How Can I Participate More in RS, You Ask?

After Sister Beck's talk a few weeks ago at the General RS Meeting, there have been a few changes in our Enrichment Groups. For one thing, they are no longer called Enrichment Groups. We will call them what they are. In our ward, you may notice some of these groups coming and going over the next little while as we try to meet the needs of the sisters while following the goals and guidelines spoken of in Sister Beck's talk.

Please share with us your ideas and keep in mind with each group that starts up, it's going to need a leader to keep it running. For instance there is great interest in beginning a sewing or quilting group but we need someone who would be willing to keep it going, host it or find hosts for it, etc.

Please take a minute and vote about the two proposed groups in the poll on the right. Thank you!

Deployed Spouses Group

Due to a lack of availability of the community centers the Deployed Spouses trunk-or-treat has been cancelled...that sounds funny. I don't think it was the spouses themselves that would be begging for treats but you never know. I'd do just about anything for chocolate.

Remember the Ward Halloween party coming up Oct. 30. There will be plenty of treats to be had there!

Book Group

Time again for book group. It will be at Robbie's house on Wednesday at 7:30. Hope to see you there. For more info or to vote on next month's book, go to http://www.momsthatread.blogspot.com/

Time for Canning!

If you are planning on taking advantage of Donna H.'s offer to do some canning this week, your money needs to get to her today. Print the order form and fill in what you would like. Remember to add in the cans and oxygen absorbers. We'll be canning at Donna's house on Wednesday and Thursday at noon.

Thank you Donna for making this so convenient for us!!

You Might Want to Skip Dinner

Cooking Group is tonight at Jody C.'s at 7 PM. Bring your favorite Halloween treat to share. Mmmmmm......................

Hope to see you there!

Did You Miss It?

For those of you who were able to attend the General RS broadcast Saturday, I'm sure you'll agree it was very inspiring. It was great to see so many sisters there. Sister Beck, the General RS President implemented a few changes in the way we'll be doing things. You can listen to this broadcast here.

Well, That Makes it Easy

Donna H. has reserved the canner and pouch sealer from the cannery and she has so graciously invited anyone who wants to build their food storage to come to her house Oct 13 or 14 to use it. Prices are down right now for many items at the cannery so now is the time to do this! If you have never done this before, it is a fun and simple process. Besides the Church cannery has the BEST hot cocoa! (I'm running low so count me in Donna.)

If you have any questions, please contact Donna H.

Feeling Creative?

Super Saturday is November 7. Check the Super Saturday blog for pictures and information on projects and classes being offered.

Progressive Dinner

It's time for one of my favorite activities! Lots of great friends and lots of great food--who wouldn't love it? The annual progressive dinner is this Wedsnesday at 6 PM. We'll be meeting at Macie's house for appetizers, Jamie P.'s for the main dish, then we'll continue on to Stacey's for dessert. If you haven't signed up yet, email us as to which of these things you'd like to bring. There will be no childcare provided. Babes in arms okay.

Feel free to bring a friend!

Twenty-third Already?!

Yup, the month is winding down. Have you done your visiting teaching yet? Make sure they are aware of our upcoming activities. I keep thinking about the talk our wonderful bishop gave on Sunday. We are a family. A ward family. Let's watch out for each other.
