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.

Karen's monthly goals were fabulous! My favorite month was when she challenged us to update or create 72 hour packs for family night.
In my family, each person was in charge of updating their own pack. We took out the old canned foods and replaced them with lightweight freeze dried foods pouches, (freeing up about 10 lbs just in canned foods) Updated the first aid kits, added new clothes, attached a sleeping bag to each pack, small book of mormon, small water filters, candy, and tons of survival tools. This gave me such great piece of mind in knowing we could grab these bags, and be perfectly safe for 3 days.
I was very grateful for this challenge, because even though we had our 72 packs, most of our food was expired & heavy and all the clothes no longer fit each child.
Thanks Karen!
Thank you Sister Moon for all of your help. This is the most I have ever learned about Preparedness. Wow!
