A Few Notes...

This is a reminder about the Fitness Group meeting on Mondays and Wednesdays at 8:45 am. Sis S. Victory is the "leader" of this activity, but if you have any questions about it and can't reach her, you can ask a member of the Enrichment Committee.

Also, at all quarterly enrichments and the upcoming Super Saturday, please expect there to be an "exchange table". You can bring in items that you no longer need or want that are new or gently used, and you can set them there for someone else to give them some love. You don't have to bring something to take something either.

Beginning October 15th, Playgroup will begin to be held at the Church in the Cultural Hall at 9:00 am - 11:00 am every Thursday (except when there is no school in the CR District). Please bring your own toys for the children to play with - keep in mind that sharing will be necessary when choosing what to bring. We will NOT be using Nursery items.

Handicraft Class

For those of you not in Relief Society last Sunday, the Handicraft Class was moved to the 1st and 3rd Monday at 0930. Sis Gudmundsen is the leader of this class and announced it to the ladies but I am not sure that those in YW and Primary were told of the change. The information in the bulletin is incorrect.

Any changes that are made to the class are discussed with the members at each meeting and will be announced here as soon as I (Sis. McClellan) know about them.

I think that they are set with the new day/time, though.

Canning Class!!!

Please don't forget about the canning class at Sis. D. Surdukowski's house tomorrow (Wednesday, September 23rd) at 9:30 am. If you are reading this and know of anyone who might not know or be checking the blog, I would love it if you would tell them about it. It's a great opportunity to see what exactly is done to can your own foods. She will be demonstrating it all right there in her kitchen.

A Change

Please note the new time and extra day for the Workout Group. We had SO MUCH fun today that we decided to add on another day and to start a little earlier. So, we will now be meeting Monday's and Wednesday's at 8:45 at the church. If you have an exercise ball, you might want to bring it with you. If everyone there has them, we thought it would be fun to do a workout with them. If everyone doesn't, at least one gal has an extra, but we can always do something else too. Today was "improv" day because we weren't able to get a tv. Most days will probably be a workout following a DVD/tape that is brought. We're flexible though, so please come and share your ideas for future workouts at the end of the hour. See you there!

Examples of our Super Saturday Crafts

We have not yet made our own examples for Super Saturday, but we have examples that were the ones that inspired us for our crafts from the internet. I will explain how our projects differ from the examples.

You will choose 2 activities from the following 4 activities - one for the "morning session" and one for the "afternoon session". When you are done with your project during each session,there will be school bags to "stuff" with school supplies, and quilts to tie (a great opportunity to learn how to tie a quilt if you don't know how!!). Both of these projects will be sent to SLC for the humanitarian aid efforts.


Morning Choices (9:00 am - 10:30 am):

Pot Holder 1st Aid Kit (This will be one of the projects that costs money to do - it will cost you the price of a rectangular pot holder that has a loop in the middle of one of the short sides. )

You will have bring with you to Super Saturday the pot holder that you purchased to make your First Aid kit with - there will not be any provided by the Relief Society. The RS will provide baggies and a few of the items you might want to put in your kit along with the button that will need to be sewn on at Super Saturday to keep your kit closed. This is a fun project to learn how to do and give as a gift.




Visiting Teaching Reminder Refrigerator Magnet (This project will be free to make.)

The below picture is a VERY bad example of what we will be making, but it's to give you an idea. We will have two wooden hearts, one larger than the other. The larger heart we will decoupage with an image of a little sheep (much cuter than this one if I do say so myself ;) ). The smaller heart we will hang from a string from the larger heart and we will paint it red and write "Fed" and "Hungry" on either side. This project is one you will be able to keep for years to come to use to keep on top of your Visiting Teaching.

Afternoon Choices (11:30 am - 1:00 pm):

Family Home Evening Book (The book costs $7.95 and this price will increase slightly if we have to pay shipping. If fewer than 13 people take part in this project, we will have to pay shipping.)

This project will include coloring 52 images (approx. 2" x 2") that coordinate with each of the 52 lessons and cutting them out to place into bags. This project will give you a whole year's worth of Family Home Evening ideas and it's perfect for use for a couple with no children in the home or a family with several children. The lessons are easy to use and even have a suggested song also listed. Please see Sis. Greenstreet if you would like to thumb through her copy of this book. We will have to know how many of you want to do this activity by the 1st of October and have the money in hand to place the order by then so that the books have time to ship and arrive here for Super Saturday. Look for the sign-up at Church.

Batik Wall Hanging (This option will be free.)

*Our hanging will be slightly smaller the one in the magazine's tutorial.* The project is a little time-consuming and to allow for us to be able to do it at the Super Saturday, 24 hours ahead of time the Enrichment Committee will draw images on the Muslin for those who are in the class. For those of you who don't want the Enrichment Committee to draw your images for you (there will be a variety of images that the Committee is going to draw - not just leaves as in the example) and you would like to make your images on your hanging exactly as you want (there's nothing wrong with either way - you doing it, or the Committee), you will need to get your muslin from Sis. Gudmundsen prior to Super Saturday (more than likely the Sunday before, but possibly sooner than that) and complete the first steps of drawing your images in Washable Glue yourself. See the tutorial for the project here: http://jas.familyfun.go.com/crafts?page=CraftDisplay&craftid=12274 This project will be a fun one to learn how to do and will brighten up your home as it hangs on your wall.

Please stay tuned for the next few Sundays to get all of the information in preparation for this fun event! We are so excited to put it on for you and to be able to do some service at it while we are also having fun and learning new skills that benefit ourselves.

No more fabric for book covers, please!!

Ladies,

there has been a change in plans for one of the activities at our upcoming Super Saturday (please see previous posts for more information). We will NOT be making book covers, so we do not need any more donated fabric for them. If you donated fabric for them and would like it back, please contact me (Sis. M. McCellan). We will have sign-ups and more information for you in Relief Society on Sunday (and it should also be passed around Primary and Young Women's - so those of you in there please make sure that if you don't happen to see/hear the info, you contact me).

I hope you're getting excited - I know that your Enrichment Committee has put a lot into getting ready for this!!

Thanks!

UPDATE - NO Date Change

Ladies, please still read the posts below about Enrichment for this Quarter because we are back on for September 8th at 6:30 pm.

We apologize for any confusion that this move may have caused and appreciate your understanding.

*********There will be a table set up at this meeting for you to place items you wish to give away. There is a spiffy name for having these tables at meetings but my brain isn't functioning right now ;) The items should be new or gently used items that you no longer need/want. You don't have to bring something to take something.**********
