Lifelong Learning Night!

'Tis the season to send the area kids back to school, and we invite all sisters to come celebrate learning with us at a Relief Society meeting on Thursday, September 13th, at 7:00 pm in the Cultural Hall.  Sister Carol Ferguson will speak to us about making our homes centers of learning, and we will learn new skills by making fabric flowers for hair clips and brooches.  Come enjoy some good company and light refreshments while we teach each other!  We ask each sister to bring a school supply item to donate to some of our local elementary schools; any school supply is fine, but teachers have particularly requested dry erase markers, pencils, crayons, glue sticks, and hand sanitizer.

We will also be using this activity to kick off our Day of Service later this month, when we will be collecting food to provide Thanksgiving dinner for 250 needy families.  Please bring a donation of non-perishable food from the following list:

stuffing
instant potatoes
corn muffin mix
canned green beans
canned corn
canned cranberries
gravy
jello
cake mix
frosting
disposable turkey roasting pans

If you have any questions about helping with this service project, please see Sister Hatala.

Hope to see you there!  Children's class will be provided.
