September 2011 Preparedness

Preparedness for September:  We begin another year with our preparedness program.  We will be putting information in the Relief Society Blog each month and Sarah will also publish the handout information from the binders received last year.   

We invite and encourage all of you to participate by sharing your success stories from your hard work this past year.  We've heard from many of you that you have been working hard. When we share what we have been able to accomplish it helps motivate some of us who need a little extra encouragement.  You can share by clicking on the comments field following the Preparedness article each month. If you have ideas that could help we welcome them as well.  

     

This month, September, we encourage everyone to clean out their food storage areas and pay attention to expiration dates.  Rotate the food so the oldest dates can be used first.  We also encourage everyone to keep striving to save money to be used for emergency and preparedness.  Have a great month.  And we are eager to hear your comments.
