Service Project help needed!

On June 25th is a Multi-Stake Youth Conference. This year our Stake is hosting it. For their service project activity, they are putting together School Kits and Hygiene Kits. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints delivers these kits to people all over the world as needed. Here is more information about these services:

Due to the recent increase of natural disasters, their supplies are being depleted. We have been asked to help provide the supplies and the youth will put these kits together. Each ward has been asked to provide a minimum of 30 of each type of kit. There are boxes in the lobby of the church to put these items in.

School Kits

o Unsharpened pencils
o Pencil Sharpeners
o Blunt nosed scissors with metal blades
o Rubber pencil erasers
o Straight edge rulers
o Box of pre-sharpened or unsharpened assorted colored pencils (about 12 pencils to a box)
o Notebook paper in packages or spiral-bound notebooks or letter size legal pads


Hygiene Kits

o Unbreakable combs (no sharp handles
o 4 Toothbrushes (packaged)
o Tubes of toothpaste (6-8oz, no pumps)
o Bars of soap
o Hand towels (approx 15” x 25”)

Fitness Follow-up

We had a great activity on Saturday learning about Yoga and Nutrition. Alisha Rose taught us a beginnger-intermediate routine using a variety of Yoga poses. Then Michelle Clevinger taught us some basic knowledge of nutrition and why we need Proteins, Carbohydrates and Fats in our diet. She recommended the following websites for more information:

www.fitday.com- tracking your nutrition
www.livestrong.com- use the DAILY PLATE to track your calories and macronutrients.
www.freetrainers.com - gives free weight training work outs weekly for your body and goals

Thank you to everyone who helped make this activity possible, and for all those who attended!

Pita tutorial and bread recipes...

Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com

The bread party was fun and yummy! Here are some of the recipes/handouts from it... use the pita recipe below to follow along w/ the tutorial above.

There is more to come in the future...

(and one minor change on a recipe below... the crackers (I uploaded the document before editing it) call for 1 1/2 c. wheat flour and 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour.
I always put in only 1 1/4 c. of each of the flours... then there is no extra flour and the consistency is just right.)

Bon Appetit!
