Dear Sisters,
We handed out a survey last month that would really help us as we plan activities for the rest of the year. We only got a few back so we were wondering if we could beg a favor. I have given surveys to the district leaders to give to each of the visiting teaching pairs in their districts. They will- if they haven’t already, give them to you and we would really appreciate if you could take them to the sisters you visit, help them fill them out and then make sure we get them back. If you have already gone this month then if you could just make sure they get them and follow up on your next visit that would be great too. We know this can make the activities we plan a lot more fun and helpful at the same time. We’re looking forward to a great year.
Thanks for your help
Janet

Saturday Morning we’re going to throw on as many quilts as we can get done from 9:00-1:00 at the church. Come down when you can and stay as long as you can. Feel free to bring your kids if you need to. They can play under the quilts or they can help too. See you there!

Sisters,
The stake has told us about a group from St George taking supplies to Haiti. They need new or used quilts or blankets twin sized or smaller. The blankets can be taken to the Stake Center this Friday, Feb 5th , from 4-8 PM. Sis Olsen will take them to St George Saturday morning. The plane will fly out to Haiti Feb 11th . You can also bring donations to any of the presidency by Friday at 4 and we’ll take them over.
Sister Olsen has also been in touch with the Humanitarian Aid Center in SLC asking what we need to do for the Stake project in April. The church is almost out of quilts. They need Full and Twin quilts. These have to be new, tied no more than 4 inches apart, twin- 72 x 90, full- 90 x 90. We will organize a couple days to work on them together and you can quilt together on your own. She asked that they be turned in as we finish them because the need is so great. Call if you have questions or ideas.
Thanks

Book Club

Our first meeting will be this Wednesday Feb. 3rd @ 6pm, at Tara Faughts Home.
Please bring your favorite book. If you have any questions contact Tara.

They're looking for more donations for Haiti & Humanitarian Aide - these can be made on the LDS.org web-site, or you can pay with a tithing slip.

For those who weren’t at church Sunday, Amy Felix’s mom, Bishops Mother-in-law, passed away Saturday morning. Some of you expressed a desire to go to the funeral. A viewing will be held at the Mortuary (300 West and Center Street) on Thursday evening from 6:00-8:00 and again of Friday morning before the funeral at the Mortuary. The Funeral will be Friday at 12:00 at the Cedar 9th Ward which is on 900 West across from the South side of the SUU Football Stadium. If you want to go up but want to go up with someone else give me a call and we can arrange something. My numbers are: Home 346-5956 Cell 435-229-1368.
Remember them in your prayers and to give Amy a hug and let her know you love her. (I’m sorry- does that sound a little motherly? It’s what I needed to hear so I guess everyone else needs it too)
Love to you all
Janet

Dear Sisters,
Here’s just a few things for you to think about before Sunday.
· On April 10th the Stake will be doing the annual Humanitarian Aid Project. Anyone who wants to donate can do that by filling out a Tithing/donation slip. On the “Other” line you just write in Stake RS Project.

· Are there any sisters who will make quilt tops to donate for that day. Sis. Olsen has some donated fabric that can be used to make them if anyone is interested.

· Would anyone like to participate in a class on making quilt tops given by Sis Margaret Judkins. This class would be held once a month and would last about 6 months.

· Janell has a bunch of chicken she and her daughters are going to bottle. If anyone would like to learn how she will let us know when she’s going to bottle and you can go over and learn.

· We would like to have an activity in February on gardening- what to plant, how to plant and then organize to help each other plant either in the community garden or in your back yard. Anyone interested? Let us know.

· Call Tara at 346-5131 if you are interested in joining a literacy circle (book club?).

· Don’t forget your surveys. If you lost it I can send you a new one by e-mail or we’ll have more Sunday.

We need to know who would be interested in planting fruit trees or bushes this spring. January and February are the best times for planting trees. We’ll send around sign-ups if there’s any interest. E-mail me back or you could comment on the blog which would be even better,
I think that’s it for now

See you Sunday!
