July 22nd Playgroup.

CHANGE!!!! The below activity has been canceled for this week. There were already huge amounts of kids scheduled to go to the Lied Discovery Museum...so it will be rescheduled for August. Instead this week, Playgroup will be meeting at Acacia Park on Las Palmas Entrada at 10:00 am.
Any questions contact Judy Bounds.

Note from Judy Bounds on Next Weeks Playgroup!

So next wed. we are going to the Lied discovery museum, the admission cost is $8 for adults and $7 for kids ages 1-17, but if we get a group of 12 together then we can get in for a dollar off. The cost would then be $7 for adults and $6 for kids. The only thing is that we all have to go in together, only one payment can be made to the museum so I would put it on my debit card and everyone interested would need to bring cash to pay me back. If you arrive after the group goes in then you would have to pay full price. This is not a big deal for some who are only paying for themselves and one kid, but I have to pay for myself and 4 kids so every little discount helps. If you are interested in getting the group rate please email me back as soon as possible. I have to call and reserve the date and time, and we have to listen to a brief orientation by a staff member before we can explore the museum. So let me know if you are interested. Thanks!Judy


July 22 - Lied Discovery Museum - 833 Las Vegas Boulevard North, Las Vegas, 89101. If you have not been yet this is a children's science museum, where they have lots of hands on exhibits for kids of all ages, it is pretty big and takes a couple of hours to cover, so I thought we should meet at 10am and stay till at least 12pm. The museum admission price is $8 for adults and $7 for kids age 1-17 only kids under 1 are free. My kids always have a lot of fun, though it is a little pricey. Don't feel obligated to come, if you can't make it that is totally fine. You can also bring a sack lunch, they have an eating area with a few tables and chairs, then you can stay after lunch. It is up to you.

Come Support Vanessa!

Vanessa Fulcher is getting baptized Saturday July 11th at 9:00Am at the Palora Chapel. Come show your support to Vanessa!!!! This is such an exciting step for Vanessa...Congratulations!!

Christmas in July!

Don't forget that Saturday July 11th is our Christmas in July. We will be having a Waffle Bar and making crafts. 10:00 AM at the Viking Chapel. Come make the craft you singed up for, a craft of your own, or no crafts at all! If you have any questions, give Lynette a call at 376-4578.

Week 3 Food Storage.

2 1/2 bld peanut butter
1 bottle multiple vitamins.

Week 2: Food Storage.

This week on the list:

5 boxes macaroni and cheese, 4 cans tomato soup.

Remember to suit it for your needs. Also, this is for every (2) people in your home so increase as needed.

Also, be increasing your water storage. Pres. Hastings has stressed that this is by far the biggest concern. As often as possible, add a case of water or some other form of water storage to your Food Supply.

June 24th Play Group.

A group of moms will be meeting at Acacai Park (Gibson & Las Palmas Entrada) on wednesday the 24th at 10:00am. Be sure to bring your suits and plan on getting wet. This park has a great Splash Pad. If the weather is bad, they will be meeting at Brenda Edgel's home!

Food Storage.

As we have been counseled and counseled...we REALLY need to be dilligently working on our food storage. The Bishop again is strongly encouraging EVERYONE to have Food Storage. We recently had an activity and talked about this. Melanie Davis presented a 52 week plan that each of us can follow~ No matter our circumstances. Each week I will post the items on the list. Feel free to adapt them to your family and needs. The idea is to spend $(for each 2 people in your family) a week on items to add to your storage. Some weeks you will spend a little less and some weeks a little mroe. Any left over money should be put in "Petty Cash". Some weeks will be putting your whole $5 into "Petty Cash".
If anyone finds great "Stock~Up" sales or has great ideas that you do with your food storage...PLEASE share with the rest of us!

Week 1:
2 cans Tuna fish, 2 containers salt, 1lb yeast
(an example of tailoring to your needs....Melanie bought 2 cans of Tuna, 1 container salt and 6 packages Ramen Noodles...her left over money went to "Petty Cash")
