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.

February Cooking Group

February crept up on us so fast that we didn't get the cooking group posted before it was here, but we had a wonderful night at Ann Staples house.  She did an amazing job teaching us all how to eat healthier.  She gave us so much information and we will be posting it here soon so watch for that.  She has lots of links and recipes to give us.  Thanks Ann for all your hard work and sleepless nights :)
