Hello Sisters! I hope you all have had a happy Halloween weekend and got all the chocolate you need for the next few days at least!!
We wanted to send out a big thank you to Lynn P. for helping us with dry pack canning the hot chocolate. It was just as easy and fun as she told us it would be, and now we have the benefit of yummy hot chocolate. I don't know about any of you, but I've already enjoyed several cups and am looking forward to many more this winter!! Thanks for helping us and for letting us use your house Lynn!!
Just a few announcements for you:
1. Don't forget about our night RS meeting on November 9 at 6:30 pm. We will be "In the Kitchen with..." several wonderful women who will be teaching us how to make pies, bread, appetizers, and candy. It will be a lot of fun, and hopefully we'll learn some new tricks to help us this holiday season!
2. Our next Provident Living meeting will be on November 11 at 7 pm. We will be talking about a 3 month supply of food and food for our 72 hour kits. Great information for getting prepared in an emergency.
3. Ward Temple day is November 20. You can attend either the 6:30 am or 6:30 pm session with other members of our ward.
4. Just a note to put on your calendar, the ward Christmas party will be on December 11. Put it on your calendar now - it's always a fun activity!

August 29 Announcements
Hello Sisters!
I know I've been sporadic at best with keeping this up, and it's only likely to get worse once the baby comes! I'll apologize now and hope you can forgive me! Here are a few of our announcements for this week:
1. Don't forget about the Labor Day breakfast (yum!!) on September 6 from 8-9:30 am at the bowery. Any time food is involved you know it will be a good activity! Hope to see you there!!
2. The Women's Broadcast is September 25th at the Stake Center. There will be a light dinner at 5 pm and then we will watch the broadcast at 6 pm. There is a sign-up sheet so they know how much food to plan for, so please make sure you get signed up for that if you are planning on attending.
3. Our next Provident Living class will be September 9 at 7 pm in the RS room.
4. For our 5th Sunday lesson we talked about Emergency Preparedness. Brother Mefford spoke about how our ward is organized in "blocks". In the event of an emergency we are to contact the nearest Priesthood Leader to us (member of the Bishopric, Elder's Quorum Presidency, or High Priest Group Leadership) to let them know the status of the members of our "block". There was a handout of the ward map with each "block" outlined. Brother Baldwin spoke about the city response time and about 72 hour kits. He also had a handout. If you missed getting either of these handouts please contact Brother Mefford or Brother Baldwin.
5. We also discussed cleaning our church building. We are in charge of cleaning until the end of the year. There was a schedule emailed out on Monday. Please look at it and make sure that you put when you are scheduled to clean on your calendars. If you cannot do it on the day you are scheduled please make sure that you get a substitute. We will also remind you on the RS bulletin.
Thanks Sisters! Hope you have a wonderful week!!

Finally Catching Up!
Sorry Sisters - it has been such a long time since I updated this blog! I didn't even realize how long it has been! I will try to be better - much better! - about it!
A few dates to remember:
July 15 - Book Club at 7:30 pm at Donna Barnes' home
July 29 - Night Relief Society Meeting
Our Summer Relief Society Activity is going to be a lot of fun this year. We will be eating salads and putting together kits for women and children in the Women's Shelter. There was a sign-up going around in church for both the salad and the items to go in the kits. If you did not see either one look for it next week, or call DeLonne for more information.
Also, if you are working on the Spirit of Ammon award, just remember that you have until November to finish the Book of Mormon (if you are like me I have some serious catching up to do!) Also, another thing you could do is write a letter to one of our many wonderful missionaries!
Hope you all have a great week!!
