RS Progressive Dinner

We will be having our Relief Society Progressive Dinner on Thursday, December 3. It will begin at 6:30pm. We will start at Marie Cardon's home for salad. The main course will be served at Kristy Gunnell's home, and then we will move to Cheryl Gurney's home for dessert. We hope to see you all there!

Have you ever heard about people who supposedly get their food and household supplies for FREE? Well, Preparedness Pro has the Queen of Coupon Crazies and she’s going to show you how YOU can literally apply the world of couponing to your household and food storage.

Think it takes too much effort? Think again.
Think it’s only for junk food or items that you don’t use? Sorry, wrong again.
Think it’s not worth the effort? Kellene has infused over $800 a MONTH into her family budget by couponing!

Kellene will show you how you can use only 2 hours a week to get free or cheap items that your family will love and NEED. Items such as steak, produce, soups, cheese, popular cleaning items, brand-name hygiene items and medical supplies are easy to come by if you really understand what is possible.

This is truly the MOST thorough and instructional class ever offered in the world of couponing. Kellene will show you everything from where to get the coupons, how to cut them lickety-split, when to use them and what to do with your expired ones that can even help others!

Apron Making

We got together on Tuesday to learn how to make aprons! In attendance was: Camie Johnson (our teacher), Joy Hutchins, Malisalee Gardner, Debbie Storrer, Amanda Pew, and Marilyn Eldridge (with her daughters). Thank you to Camie for the patterns and the know-how. The aprons turned out darling.

The "B" Tree

Kelly and Jeff Johnson are excited to be donating a 6'6" tree to the Festival of Trees. This is an annual fundraiser for Primary Children's Medical Center, where their daughter Bridgette had both of her surgeries due to her Hirschsprung's disease. Last year the event raised $1,495,840.74. Every penny of that money went directly to families that needed assistance, not to administrative costs.

In honor of baby Bridgette, Kelly and Jeff are looking for anyone and everyone that would like to help. They're calling their entry The "B" Tree in honor of Baby Bridgette and her surgeon, Dr. Black. They are decorating the tree in "B" words (bells, bows, birds, berries) and trying to fill the space below with "B" toys (bears, board games, baby dolls, etc.)

They could use help raising funds, with toy donations, and with physical labor. You can find more information on a website Kelly made called The "B" Tree.

The tree set up will be on Nov. 30.

The silent auction is held on Dec. 1.

Public viewing will be Dec. 2-5.

We would like to encourage any Relief Society members that can help to contact Kelly Johnson. This is a great opportunity for us to serve.

Super Saturday Has Come and Gone

Our Super Saturday was a huge success. There were many projects completed. There were a few projects uncompleted (like mine). We had a great lunch. And most importantly we got to share each other's company. Thank you so much to everyone who helped out: Malisalee and Amy for organizing it all. We have a tremendous enrichment board whose help we couldn't have gone without: Lydia, Tina, Cheryl, Shauni, Jody, Mindy, Cyntia, and everyone who helped with the food and other preparations. We all had a great time.
