Happy Independence Day!

It's a scorcher out there. Please be sure you are staying cool and hydrated.

I cannot adequately express the gratitude the RS presidency has for all of you who have helped with all of the service we have had these last few weeks. June was certainly a busy month for us. But one thing we have noticed is that when we serve each other the love in our Circle of Sisters grows and grows. Thank you so much.

Pilar R's self-reliance mini class will be held next Wednesday, July 10th, 6 pm. The class will be on hair cutting. Invite your friends.

This week's lesson from "Daughters in My Kingdom" will also include some discussion abut the Special Broadcast "The Work of Salvation." If you have not already done so, please watch the broadcast.

If you've worked on your Personal Progress, don't forget to contact Christine S. She will be doing drawings for those working towards this goal.

   Due to the success of last year's Point of Light program for girls camp, we ave been asked by the Stake Young Women to provide dinner to the young women of the ward the final night at camp, Friday, July 19th. We will be sending around a sign up sheet on the 30th for dishes that will need to be prepared. If you would like to help prepare part of the meal please be sure to sign up. We will be feeding close to 40 or more young women and leaders from our ward and will need a lot of help.

    Don't forget to check out the Summer Activities  list for ideas of things to do when the kids are BORED.

    Youth camps are just around the corner but some of the youth still have money they need to earn to pay for their camp. Please consider hiring one of the young men or young women to do odd jobs around the house to help them with this goal. For ideas of which youth need work, contact a youth leader.
