Box at Market/Newspaper Article

Great news!  Terry is graciously allowing us to place a box near the entrance at Valley Market to collect items for Zimbabwe.  He'll provide the box tomorrow (Saturday, the 28th) and I'll place some signage there for people to see and it'll be ready to go.

Also,  watch for an article in the next edition of the Ogden Valley News.  It will be an overview of the project with a list of needed items.  If you have specific ideas for the next two or three editions of the paper, please let me know or contact the gals at the newspaper.

     It's been a whirlwind since our last meeting.  Reeve, Lolly and CC are in town!  This is just to give you final details about our fireside on Sunday night.  It will begin at 7:00 in the white Eden building.  The bishops and Relief Society presidents have all been invited but reminders never hurt!  It will be so great!  Thanks Whitney for doing the musical number!  For those of you that missed the meeting, we are excited for the opportunity to gather books for school libraries in the bush of Africa.   We are asking that you put the books in boxes and label them with your Ward name.  This will be delivered to a little school and have your ward name on it as being the donor and will be their whole library!  Pretty fun.  I am also so excited that we can put our name and email contact information on the missionary bags - how fun to hear where your clothing will be serving!  Just a reminder that donations (over $250) can be made out to Deseret International a registered NGO, with Eyes for Zimbabwe written on the bottom.   They will cash the checks, send you a receipt for taxes, and then send us the money to use for the project.  Also, Huntsville 2nd ward is looking for cotton fabric to sew dresses if you have any call Sharon Wangsgard @ 745-3423.  Becca, could you put a little information about what Desiree talked about on this blog?  Thanks.  Let me know if you have any questions!  I appreciate all your help!  Sue

     Thank you Cori for posting all those things!  This is to let you know we are going to meet on Thursday, July 19th as scheduled.  It will be held at the bunkhouse at 7:00 pm.  the bunkhouse is next to my house on 3141 North River Drive, Eden.  (The first house on the right off of Highway 162 going north.  We have a beam entry and a long driveway down.)  Please bring any ideas you have, any samples or patterns, whatever you have that you think can help all of us!  I am so excited for all you are doing!!!  I will call you to remind any who may not get this message.
     The next thing we are SO EXCITED about is that Reeve, Lolly, and CC have been approved to give a fireside on July 29th at 7:00 at the Eden Building!!!  It will be so great and they will be able to answer any questions you might have!  They are darling and so fun and motivating!  We are inviting of course, all of you on the committee and any who you have helping you, the bishoprics and the relief society presidencies.  I think you could let anyone come you think.  We will talk more about this on Thursday night.
     Thanks so much for your enthusiasm, I truly believe in the Spirit of this great cause.  Hopefully it will unite our wards and stake with another common goal.

The clip at the end of this video segment is about the containers that were sent last year from Utah.  The segment begins six minutes and 45 seconds into the video.  Simply click and drag the time marker beneath the video to 6:45.  As Sue mentioned in her email, it would be a good one to show to the different organizations in the ward.
