June Activity

Pillow Case Service Activity

June 21, 2012  7:00 p.m. 

For this month's activity we are going to be sewing pillow cases that will then be taken to the Ronald McDonald House. This is a great service that we can provide. Please take this opportunity to serve others. All we need is 1 yard of fabric to make each case. So please bring any fabric you have (precut) or sewing machines. If you are not that into sewing, come anyways and visit and get to know the sisters in our ward.

January's Activity

Welcome Back!

After having a nice break from activities during the holidays, we are excited to start this new year with lots of great activities planned.

This month we are having a fun game night to get us all out of the house and have some fun with our sisters. We are asking that everyone invite the sisters on their Visiting Teaching lists and especially encourage those less active to attend. This will be a great way to get to know everyone without any pressure.

So please come and and have fantastic time!

Thursday January 19th, 2012 7:00pm at the Lemmon Valley building.

We will also have quilts set up for those that are not big game players or that would like to help get some quilts done.

Well I hope that gives you some information. I apologize that there are not prices for everything. Please keep checking back, as I will update the prices as soon as we have them. If you would like to let me know that you are interested in one or some of the crafts leave a comment and I can put you on the sign up sheet.

Payment can be given to me (Kinsey Zinser) before or the day of Super Saturday.

Thank you all for your participation. Please invite your friends and make sure the sisters you visit teach know about it as well.

Also, we will have a nursery for those of us that need to bring our kids. We are asking that we rotate and take a turn in the nursery so that no one is in there all day. Just an hour. Two adults at a time. So if you would like to volunteer or have teenage children that would be willing to take an hour we would appreciate it greatly. Thank you in advance.

Feel free to ask any questions!

My email is kinseydahl{at}yahoo{dot}com if you need to contact me.

Little Late...

This is a little late, but I just wanted to say thank you to Evan Zinser and Lindsay Albrecht for hosting our Photography Activity. I think those that attended were able to learn some new things about their cameras and learn a few techniques for taking better photos.

Thank you to all those that attended. We appreciate your support and hope that you enjoyed the activity.

Don't forget that Super Saturday is coming up. The sign up sheets for the crafts will be going around soon. Thanks for your patience.

Reminder

Everyone remember to come to the activity this month.

September 15th at 7:00

we will be having a photography lesson. Evan Zinser and Lindsay Albrecht will be teaching us to use more than just Auto on our cameras. We all want to able to take great pictures to preserve memories for the future generations. Please come and participate and get to know the other sisters in our ward.

The Finalists

After voting, three of the potential crafts got eliminated. The Decorated Gift Bags, the Muffin Tin Advent, and the Emergency Candle Holder received 0 or 1 vote so we are going to cross those off the list.

This next week I am going to be starting to make displays and gathering prices for all the crafts that were chosen. If you are willing to be in charge of one of the crafts, please let me know. I am also looking for individuals that would be willing to teach a small 10-20 minute class on Super Saturday. It can be about anything. It doesn't have to be craft related. We are thinking of having a few of these throughout the day, to take a break from the crafting and learn new things. Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas.

Another item of business, we are doing a couple crafts that require sewing machines, so we are looking for anyone that would be willing to bring their machine to be used that day.

Thanks again for all your input and ideas. I am really looking forward to Super Saturday and I hope you all are as well!

Thank You!

I just want to give a HUGE thank you to Stephanie Black and Yvonne Mann for planning and presenting at our Organization activity. And thanks to all those who attended and participated. There were many wonderful ideas about how to organize our homes and lives.

D&C 88:119 says, "Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God."

Stephanie also mentioned that anyone interested in getting help from her to get on the path to organization that she would love to assist you.

Thanks again and we look forward to another great turn out for the next activity, which happens to be on September 15th. Evan Zinser and Lindsay Albrecht will be teaching us all how to use our cameras and get the best photos. What better way to preserve our legacy for generations to come than through photos! Please mark your calendars and plan to attend.
