Preparedness Fireside, Sales and Enrichment Meeting

Happy Sunday Evening everyone!

FIRESIDE: I received information about a preparedness fireside for NEXT SUNDAY, August 16th (7-9 pm) in the Santaquin North Stake Center (200 East 550 North, Santaquin). The speaker will be Tim Woolf, who coordinated preparedness efforts in that area of the church for several years. He will be speaking on "how to survive disasters, famine, plague, economic failure and more..." he supposedly has a talent for teaching/sharing that knowledge with others.

So, bring your husband (face it -- both husbands and wives need to know this information) or go with a neighbor -- carpool and you'll have lots to talk about on the way home :) BTW, although the fireside starts at 7 p.m., it should be packed, so plan on getting there EARLY if you want a soft seat!

SALES: For those of you working on our current Humanitarian project (or who need school supplies for your own children), here are a few of the super school sales going on this week:
AT OFFICE MAX: 70 page spiral notebooks - 1 cent each (limit 3 while supplies last), rulers - 5 cents each (limit 3), 10-pack #2 pencils - 10 cents each (limit 3), or Crayola crayons (24 pack) - 20 cents each (limit 3).

SUPER FRIDAY ENRICHMENT MEETING - Sunset 13th Ward:
Everything is in place for our Super Friday Enrichment Meeting -- Friday, September 18th from 5-10 p.m. We have great mini-classes, a dinner, and craft projects to work on that evening.

For those of you who plan on making the beaded watches craft, make sure to contact Jacquie Wood. She will be hosting an open house this Wednesday and Thursday in the evening for you to come over and order watch faces and she will also have pre-purchased packets of beads that you can purchase from her. Orders should be placed THIS WEEK so that we can have them in time for Super Friday. Don't miss out on these fun watches! If you want to purchase your own beads, try Roberts or Michaels Crafts and use their 40-50% off coupon.

For those who are going to be making the Flirty Aprons, you will need 1 yard of fabric for the front and 1-1/4 yard for the back and ties and pocket. You will also need coordinating thread and a sewing machine. You will want to have your fabric pre-cut so that you can spend the evening doing the actual sewing. CONTACT BRANDI WORLE for more information.

Are you interested in putting together some great gifts of Tiled Sayings on boards? If so, this class is for you! Emily Miller will have samples of different projects next Sunday(16th). At that point, we will have sign-ups so that she can place her order by the end of this month. If you are interested in purchasing your own materials (vases, ornaments, plates, tiles, picture frames, etc.), go ahead and do that and they you can either order your vinyl from Emily or purchase your own separately.

What to do with all those pictures? If you don't want to spend all that time in front of a scanner scanning in all of your old pictures, bring them to Super Friday and we will have a high speed scanner there and we will do it for you! For only 19 cents each, we will have your pictures scanned in and then you can either bring your own CD or flash drive to load them on or you can purchase a CD from our consultant who will be overseeing the scanning.

It's a Grinding Party! If you need/want to have your beans, grains or popcorn ground into flour, bring some with you to Super Friday and we will grind it for you that evening. Don't forget to bring ziplock bags to put it in.... After you grind them, they will store the longest (and keep their nutritional value longer) if you put them in the freezer.

If you have any questions or need phone numbers for the ladies in charge (listed above), please contact me by email (susan_wheatley@comcast.net) and I will direct you....

BULK SALES ORDERS:
I will be picking up all the rest of the orders of bulk powdered milk, seeds, etc. this coming week. Contact me for your total of how much you owe. They can be picked up on Saturday/Sunday (15th/16th) of August at my home. E-mail for more information.
