December's Humanitarian Service Project
Hi, Sisters!
For our Humanitarian service project this Christmas season, we’re excited to help the Head Start program in St. George. Head Start is free part-time preschool for low-income families in Washington County. There are 11 sessions county-wide with 18 children age 3-4 in each class. There are only 2 teachers for each session, so an extra pair of hands is always welcome for helping with an art project or reading a story. We’re asking for volunteers to come for about an hour during the week of December 3-6. If you have a good Christmas book to read to them, they’d love it! A sign up sheet will be coming around.
There is also a great need for warm clothing and quilts for these children and their families. If you have any items that are in good condition that you would like to donate to them, please bring them to our Relief Society Christmas Social on Dec. 13th. We will have a place to gather them at Christina Benson’s home, and then we will deliver them to Head Start, where they will be distributed to families in need. Thanks so much for your help with this worthwhile cause! For any questions call Patty Foote at 668-5324.

She will have bags for us and we will label what they are and the baking instructions that night, so remember what degrees and how long your cookies need to cook. Also, bring an extra dozen cooked for us to eat that night! We should be able to come home with a great variety to have on hand during the holidays.

October's Book of the Month
Hey ladies!
We have a great book coming up for the month of October. It's An Invisible Thread: The true story of an 11-Year-Old Panhandler, a Busy Sales Executive, and an Unlikely Meeting with Destiny, by Laura Schroff. Book Group will be held Wednesday, October 10, at 7:00pm. The meeting place is to be determined. If you are unable to get the book read, please join us anyway!

An Invisible Thread tells of the life-long friendship between a busy sales executive and a disadvantaged young boy, and how both of their lives were changed by what began as one small gesture of kindness.
When Laura Schroff brushed by a young panhandler on a New York City corner one rainy afternoon, something made her stop and turn back. She took the boy to lunch at the McDonald’s across the street that day. And she continued to go back, again and again for the next four years until both their lives had changed dramatically. Nearly thirty years later, that young boy, Maurice, is married and has his own family. Now he works to change the lives of disadvantaged kids, just like the boy he used to be.
An Invisible Thread is the true story of the bond between a harried sales executive and an eleven-year-old boy who seemed destined for a life of poverty. It is the heartwarming story of a friendship that has spanned three decades and brought meaning to an over-scheduled professional and hope to a hungry and desperate boy living on the streets.

Book Group Reminder
Just a reminder about Book Group coming up next Wednesday, September 12 @ 7:00pm at Elizabeth Adam's home (click on the link for a map of her address). The book for August/September is The Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand. Can't wait to see you there!
On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane’s bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.
The lieutenant’s name was Louis Zamperini. In boyhood, he’d been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile. But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.
Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.

A tiny girl is abandoned on a ship headed for Australia in 1913. She arrives completely alone with nothing but a small suitcase containing a few clothes and a single book—a beautiful volume of fairy tales. She is taken in by the dockmaster and his wife and raised as their own. On her twenty-fi rst birthday, they tell her the truth, and with her sense of self shattered and very little to go on, "Nell" sets out to trace her real identity. Her quest leads her to Blackhurst Manor on the Cornish coast and the secrets of the doomed Mountrachet family. But it is not until her granddaughter, Cassandra, takes up the search after Nell’s death that all the pieces of the puzzle are assembled. A spellbinding tale of mystery and self-discovery, The Forgotten Garden will take hold of your imagination and never let go.

April Book Group
For April we will be reading The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.
Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor black tobacco farmer whose cells—taken without her knowledge in 1951—became one of the most important tools in medicine, vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, in vitro fertilization, and more. Henrietta’s cells have been bought and sold by the billions, yet she remains virtually unknown, and her family can’t afford health insurance.
Soon to be made into an HBO movie by Oprah Winfrey and Alan Ball, this New York Times bestseller takes readers on an extraordinary journey, from the “colored” ward of Johns Hopkins Hospital in the 1950s to stark white laboratories with freezers filled with HeLa cells, from Henrietta’s small, dying hometown of Clover, Virginia, to East Baltimore today, where her children and grandchildren live and struggle with the legacy of her cells. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks tells a riveting story of the collision between ethics, race, and medicine; of scientific discovery and faith healing; and of a daughter consumed with questions about the mother she never knew. It’s a story inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we’re made of.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks Named by more than 60 critics as one of the best books of 2010
“Above all it is a human story of redemption for a family, torn by loss, and for a writer with a vision that would not let go.”—BOSTON GLOBE

March Book Group
March 14, 7:00 pm at Janis Curran’s home. (2137 Stone Canyon Cir) “The Book Thief” will be the book for March, and continue reading “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” for April.
It’s just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . . .
Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.
This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.

Humanitarian Project
For the next few weeks we will be collecting used jewelry for the Dove Center. They have a program where they take the jewelry, repair it if needed, and sell it at places where they might have a booth where they can share with people the various services that are available through their facility. This helps spread community awareness, and the money from the jewelry sales goes to help women in need. Please bring any jewelry you don't use anymore to Relief Society, where we'll have a basket to collect it through the month of March. Thanks for your support!

February Book Group
Book group will be Wednesday, February 8th at Mary Ann Young's house. We are reading Team Of Rivals by Doris Kerns Goodwin. Books are available at the library as well as the audio version.
Acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Lincoln's political genius in this highly original work, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president.
This brilliant multiple biography and New York Times bestseller is centered on Lincoln's mastery of men and how it shaped the most significant presidency in the nation's history.
Doris Kearns Goodwin won the Pulitzer Prize in history for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II, which was a bestseller in hardcover and trade paper. She is also the author of the bestsellers Wait Till Next Year, The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys, and Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream. Ms. Goodwin lectures around the world, and is often called upon by the media to comment upon and analyze presidential issues. She lives in Concord, Massachusetts, with her husband Richard Goodwin.
Daughters in My Kingdom Challenge
We want to challenge the sisters to read the" Daughters in my Kingdom" that was giving to you by next month in preparation of the Relief Society Birthday in March. It is such a beautiful book and Sister Beck, our general RS president wanted every sister in the church to have one. The First Presidency has encouraged us to "study this book and allow its timeless truths and inspiring example to influence our lives." As Relief Society sisters we are part of a wonderful heritage.
