Gardener's Grow Box

The Gardener's Grow-Box

For those of you who want to grow a vegie garden, now is the time to get working on it. Outside it is time to till, fertalize, and get your soil ready. Inside, it's time to start your seedlings. Because of our very warm weather here, we need to plant our tomatoes, squash, peppers, and other summer crops in late February- early March. You probaly won't be able to find starts in the big box stores until the rest of the country is ready to plant. By then, it's too late and you miss a lot of good growing time. Seeds need to sprout in soil that is 75 - 90 degrees. So just putting them on the kitchen counter is not warm enough. Keep them warm and moist and give them sun to get them ready to go outside! Questions? Call Pres. Morris or your favorite gardener.

Pres. Message - A New Start for a New Year

Hi Sisters! Here we are at the beginning of a new year. We have some changes, as you can see. We are going a little high tech to help keep you informed about what's going on and help us connect with one another. We have some goals for the year and also want to let you know about changes to the old "Enrichment" program and how that will effect what we do.

First of all, as we are an ever growing ward, the need for us to get to know one another is a constant thing. Our Presidency take the opportunity to get to know each new girl by visiting her in her home. It has been a wonderful blessing! You, on the other hand, usually don't do that.

So, here's the challenge for everyone. Step outside of your comfort zone and go introduce yourself to a new face. Be the first to sit by soneone who is sitting alone, learn a new name every week. Now, many of our girls are tied up in Primary or Young Womens and most of you have little families and rush to and fro before and after. That's one reason why we have extra activities during the week. Come to them! Connect with the sisters! We have wonderful women in our ward of all ages and backgrounds. Some have lived here forever, others are brand new transplants and we all have something we can learn from each other.

OK, now for the changes in Enrichment. These are changes that the General Relief Society leaders gave us at the fall Women's Conference '09 and have been training us on.
* First of all, it is no longer called Enrichment. It is called what ever it is: a R.S. dinner, a workshop, a meeting, a class, etc.
* Some things we have done will no longer be sponsored by the Relief Society. To follow the guidelines we have been given by our Prophet, we will no longer have "Lunch Bunch", "Book & Movie Group", "Wild Bunch for Lunch", or "Empty Nesters". That is not to say you cannot go out to lunch or to a movie with your friends. We just cannot do it as a Relief Society activity.
* Often we will have multiple things going on at one activity so you can find something that suits your interests and needs. Because of tight budgets we will always have something you can do that is free. And of course there will always be visiting!
* We will still try hard to offer things you need, that build testimonies, develop skills, that strengthen you in your marraige, your family, your home, and provide service opportunities.
* We will meet monthly for larger get togethers but still have small things on a regular basis, too.
Really, it's not that different from what we were already doing. We were very close to "inline" with what our purpose and objectives are.

We are excited about the comming year and all the oportunities it offers! Pres. Morris
