This Tuesday - Relief Society Activity Meeting
August 28 at 7:00 at the church. Relief Society will be meeting to make 72 hour kits. Sign
up for kits and look at the kit on the table in the hall. Price per kit is $9.00.

Bishop’s Scrapbook (a surprise)
Please finish your page for the scrapbook for Bishop Erickson by the night of the Feast for
a Feast (in September). Each family in the ward is asked to make a 12 x 12 scrapbook page
for him. Be creative and get your children involved – this could be a great FHE project.
Questions? Call Tracy Morris.

Visiting Teaching
The month is almost over! If you haven’t had contact with your sisters, please try to see
them. If schedules don’t permit, call her, text her, send her an email or mail her a note.
Show her you care. Please remember to report to your supervisors.

Clothing-and-Everything-Else Exchange
Coming in October is another exchange. Clean out the garage and closets. Tell your
neighbors. More information coming.

September 29
It is just over a month away. Remember to plan for the Relief Society General Broadcast.
The Stake Relief Society always has an activity in association with the Broadcast. We will
give you more information as soon as we hear.

School has started and it is a time of new beginnings – for all of us. In planning your
schedule, please remember the sisters assigned to you. Visit a sister and give the lesson as
often as you can, but, please make a special effort to do this at least once a quarter. If you
can’t make it to her home in a given month, call her, text her, send her an email or mail her
a note. Show her you care.
