Letter from Trudy........Update on donations to the jail

Hi Tami,

I guess Floyd heard some incorrect information on the donations for scriptures for the women's branch at the jail. Only money can be accepted, because they are a certain kind that has been approved by the administrators. Some have wanted to include a written testimony and have it be a family project. Unfortunately, these will not be allowed. We can not even give out returned copies because of any writing with intended or non-intended messages they may contain. Hope this can be cleared up. I wouldn't want people who donated to be disappointed. Money (checks) can only be accepted by sending it to the branch presidency. We will try to get some donation envelopes for anyone who needs one.

President A Gregory Brown

Also on another note: Some sisters have asked about yarn. This needs to be certain colors and certain brands. This is because more than one sister may work on a blanket and they need to be laundered before we donate them to Primary Children's Hospital. The content may be unknown, so a blanket with different colors may partly shrink, leaving it un-useable. These are the specifications:

Brand Red Heart Super Saver

Type Worsted Medium (4) Net Wt 7 0z

Colors 0724 Baby Pink, 0381 Light Blue, 0311 White, 0345 Baby Print, 0322 Pale Yellow

Or one other is the BERNAT brand Baby Sport Color: B#MP230 Mint.

The Yarn described above is usually available at Wal-Mart, Jo-Ann Fabric and other Craft Stores( Roberts, Michaels etc,)

Maybe this information can be included on our Relief Society Web page so our sisters can refer to it if needed. (absolutely, perfect place for it!!)

Thanks for all you do, Love, Trudy Nielsen

Thought you'd like to know:

· Julie Larson used to be a math teacher

· Carolyn Reed taught Spanish

· Meisha Allred was on the Children’s Friend cover for April 1979

Do you know something interesting about a friend or neighbor that we would all love to know? Do tell, we'd be happy to share!! It's so fun to get to know each other better :)

Sending Condolences....

Judy Richins' father passed away Sunday evening at the ripe age of 91, given one more month he would have been 92. A rich and full life if you ask Judy. As the founder of Layton Construction the monuments to his life are all around us. His company along with two others built the Conference Center and afterward they had the privilege of working on the Nauvoo Temple as well, he was the contractor for the Harold B. Lee Library along with other buildings on BYU's campus. His last big project before he retired was the Jordan River Temple. Even with all these credits to his name and to his continuing company, his greatest success is found in Judy and her brothers and sisters and the love of his wife who has been by his side for 60+ years.

Watch for the obituary in the Deseret News on Thursday. Our love is with you Judy!

See You There!!

(hey - there will be refreshments, don't miss out!!)

Welcome Little One!!

She's Here! Peytan Herbert joined her very excited family on Tuesday, Nov. 27! She is 7 lbs 10 oz and is a perfectly wonderful little bundle of pink! Baby & Mom are doing well - congratulations to the Herbert family!!

News Flash!!

Two of Lori Russell's foster children are being baptised this Sunday! Just how great is that?!? We know that you may not know them well but you absolutely need to know them. Jordan Marsh is 14, we would love the young men to get involved (the young women will probably naturally be involved-he's cute) and Drevon is 8 so that involves all the primary kids. C.J. is 6 and is looking forward to the time he gets to be baptised too.

The baptism will be at 5:00 p.m.- right after church and we would like everyone to come. They will love being part of a big ward family and to see just how much we care.

If any of you girls have a great cookie or brownie recipe and want to show your talents or if you just want to make the good standbys please call Jeanna Bruse and volunteer for a warm feeling and blessings.

Thanks for all you are! Your adoring Relief Society

Baby Boy Bitner!

There is a new Bitner in the world! Just when you thought the family could not get any better they added one more. Little Noah arrived last Thursday at 8 lbs. 8 ozs. and is 21 inches long. He is already saying "I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD" ...or was that just his eyes talking.

Mary and Noah came home yesterday and they are doing great. So send them love through the mail, the phone, from your computer, at the doorstep, through concentrated I love you thoughts, or by bended knee. All of the above will be Bitnerly bonding.

Silver Chains for Temple Crystals

In case not everyone has heard....we have some really beautiful chains available to us at wholesale prices that look great with the temple crystals. If you are interested in looking at them and possibly ordering, there are some samples at Tami Cutler's home. Please call her before you stop by. (572-4572 or 599-5071) After Thursday of this week, the samples will be at Jeanette Pixton's home. (619-7099 or 891-9024) We are trying to finalize the order by this Friday. Also, if you did not order crystals already and would like some, we are placing another order. The turnaround time is about 2 weeks. If you have any questions, feel free to call Jeanette Pixton.

UPDATE on Lunch!!

Draper Park lunch moved to Thursday! (this was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but the weather is bad). We would love to have anyone(children too) that can come Thursday meet at Draper Park, at 12:00 pm. Please bring your sack lunch! If weather is bad on Thursday we will reschedule for another time.

(any questions, or to check on any cancellations - contact Meisha @ 816-0699)

New Recipes!!

Have you noticed?
Have you checked?
Do you know where to find them??

Scroll on down...down a little more - right there! In the right hand column, there is a listing of CC2 blogs! Now, some of them are active (the Scouts), some not so much (the YM)....but there is another treasure....the Recipe Blog!!

In lieu of attempting another ward cookbook, we are attempting to create a gathering place that is freely accessible by all where we can find our most sought after recipes. I have been adding some of the ones I have from past "recipe exchange" events, and eventually I will have the rest of those on there :)....also, there are a few salsa recipes that Marcela was kind enough to share with us from Salsa Night - and most recently there is Shirley's delicious Apple Butternut Squash Soup recipe from Terrific Tuesday!!

I know - isn't it great?? Now the next time you want one of those yummy ward recipes, you won't have to go digging through your piles of paper (oh come on, it can't just be me!! ;)....) you can just log on and find it (hint - use the "labels" to click and narrow your search!). Handy, right?

Know what else would be great?? If you shared some more recipes with all of us! I know there has been many requests for the rest of the soup recipes from Terrific Tuesday - so if you brought a soup, then share! :) It's super easy - just email it to me (ammlamb@hotmail.com) and I will get it Right On There!

Thanks!!

Young Women in Excellence.....

....is tomorrow night (Sunday, 10/11) at 6:30 in our chapel. Parents are invited and Kenneth Cope will be the guest speaker. We are asking that each of the young women bring a small item for our display table that shows something interesting about them. We would appreciate it if the young women could bring their items to church so we can set up the display table before 6:30.

DATES: September 24 - November 19

Note from Tami.......

Last week that man of mine was just hankering for zucchini bread and guess who never got the zucchini going in the spring? Spaghetti squash bread simply didn’t seem to come up in the google attempt, neither did radish or broccoli bread. What’s a girl to do? She gets herself down to Rasumussen Farms and buys and I did say buys zucchini. The bread turned out to be fabulously tasty if I do say so myself but where are the days of zucchini and run. It was the game we played every fall where I grew up and I think I really miss it.

How about it girls are you in? Let’s play a round of vegetable Duck, Duck, Goose. Stand where you are, put your right arm up and pledge to never and I mean never pay for zucchini again. This is how it will be played. We will all put vine ripening vegetables on the blog and hear us now, only the great stuff that will go to waste because your family has put a ban on the 7 course tomato meals, you are too pooped to bottle, can or freeze more, or you are hoping that the patch will be taken over by vegetable fairies that will leave love in place of the look of labor on the vine.

Simply post your over abundance and see what miracles can occur. If you don’t have a garden, watch for your favorites to appear on this very screen and then cease the moment and hug a friend – you might offer her a slice of zucchini bread. Believe me she will think that she is the fortunate one.

Thanks girls!!!!!!!!!!! Oh how we love ya

Book Group

Parking Lot Break-in

Just a word of warning once again--
Another car was broken into on Sunday during the temple dedication at our Stake Center. The car window was shattered and a purse was stolen with several valuables. The police said that there are also numerous break-ins during wedding receptions and funerals because most women don't want to carry their purses in with them. Unfortunately, we've seen it happen in our own ward during church and Enrichment meetings. For your protection please keep your valuables with you or if they must remain in the car, make sure they are out of sight or in your trunk. This isn't an effort to raise fear but to be better protected.

Yard Sale

The Friends of Heidi Albiston (Tammy Nash's Sister) will be holding a YARD SALE for Heidi's family, in order to raise money to help with the costs incurred, while Heidi has fought brain cancer over the past 16 months. Her family has drained most of their resources and would be so grateful with any items, that you would be willing to contribute to the YARD SALE, such as (toys, clothes, etc) that you normally would donate to Deseret Industries anyway. The money raised from your donated items will go to a very worthy cause. The YARD SALE will be held Saturday, September 12th, at 700 East 9500 South in Sandy. If you have items that you are willing to donate please call Tammy Nash at 801-572-0844 and we will gladly make arrangements to pick them up from you at your home. Anything that we don't sell at the YARD SALE will be donated to Deseret Industries located on 700 East and 9300 South near the Sandy Mall.Thanks in advance for your generosity!!
Sincerely, Tammy and Glen Nash

I wanted to let you know that I taught a strength training class in 3rd ward at our building(Steeple Chase) at 6am Tuesday and Thursdays. I plan to start the classes again Sept 15th. My plan is to include 2nd and 3rd wards in our building (stake center).Anyone choosing to join us will need 1-5lb hand weights and a yoga mat.I do legs on Tuesdays and arms on Thursdays. Stretching and Abs both days. 3rd ward is really excited to get going again. Also, If anyone has suggestions on different times - I am open, I want to use the time that works best for the majority. If there were enough that wanted a night class - I could do 2 different classes.
PS - I also have two glass bowls still at my house, left from all the yummy food - 1 is clear and the other is green with design.my # is 244-5502 if anyone has questions or just come and get them.
Thanks
Rachel Neeley

Quilt help needed.......

For our Ward Humanitarian efforts, we have some material and batting for one more quilt that still needs to be sewn. If you are willing to sew this quilt, please call Nancee Arnovick at 801-201-1059 and she will deliver the material and batting to you.

Watch for more information on our upcoming quilting parties. We have more quilts to tie! Couldn’t be a better way to get to know each other than around a quilting frame. The help you sisters have given towards this quilting project is very much appreciated. Thank you for all you do!

My daughter, Angie, has an account with "True Religion" jeans. She will be at my house, 13487 South 1100 East next Tues. August 18 from 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. She has many styles and sizes. They are for teens (boys and girls) and women. Perhaps everyone already is aware of their popularity. She is selling them for $50 (a real savings). They have really caught on in Utah County.

Temple Tips.........

* There will no longer be 6am endowment or initiatory sessions in the Draper Temple. The first sessions will begin at 7am. Baptism schedules remain the same.

* Please wear your Sunday best when attending the temple.

* When participating in baptisms at the temple, please refrain from wearing bronzing creams, temporary hair coloring, or other products which could wash off. These products create staining. Would you also pass this information on to your youth? Thank you!

Guess what? I've added a bunch of recipes to our little CC2 Recipe Blog!
I'm working on adding all the recipes that I have collected at our recipe exchanges and cooking classes.....there are a LOT! :) So....some are in, more still to come!

Yay! Ok - send in more recipes, though - let's all help make this a great resource!

Draper Temple Baptistry

Just a reminder of the church policy that when endowed adults come to the baptistry, they may not use temple-file names to be baptized and confirmed. Un-endowed youth from our temple district are always welcome to use temple-file names, but when endowed adults come to participate in the baptistry ordinances, they must bring family-file names with them. This includes the brethren who accompany youth groups as well if they wish to be baptized.
Also a reminder that youth groups need to wear church clothing and come in the baptistry entrance when filling their reservations.

Thanks for all your hard work,

Brother and Sister Morgan
Draper Temple Baptistry

There will be a complimentary packet of handouts and syllabus from each class given to all attendees. You can attend one class or as many as you would like. Everyone has worked really hard to make this a memorable event to help create an interest in our community for tracing one's ancestry. The online pre-registration ends Wed. May 13th but it would be ok to just show up to the class or classes Saturday also as there may still be seats available. For LDS members, this is a good missionary opportunity to invite neighbors and friends as many people are interested in their ancestry and how to get going on it. Thousands of records are being posted online every day making it much easier to find and link our families. Bonnie Whitley will be teaching a 45 minute class at 1:30 p.m. on jumpstarting your family history and tips for finding your family records using Salt Lake City's Libary Catalog.

Young Adults

We welcome many of our young adult sisters home for the summer. We realize some are home temporarily, some are coming and going, and some will stay put until fall! Since it worked so well last summer, we invite mothers of young adult aged daughters to involve them in their visiting teaching once again. You can do one visit or more with your daughter and the rest with your partner. Please discuss this with your VT partners and your daughters to establish what will work best. We will start this month and continue through August. Mothers, we'd ask you and your partners to again act as your daughter's visiting teachers. You know their schedules best and may like the excuse to make an appointment to visit with them!

Spencer and Heather have moved

For those who may not know, Spencer and Heather Richins have moved their sweet family to St. George. Spencer has taken a great job there so the family has headed to a sunnier clime. Fortunately, we'll still get to see them when they come here to visit their families! We're so grateful for their loving examples and influence during their time in the ward. We wish them much happiness in their new venture.

Josiah Douglas is doing well

Josiah Douglas is home now and recuperating well from hip replacement surgery. He and Linda were visiting family in Idaho when he fell from a ladder and broke his hip. He had surgery that very night. They returned home yesterday. Bro. Douglas was told he is in very good physical condition and has the body of a much younger man. He will heal well because of it. Good motivation for us all to stay as physically active as Bro. Douglas! We wish him a speedy recovery.

Tiffany Varney is coming home!

The good news is....Tiffany Varney is coming home on Tuesday, May 12! Here is a request from Patty. They are busy preparing things at home for Tiffany's arrival.

Temple Service Opportunity

There is a great opportunity to serve in the temple during the day for a couple of hours once a month. If anyone is interested contact Jolynn Skousen for details.

FYI - Hollee Mackay

Hollee Mackay is going in for Knee Surgury tomorrow in Hong Kong. She has a torn ACL they will be fixing. It would be nice to keep her in our prayers.

New Resource!!

You asked - and we heard!

We have such wonderful cooks in our ward, and we are always asking for a copy of this recipe or that recipe. Well - search no more!

We now have a CC2 Recipe Blog! This will be a Great Place to consolidate and store all those much requested recipes, and this way - we can all get a copy! (Just look over on the sidebar, and you will see a link you can click on to visit the recipe blog!)

All we need you to do is make sure that when someone says, "Yum - I would love a copy of that recipe!" - or even if you just have one you Know we would all want! - forward it to us!

Then we can get it posted, and we can all know right where to find it!

Happy Cooking!

Save the date.....May 14th @ 6:30 pm

Please mark your calendars for our upcoming activity in May. We will be privileged to hear from the "Utah Famous" Matt Townsend! He is a national speaker and relationship expert who empowers people and organizations to succeed by teaching them fundamental skills of positive and effective communication and productive relationships. Through entertainment and HUMOR, he teaches life-changing principles and skills to increase success and productivity. He can be heard every Saturday at 11:00 am, hosting his radio program "The Matt Townsend Show", on KSL News Radio. He is also a frequent visitor on "Studio 5". He is working on a new book that will be released soon, "Feeding the Starved Relationship". We are very fortunate that he is willing to come and speak to our ward, and we hope that you will all make an extra effort to come, and bring your friends, sisters, neighbors, or anyone else you think could benefit. It is sure to be an amazing night, and you can't pass up yummy desserts too! We will begin at 6:30 in the RS room. Look forward to seeing you there!

A Shared Experience....

I keep thinking about a sweet experience I had in the temple yesterday and wanted to share it with the Sisters.......

A young man around 13 came alone early yesterday morning to do work in the baptistry. Sometime later a woman came to the baptistry recommend desk. She was looking for her son. She said he was autistic and was missing. She said he had come to the temple 3 times before--walking 5 miles to get there. She wondered if he had returned to the temple once again. The brother at the recommend desk asked her if she had a recommend. She said no, "but my son is really helping me feel that I want one." Sure enough, he was there. He had walked alone those many miles to come to the Lord's house to perform sacred ordinances.
