If you'd like these kits (they are $12 each), please sign up in one of the relief society binders or let Sis. Redding know by Sunday, March 14th so she can shop for all items. Checks can be made out to Shenna Redding.

Also, for Susan's "Do you have a clue?" class-- she will address the assembling of important documents and will offer binders and sheet protectors ($2 for these supplies) to those interested.

3. Couponing
We have a great presentation on the tricks of this trade!

*Keep in mind that there will be a lot of information shared in each of these classes, so please attend even if you do not wish to pay for the supplies to assemble a 72 hr kit or an important document binder. You are welcome to collect any info presented in the classes and then assemble items on your own at home, and according to your own preferences-- for example: choosing what items you may specifically want in your 72hr kit, or what binder you may want to use or using one you already have at home, etc.

And then after these classes-- our favorite part: lunch!! (Main dish will be courtesy of our cooking class concoctions with soups, salad, and bread.) And while we eat-- entertainment from the Middle-Eastern Dancing and Line Dancing Groups.

Also a part of the morning: a quilt we will tie for humanitarian aid, the drawing for the blanket raffle winners (please bring in your new or gently used blankets - of all sizes - to donate between now and Mar. 20th. Every blanket earns you an entry to increase your chance at winning a great prize in our drawing), and of course we will have opportunities to socialize with one another!

We hope that all of you sisters can join us.

*If you will need childcare for your children, please let Amber Proudlock know (she will be helping to organize the nursery for those interested).
