11 inch cardstock for female names (ex: orange)
16 x 20 inch frame or mat (you don't have to have this the night of the class)

Relief Society will cover your glues.

Before the Class:
You will need to compile a list of 4 generations of family members, including birthdate. (You, your spouse, parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. You can include your children)

These names can be typed ahead of time, or handwritten. Please contact Sister Hooste if you would her to email a template to type your names. You will want to print these out on your cardstock prior to our meeting. All female names should be on one color cardstock, while all the male names should be on the other. If you plan on handwriting the names, just bring your paper to the class. We will have pens for you.

Granny's Attic


The "Back to School - Grannys Attic" will be Saturday, August 18 from 9:00 till noon at the Hurst Stake Center.  All are welcome to donate items of clothing, shoes, etc for this event. We as a Ward have the opportunity to provide packets of pens and glue sticks to help those in our area with provisions for their children as they start back to school.  
 
Walmart has packages of pens for 97 cents and glue sticks for 10 cents each.  There will be a container in the foyer on Sunday for these items, and the container will remain there until Sunday August 12.  Your donations can be given to Cheri or myself.  Thank you for your help. 

We are midway through another month, we know that lives are very busy and appreciate all you do.  We encourage you to contact your sisters, either by phone, a letter or a phone call.  Thank you!
 
"And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God"

Things to know

We are changing things up to having an Additional Relief Society Meeting just once a quarter. We are in the works for planning a Practical Emergency Preparedness for June and will keep you posted!

More things just to know:
The Stake will be having another granny's attic exchange in August.

In September we are planning a fun, affordable family tree project. Keep that in mind as you are doing your family research. You will need to have the name & birthdates of the husband & wife as well as the same information for their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. There will also be an indexing class for those interested.
