need specific times of when you would like to workout and what you
want to do.

Some ideas are:
Running group(stollers are welcome)
Step aerobics
Weight training. With small weights of course

Let me soon so we can get started

Help Needed!

Brother & Sister Lindberg are asking for our help in serving the people in the Ward where they are serving their mission.  These people essentially have nothing more than lightweight clothing, so anything that ward members have that they would be willing to donate will be very much appreciated.  The sizes listed are what we received, so I hope it all makes sense.  Please call me if you have any questions about anything.  - Denise Lindberg

Sad News....

Vervene Allen died last Thursday and the funeral will be tomorrow (Monday 9/27). She is the older lady that lived on 13400 S.  The one that Jane Brinton looked in on all the time.  Many of the ward members that have been here awhile will remember her because she was in the ward before it was split. - Tami

Looking for a Book...

The Book Club is wondering if anyone has a copy of "The Help" for the ward bookclub to borrow and read?  The wait at the library is too long.  If you do, please contact Jane Brinton because she is the coordinator. (801.571.1802)

Thanks!!

A Big Thanks....and a little request...

Dear Sisters,

There are a couple of reasons we are writing this letter. 

We first want to express thanks and gratitude for all of the love and support that we have received throughout this flood ordeal.  We are truly grateful for the great friends that surround us.  

Second, we would like to ask another favor on behalf of our families.  We have recently learned that Draper City is immune to any legal action taken against it for losses on flood waters.  Our intent has never been to pursue legal action but without any back end recourse, we feel that the possibility of the city fulfilling the claim is low.  We also want to see the park fixed so this doesn't happen again.  Therefore, we are asking anyone who witnessed the event on June 10, 2009 or August 19, 2010 or has otherwise strong feelings for the park to be fixed or has witnessed the damages to our homes, to write a letter or email and send it to the city.  

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support.  Please send a copy to all the addresses below and please cc jolynnskousen@yahoo.com (we would love to have them on file for our records.)

Warm Regards

Skousen and Mark families

September Humanitarian Project!

Our September Relief Society Humanitarian project will be held on Tuesday, September 21^st at 4 pm at the church. We will be making Dresses for Africa!  Emily Ashby has come up with this lovely idea, which should be a ton of fun. I’ve attached a link:

Little Dress For Africa Organization   as well as the  tutorial for the dresses that Emily created for you to view and see just what we’ll be making.  Please review the link and the tutorial if you are interested in attending the “club” meeting to aid in the efforts of Africa! We would love to see you there.

Please email Nancee Arnovick at arnovick1696@msn.com if you planning to attend. You will need to bring pillow cases that can be made into the dresses and ribbon for the dresses.   If you have any questions, you can call Nancee Arnovick or Emily Ashby.

Thanks and we hope to see you there!
