Backpacks

With September arriving shortly we are able to reap the benefits of "Back To School Sales"!

In September our Enrichment Committee will be helping you to gather supplies for your72 hr kits! With this in mind and sales in the air...start scouting for backpacks to hold your 72 hr kits.

We have been searching, and found that Walgreens is having a sale on backpacks 2 for $9.99.

Keep searching the ads and let us know what you find!

Beat the Heat!

Things are changing in Mesquite! The hot weather is here and our little bodies are starting to melt into puddles of sweat. Many of are dear ladies have left us for a cooler climate and yet we persevere acclimatizing year after year to the scorching heat. Our sisters who were born and raised here say you become so used to the heat that you don't even feel it. Do we believe them??? Give us 20 more years and then we will be ready to respond!

As sisters in Zion we can overcome! How will we deal with the hot days of a Mesquite Summer you might ask??? We can beat the heat by having so much fun we forget to complain!

Let's Begin!

Park Days.............
Tammy Bingham is working on a new schedule for Park Days. We will be alternating between the Stake Center Cultural Hall, the Bunkerville Water Park and the Mesquite Water Park. Calendars will be coming soon!

Come Learn or Teach!
The Mesquite 1st Ward is sewing up aprons!!!
When: Tuesday May 5, 2009
Where: Stake Center
Time: 6:30 pm

Come to Enrichment Night and we will help you make a really cute apron (or several).

Later in the year, we will be compiling our own recipe book. The apron and a copy of the recipe book would make an adorable and useful gift.
Inexpensive too!

Bring your sewing machine and a pair of scissors if you have them. If you know how to sew, come on out and lend a hand.

You'll need 1 yard of your favorite fabric plus 3/4 of a yard of an accent color for each apron. 3 packages of rick-rack for trim and/or 2 yards of 1 1/4" grosgrain ribbon (for the ties) are optional.

Quilting

Just a friendly reminder for everyone to meet at the Stake Center Tuesday April 21 @ 6:30 pm for a great night of quilting. Please attend and join in our efforts to contribute to the Stake Humanitarian Project.

A "Marvelous" Enrichment Night

Attention Mesquite 1st Ward...... A huge shout out to Marianne Johnstone for arranging our special book club night with John & Amy Simmons! Everyone who was there had a great time and enjoyed not only the wonderful author but the yummy treats.
