Announcements...

1. The following families have be assigned to clean the church tonight at 6:00. Shumway, DuMoulin, Roylance, Owen, Matt Smith, Belliston, Cordner, Ewer.

2. Scripture Study class tomorrow (tues) 9:00 at Shalmarie Bunker's. Please join us. This is a low stress, low pressure group! We are on lesson 37 in the Old Testament Manual or Isaiah 1-6. (Don't worry all of us are intimidated by Isaiah- or if you are NOT then please enlighten the rest of us!). Hope to see you there.

3. We also need those of you that did flowers at our Relief Society Meeting to get your money to Krista Smith. If you are paying by check please make it out to Highland 21st Ward. Please do this ASAP so we can get Daisy reimbursed. Thanks!

4. As a RS we are excited about the opportunity to use our group buying power for discounts on grain and other food storage products. We will be closing the order on October 13th (night before fall school break). The products should arrive mid November. Attached you will see the large Walton Feed catalog offerings. You can expect 10% discount on everything offered. This is a great opportunity to buy grinders and Bosch mixers and accessories too--make Christmas easy for your husbands! You can refer to their website for pictures or more detailed product descriptions (Waltonfeed.com).

FYI: Most all the products offered at the LDS Family Home Storage Centers will be a better price, so we will also do a group order from the cannery later on. I will attach a link so you will be able to see what the cannery provides and the price list. Also, if you can find products you are satisfied with, such as bread flour at Costco, it will probably be a better price. Walton Feed does have name-brand, high quality products that Costco doesn't always have such as SAF yeast and Rumford baking powder. Items like 25# sugar bags seem to be better priced during local grocery store sales.

We need to reach a certain weight to get the group discount, so friends and family are also invited to order with us. Please include their orders to your own. I will send out an order form template soon. Ginger Harris

Attached is a template to order the Walton Feed Food Storage Order. These prices will be better than what you are seeing advertised at local stores food storage sales (think Bosch store and Macey's) with a few exceptions, like sugar. The sooner the better, so we know if we will be able to get the maximum discounts. If we are unable to meet the amounts, we can still do the order, but not receive the 10% off. In order to get the discount, we will have to do some of the work ourselves, such as helping unload the truck, etc. If you are not willing to help out, but still want the items you may order through Alpinefoodstorage.com or providentliving.com for the same items but not 10% off. If you are willing, but not able, we can work something out.

There is also an opportunity to order reusable hand warmers for $1.99 (maybe less if we get enough interest). Please order this from me separately also by the 13th. We will have the hand warmers before Halloween, so you can test them out on your trick-or-treaters. They are originally about $8, so this will be a good time to buy them for 72 hour kits. They come in a hard state. You boil them to make them gel-like, then store them for use. When you want to use them, you snap and massage them. They last for a few hours, but must be reboiled between uses. You can print out the hand warmer order form and bring a check to me made out to Emergency Essentials by October 13th. This price is for one, so if you want one in each glove, you will need to order two.

See the hand warmers at: http://beprepared.com/product.asp?pn=CW%20W500&sid=INEM883&EID=S1010&lm=emer&bhcd2=1285944556


We hope you have a great week!
Love,
The Relief Society Presidency
