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!
