Free Tree Stakes or Firewood

"I have a lot of free tree stakes (maybe 200) made of oak that can be used as garden stakes or firewood. They are about ¾” x ¾” and the longest is about 5 feet long. Most of the stakes have been broken and are of shorter lengths. Let me know if you are interested.

BYU TV Special

Just wanted to share that our very own Olga Campora, is mentioned in this BYU TV rebroadcast by sister Winder, a former RS General President.

To view the video clip go here: http://byutv.org/watch/175-1507 It's a great watch and titled "We are Doing something Extraordinary."

Go to about minute 9 if you want to hear about Olga, and a little of her history. :)

Activity Days Help, Fabric, Sewing Machines needed.

We're hoping to make simple skirts in activity days over the next month as part of a lesson on modesty and also to learn about sewing. If anyone has any fabric, elastic, or ribbon that they would like to donate that would be great. More importantly though, we will need to borrow some sewing machines. The dates we would need them would most likely be June 9th and 23rd (Activity days is 7-8:15 at the church). We may be ready to start sewing on May 26th, but I'm thinking we'll need at least that evening to take measurements and cut fabric.

If you can help out with any of these, or want to come help out the girls those nights, just talk to Meg Ricks. Thanks!

If you know of anyone, have them contact sister Olga Campora.

Also, we are in need of children's door gates for the same purposes.

If you are spring-cleaning and happen to have toys or children's gate's you are clearing out, we'd greatly appreciate these. Please email a member of the RS Presidency or bring them on Sunday or to one of our other meetings. (or email: col2rs@gmail.com )
