There is a baptism coming up this Saturday...actually THREE Baptisms: Chris and Ericka Mugford will be baptized at 5:00 and Alex Bouse's baptism is at 7:00, so come show your support to them and the missionaries. These are three REALLY GREAT PEOPLE!

If you have items for me to add to my "SUMMER FUN" handout, please let me know so I can get those printed and distributed. I have made these lists for the past few years which contain ideas of free or almost free things to do in the area this summer.

If you have information of upcoming events you would like listed on the blog, please let me know.

Thanks!

Additional Relief Society Activity (Formerly Known as Enrichment)

We will be having an Additional Relief Society Activity on Tuesday May 18th from 6:30-8:00 p.m. We realize this is the same night as Kickapoo's Graduation, but hope that many of you will still be able to attend. Our meeting will be focusing on two subjects: Gardening and Home Organization. We will be welcoming Sister Sue Rone to teach us Gardening Tips, and Sister Maria Eckersley from www.meckmom.com for tips on getting our homes organized. A light refreshment will be provided as well as childcare. We will also have a drawing for a couple of door prizes! So, bring your friends, bring your sisters that you visit-teach, bring a carload of people, JUST BE THERE!! For more information, please contact me, Amber Chapman at 886-5839. Thanks.
