SOS!!!

In April Lois Park opened her home to the sisters for a
Preparedness Activity.
Joyce Morton, our Stake Cannery & Preparedness Specialist, gave a demonstration in making SOS (Soup or Sauce) Mixes.

This is the recipe, made from basic home storage:

She also shared with us a basic biscuit mix recipe, then prepared and served chicken ala king. Each sister went home with a recipe booklet, a sample bag of the mixes, and an appetite for more. Best of all, we're step closer to being self-reliant!

Colleen Larson, Georgene Duke, Lois Park, Ewa Sundwall, & Annette Lambson look over the variety of recipe possibilities with a few simple ingredients.

Catherine Findlay, Wendy Killpack, Peggy Long, & Denise Stoddard anxiously await a taste test!

LOVE ONE ANOTHER - Birthday Social 2008

In March of 2008 an impressive group of sisters gathered together
to celebrate the birthday of the Relief Society.
Desiring to bring about a spirit of sisterhood, our Enrichment Leader, Lois Park,
and her committee planned an evening of enlightenment and spirituality around the theme of
LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
The evening began in the Relief Society Room where we were privileged to hear from our keynote speaker, Carol Warburton. Musical numbers were sung by Betty Moosman and Linda Anderson. Sheryl Coe gathered the sisters together for a group photo shoot.
The cultural hall was beautifully decorated with statues and portraits of Christ, enhanced by the subdued lighting from lamps.
The tables were set in pink and mauve tones with hand-crocheted doilies made by Rene'e Combs. At the end of the evening one sister from each table was privileged to take the doily home, and each was given a small statue of the Savior, representing his arms encircled about each of us in love.
