Summer Stuff Swap

We're having another stuff swap this Saturday, the 22, from 10am-12pm. This is a great way to make more room in your apartment and/or get some great free stuff. We hope to see you there.

New Ward Blogs

Hi everyone! I wanted to draw your attention to 2 new links on the right side of the page below the list of family blogs. These should be a fun way to share food storage/emergency prep information and recipes with each other. The recipe swap blog is replacing the recipe swaps we used to have. If you're interested in contributing contact Kate Mackay at katherine(dot)marie(dot)mackay(at)gmail(dot)com. She can send you the username and password. For those of you who aren't blog savvy or would prefer something quick you can just email her the entry/recipe and she'll post it on the blog for you.

Stuff Swap

Hey everybody! The Stuff Swap is today (Tuesday, 4/21) from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. in the B-basement. It's a great chance for those who are moving, streamlining, or looking for fun finds!

Daylight Savings Time

Tomorrow Daylight Savings Time begins!
So set your clock forward one hour. This means one less hour of sleep.
See you at church!

Sunday August 31st

This Sunday there are a few changes to our regular meeting. Because Stake conference is the first Sunday in September, this next Sunday will be fast Sunday. Also it is our first week with the new schedule. Sacrament meeting starts at 2pm.

July Jumpstart 2- Tomorrow

At 8pm tomorrow in the B-basement, we'll be making baby headbands sort of like the one to the right. Cute, huh?

If you haven't had a chance to get the supplies you need, don't worry about it. I have some extra supplies that I won't be using, so come even if you haven't had time to shop. See you there!

New Teachings For Our Times Lessons

Since the Teaching for our Times lessons have now moved over to the most recent conference talks, the bookmark is now outdated. The literacy committee will be working on a new bookmark shortly. Until then, the schedule for these lessons will be posted here on the blog (to your right).

Summer English Classes

English classes are changing up for the Summer. They will still be on Wednesday nights in the B Basement at 8:30, but instead of every week, they will be every other week. So we will be having English class on this Wednesday (May 21) but not the following Wednesday (May 28), we will be having it on June 4, but not on the 11th, and so on, until further notice. As always, everyone is welcome!

Update on Book Review

Since things have slowed down over the Summer, we have decided to cancel the book reviews for the Summer or at least until further notice. Please continue to enrich your lives by reading good literature in your families and on your own if you find the time. If you have any questions about this or need an idea for a good book, call Diane Estrada 378-5226.

English Classes

"Where's everybody?"
(These guys are sad because they wish
more people would come to the English classes)

English Class is every Wednesday night (except the last Wednesday, that's the book review) at 8:30 in the B basement. EVERYONE is welcome! We have a nice group come every week to learn about English Idioms and other fun things about our crazy language. It's good to see so many familiar faces every week. It also would be nice to see some new faces too. Please come and join the fun!

May Book Review: Pride and Prejudice

Our new book for May is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. If you need a copy we will be handing them out on Sunday. Also you can contact Jen Bailey (apartment #88) who can give you a copy. The book review for this book will be the last Wednesday of the month. (May 28) The book is even better than the movie, so good luck and happy reading!!

Also if you don't have time to read it, you can listen to it by getting a Provo Library card and setting up an online account with their e-audio books. It's very handy! You can do the dishes while you listen! (If you have questions about this, call Diane Estrada 801.669.1601 or 378.5226)

Announcement: Book Review - Little Women

Book Review will be April 30 at 7:30, at Diane Estrada's house (#102). We will be reviewing the book Little Women, having treats, and even watching a clip from the movie. It's going to be a lot of fun! Come even if you didn't read the book, or haven't finished it yet, or have only seen the movie; we would love to have all of you there. It's a good break from the normal routine of everyday life. There will be no English class that day, so ESL sisters should feel free to come join us as well.

Cake Decorating by Jenn

Thanks to Jenn A., we learned how to decorate cakes last week! We are grateful to Jenn for sharing her talent, and also for sacrificing a lot of time and butter to make the sample cake and frosting! Here are some photos from the event:
