Save the Date

August 11th is the day we will be compiling our 72 hour kit food supply ziploc baggies. These one gallon bags will hold a limited 3 day supply of food. If you have not signed up yet, but would like to, please check the Relief Society rolls. The cost is $10.00 per baggie.

We need to have everyone's money in by the 8th of August. Please make checks payable to Katie Sillman.

I feel impressed to share with you again the urgency the Stake feels on this matter. Last night our power went out. It was only out for 2 hours, but within those 2 hours I had a lot of time to think. I took great comfort in knowing exactly where my 72 hour kit was, and knowing that if I needed to I could just grab it on my way out the door with my kids. Our power outage was in no way comparable to a true emergency, but it made me realize that anything could happen. Anything could happen at any time. Am I really prepared?

The Stake wants every member to have a 72 hour kit by the end of the year. Our goal as a ward is to have our kits done by October's General Conference. If something were to happen, how prepared are you?
