MARK YOUR CALENDARS

We have plenty of wonderful activities to look forward to this month so don't forget to mark those calendars!!

Friday, September 21st  -  WARD TALENT SHOW

Come and share your talents (you know you have them) with the ward.  You can perform or display items that showcase your individual, family or group talent. 
Make sure to talk this over with your Primary kids as well because the sign ups will be going around in Primary this Sunday!
More information on this fun family event coming soon!



 
Saturday, September 22nd  -  SUPER SATURDAY

All young women and Relief Society sisters are invited to come and get their craft on. 
We have lots of fun projects to try this year.  The items as well as the sign up sheets are on display on Sundays outside of the Relief Society Room. 
Even if you don't want to make an item please feel free to come and sit in and see how it is done.  We also have a free class on creating your own homemade facials that promises to be very cool so come and enjoy that.
Super Saturday will be a "potluck" this year.  We will not be doing a full meal just any yummy sides, treats, dips, etc that you would like to bring to share. 
A children's class will be available so don't let the lack of a babysitter keep you from coming and sharing in the fun.
This is a great way to get a jump on those Christmas gifts and learn some new crafting ideas. 

This years crafts are as follows:

·       “Homemade Facials” class  (learn to make a facial that meets your own specific needs) -    FREE

·       Button Stringing Bracelet (There is NO SEWING required on the bracelet so it couldn't bee more simple for anyone to create.  fun for anyone to wear and so cute for those littler ladies in your life.) -    $1.50

·       Miscellaneous Button  Bracelet (This is Sewn but so simple.  If you can sew on a button you are already half way there on this project.  This is a very cool bracelet that is the perfect match for almost ANY outfit! This does take some time to complete so keep that in mind.  If you plan to make many crafts this year you may want to limit the number of these you sign up to make unless you plan to complete some at home.) -    $2.00
