A dryer to give away

I have an older model Kitchen Aid Clothes Dryer to give away to anyone who would like to take it. I have no idea of the year (it was left in with the house when it was purchased), but it DOES work. It is clean and has been well taken care of. I’ve away on Monday when the new one comes, unless we have a taker.

Annual Meetinghouse Clean-Up Day

Annual Meetinghouse Clean-Up Day

Brother and Sisters, As many of you know, Saturday (November 6) is the stake center clean up day. We will start at 8am and work until our area is finished. We will have the blue section on the attached document. We have both inside and outside responsibilities. Please bring rakes, tarps, gloves, brooms. etc. for leaf removal and parking lot clean up. It also might be good to bring general cleaning supplies (sponges, scrubber, etc) because I don't know what will be available at the building. We invite all to participate. This is a great chance to show the Lord our gratitude for such a nice building to worship and have activities in. It is also a great opportunity to work side by side with our ward family. We love you all and hope to see you on Saturday. Remember, many hand make lighter work. Thank you for your service, Mike Blasko

We have a family in need of...

Bring Used Kids Clothes to Church for Donation

FOR CHILDREN IN PERU

Sister Aracelli Flores from the Spanish Branch, is going to go to visit her homeland in Peru in January 2011, and she has asked sisters in our ward who have any extra children clothing to consider to donate some of them for children in Peru. If you feel like you might have clothing to donate, here is more detail from Sister Flores:

I will be collecting clothes for both BOYS and GIRLS, ages 0 to 7. It will be a summertime in January, so summer clothes would work best. Shoes may be too heavy and take up too much space, but we will do our best to fit in what we can.

The place of collection will be by the kitchen at Church in a big box labeled "FOR CHILDREN IN PERU".

Jacket found!

Saturday someone left a Nautica dark blue fleece jacket
size Medium at the Spagnolos when they were helping them load up the
moving truck. Contact Nadine Edgeworth.

Welcome!

Welcome to Barbra Sanchez and Charleene Clay! We are glad to have you in our Relief Society!

Women's Group

Hi everyone,

This Wednesday looks like it's going to be the warmest day this week. Let's plan on meeting at Rockburn Park at 10 am. I'll send out an email on Tuesday night to cancel if the chance of thunder storms increases. Also, since Halloween is on Sunday I was thinking it would be fun to dress the kids in their costumes to get more use out of them. I'll bring a camera and take some pictures, too :)

See you Wednesday!

Melissa Riley

Candlelight Vigil

Dear Sisters,

There will be a candlelight vigil at 6pm this Tuesday.

This is the first time our county has had a domestic violence awareness candlelight vigil; part of the reason why they are having one now is because of Shane Wynn's death. Either Greg Isaac (the father of Shane's two oldest children) or I (Sarah Ann Cox) will be speaking for about two minutes at some point during the vigil. The Domestic Violence Center is connected to the Grassroots Women's shelter, which (for those of you who used to be in Savage Mill, like me) we used to make sack lunches for now and again.

Here are the details:

DVC Candlelight Vigil 2010
Tuesday, October 26th
6:00-7:00 p.m.
Howard County Library's East Columbia Branch
6600 Cradlerock Way, 21045

Sponsored by the Domestic Violence Center of Howard County

To bring awareness about the prevalence of domestic violence in Howard County and to hear from survivors as well as their families, friends and advocates who support them.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Do you have these items for GIVE AWAY?

We have a family that is in a need of a vacuum cleaner, a large pot for cooking and towels. If you happen to have any of these items in a good condition and for a give away, please, contact our Compassionate Service Leader, Sister Marilee Clay at jim.mer.clay@gmail.com and let her know. Thank you!

Giveaway: Boxes and Packing Paper

Sister Brower has TONS of moving boxes and packing paper if anyone needs them. Contact her if interested.

November Activity

RS Breast Cancer Awareness Night

On Wednesday November 10, beginning promptly at 7:00PM we will be having a breast cancer awareness night and service project. All are invited to learn about Chey Brower's cancer journey and to understand how to do a breast self exam. We will also learn about the latest technologies for cancer detection and treatment methods. Additionally, we will be sewing shoulder pillows and drainage bags for donating to a breast care nurse to distribute to ladies after they have had mastectomy and/or lymph node surgery. If you have any kind or color of fabric to donate, please bring it on Sunday to Sis. Brower. We also need 6 sewing machines and scissors/thread on the night. Email col2RS@gmail.com if you have a machine you would be willing to lend us. Our goal is to sew at least 30 bags and 30 pillows to bless the lives of 30 women!

Playgroup

It looks like rain again on Thursday and Friday! What luck! However, the chance of rain on Friday is lower so we can try to meet at Rockburn Park at 10 am. If it's soaking outside/still raining on Friday morning let's plan to go to the Columbia Mall's play place instead at 10 am (right in front of JCPenny's). There's no school on Friday and the Columbia mall's play space has an age limit to it (not sure what it is!). If anyone knows of a place that's better suited for older kids, let me know! Otherwise, we'll pray for good weather and use Columbia Mall as a back-up.
See you Friday at 10!

All Women are welcome to attend! If you have questions contact Melissa Riley.

Sister Tess Connell has a 2 bed/2 bath condo for rent. If you know anyone who is interested, please contact sister Connell.
