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!

1. ****IMPORTANT**** Sisters, many of you had questions regarding the temple pictures we are making in Sept. If you would like to special order a temple you will need to contact this lady directly, keliblain@hotmail.com she is the photographer that Poppy Seed Projects uses. You would work with her directly in getting the print. The Salt lake Temple is a double
sided print. So one side will be vertical, the other landscape so you can decide that night on which way you would like to do it. The money for the Temple pictures needs to be turned in no later than Sunday, Sept, 12th. I need to take a check to the lady on Monday the 13th. If your money is not turned into Krista by Sunday your print WILL NOT be ordered. Please make a check out to the ward, mark "other" $50.00 and give it to a member of the Relief Society Presidency by SUNDAY night.
We need to clarify the ordering process for the temple pictures. If you signed up on Sunday, you are fine, you just need to get us the money by Sunday. If you weren't able to sign up on Sunday, and are interested, either reply to this email with what picture, or pictures you want, and then get your money to one of the members of the presidency by Sunday. Due to Regional Conference, there won't be an opportunity to sign up during church. Let us know if you have any other questions.

More wisdom from Marie Ricks...
School is starting soon, and I don't know how to juggle school/homework/piano/friends/chores effectively. My kids go to a different school than the one in the neighborhood. They get up at about 6:45 a.m. to be to school by 8 a.m. and then they don't get home until about 3:30 in the afternoon. They have enough time in the morning to make their beds and clear their dishes, and then I don't want to make them do chores as soon as they get home from school because I feel like they have been working hard at school all day. I also don't want to wake them up earlier because they are small and really do need the sleep.
Also, I need help getting ready for the next morning, backpacks, shoes, clothes, lunches, show and tell, shower/bath, etc..It just seems like there is not enough time to do all of these things and prepare dinner, and eat dinner, spend time with dad... How can I balance all of these things through out the coming school year?
Let’s tackle each need separately. I agree with your chore load and scheduling for your children’s mornings. However, when are you going to have them do chores at night? What chores will they do? It is important for all children to have both morning (in this case they make their beds and clear their dishes) and evening chores. Will they do these evening chores before they can eat dinner? Or, will they help with the dinner dishes? Or, do you have other needs in the home where they can help? Just remember, everyone needs to help consistently in some small way. This is part of building a work ethic in children. (Yes, I know they will complain for almost the whole twenty years they will live in your house as children and then spend the rest of their life thanking you for having had to do chores while they were growing up.)
Now to school morning routines. You will need three elements: Make it easier to get dress, help them be independent in the kitchen, and keep their school items all in one place. I have written an article about this on my new web page. See new.houseoforder.com/2010/02/better-school-morning-routines/.
Finally, my best advice about dinner is to prepare it as much as possible before lunch. It will make all the difference in your mood and capacities as the day wears on. Many mothers who have tried this new routine have been grateful for the improvement.
Take care now, Sister M
