JULY RELIEF SOCIETY NEWS FROM OUR WARD NEWSLETTER

    It was so interesting to see what our talented sisters brought to our activity, highlighting the ‘secret ingredient’ they had been provided –something they might have in their food storage.  There were delicacies from black bean salsa to strawberry/peanut butter waffles. Apologies to those not mentioned, but it was a tasty sampling all around! Thank you to those who participated and shared their talents, as well as their kitchens and family stores to make our “Iron Chef Challenge” so much fun. Thank you to Sister Sarah Holman, Sister Ashlee Mabon and Sister Anikka Edwards, once again, for planning and pulling it off! Another big ‘THANK YOU’ to SisterMandi Taylor for her expertise in food storage and her demonstration with wheat. We also want to thank Caitlin Rosenloff and Jenna for coming to help with the children.
    You may be wondering what happened to our Humanitarian Project. It is on indefinite hold at present. Hold the thought….
    Please enjoy your numerous family summer activities. We will not try to compete and will look towards our Stake Relief Society General Women’s Conference in September.
   BYU Campus Education Week is asking for volunteers 18 and older and able to serve one 3 ¾ hr. shift each day, Tuesday through Friday, Aug. 15-19. See Sister Magnuson for info or sign up online at http://educationweek.byu.edu, or call 801-422-6214.
   There is a Senior Advantage health group through Pioneer Valley Hospital that meets for exercise, water aerobics, and other activities. If you are interested, talk to Sister Magnuson or call PVH.
     The Spanish-speaking sister missionaries assigned to our stake have another stake to cover as well as ours. We have been asked to find sisters who would, on occasion, be able to do a split, so they can attend the block meetings, which are at the same time each week. It would require driving one sister to Jordan North Stake and returning to attend the Spanish Branch meetings from 1:-4:, or make sure there is someone with them there, then pick up the other sister afterwards. They have one car, but can’t drive by themselves. So, can you spare a Sunday afternoon once in a while to help out?  Please let Sister Magnuson or Brother Glen Davis know if you can be available.
   The Jordan River Temple is now open. Check it out.
   Just a nudge: Sister Joan Johnson is residing at Alta Ridge on 9800 South 1900 West, Room 207.  She would love seeing her friends.
