June- Keeping It Simple, Part II

 

June RS Activity- Keeping it Simple

We met in the Relief Society room to learn about personalizing our 72 hour kits and storage in small spaces. 

Patty Donohoe shared an experience she had in a 'Nor Easter while living on Cape Cod.  Our 72 hour kits or go bags should include the basic necessities to get us though a catastrophic event until additional help arrives.  

 

Jolene Parker from the Sun River 1st Ward demonstrates what emergency items she carries with her everywhere she goes.  

How did she get all of that in one purse?  

Elder L. Tom Perry said:

'The need for preparation is abundantly clear. 

 The great blessing of being prepared gives us freedom from fear'.

72 kits may still be available to purchase from Sue Olson.   

Below is what is included in each kit. 

The centerpieces were provided by the activities committee members.  So many great ideas of items to be included in our go bags. 

A lunch including taco salad, strawberry and watermelon skewers, and brownies was served.  

Here is the recipe for the Taco Salad provided by Susan Blower

1 pound hamburger, browned and drained- let cool

1 head of lettuce, chopped

2-3 tomatoes, diced

1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 can sliced olives (optional)

2 cups shredded cheese

1 bag Doritos chips- crushed

1 bottle or can of green sauce

Sauce- 1 cup mayo, 1 cup sour cream

Mix mayo, sour cream, and green sauce- set aside

Mix hamburger, tomatoes, kidney beans, olives, and cheese.  

Add sauce and chips and lettuce before serving. 

Makes a large salad. 

Have you checked out our ward bulletin board?  

Judy Bowden does a great job providing us with information regarding our ward.  Birthdays for the month are posted, special dates to remember, our Sunday schedule, the newsletter, as well as copies of the weekly email that is sent out, and more. 

Thank you for your cute bulletin boards Judy! 

Go Forward- with faith

Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God. 

Ether 12:4
