Holidays and Such

A last minute reminder for Book Group tomorrow, Wednesday, November 20th at 7pm at Janis Curran's House. Her address is 2137 Stone Canyon Circle. We will be discussing "Killing Kennedy" by Bill O'Reilly! Come join us and talk about the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination. 

There is definitely some great things coming up in December and we are so excited. The ward Christmas Party will be Monday, December 9th at the Church. Also the Relief Society Dinner and Program will be so fantastic this year. We will be celebrating all of the women in Christ's life and of course Him. Come and enjoy an amazing meal and night with the sisters. The night will be Wednesday, December 11th at 6:30pm. It will be held at the Crimson Ridge Building. 

If you missed it...Here are some pictures from the last activity. We had a great time sharing experiences about Visiting Teaching while taking "flight." Sorry I didn't get pictures with everyone there. I promise lots of people showed up. We had a great time!

          • Set Parental Controls on ALL electronic devices
          • Know what they download - books, music, movies, apps, etc....
          • Restrict times & places (in the open with people around) that kids can use the electronic devices
          • Place computers in public area
          • Take electronic device away at night - have the charging station next to Mom & Dad
          • If they want to find it, they will..... therefore, above all, EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN
