YW Combined Cooking Project for Thursday


picture courtesy of Right@Home 

Ok, so after talking about Columbia River's Recipe
Binder idea. We're going to put it into effect this
Thursday, November 5th, 09 at 7pm.

Just bring yourself and get ready to have a great
time as we put together these awesome Holiday
Zucchini Bread Mixes that you can either keep
or give as a gift to that special someone.

You'll also receive a recipe page to insert into
your recipe binder after our combined activity.

Click here to get the recipe if you'd like to try
it at home with your family.

*******************************************
These were the following ideas that were 
presented at the last Welfare meeting and I just
love the ideas they had going. 


.:::$1,000.00 worth of food from the Bishop's Store:::.
house is available to use for humanitarian projects 
that you might want to use for a Secret Santa Project
for families, retirement homes, foster care facilites
and more. 


.:::The Columbia River Ward's YW compiles a binder
full of yummy recipes:::. 
These recipes are compiled of recipe cards that are 
given to each young woman each time there is a cooking
activity. So by the time each girl leaves YW she'll have 
a binder full of recipes that she's already tried cooking 
and have tasted, ready to take with her to college, 
work, etc.

Last Night's Young Women Activity

Last night turned out wonderful, thanks to Kathleen
for introducing the girls to healthy eating habits, 
healthy food and staying within the Word of Wisdom
Guidelines. 


Yolanda and I were not able to make it. But, Lani 
said that it turned out well and the girls loved their
homemade salsa that they created in the ward 
kitchen. The no bake cookies were also hit with 
the girls. 


Good Job, Kathleen & Lani:)

Youth Fireside 9/27 Be Thou An Example

Be Thou An Example
Our fireside last night was our first ever for 
our youth and it was a wonderful one. Our
Rose City 1st youth were great in conducting
it and I can just say that I'm so proud of them.


Our Guest speakers were, Christi Lott - Our 
Stake Young Women's First Counselor & 
Second Guest Speaker was Sione Aisea. 
He is our young men first counselor. 


We felt the spirit with both speakers and
throughout the fireside. 


Our Young Women President, Lani Iongi
was unfortunately not present and was 
working. But was happy to hear from 
our reports that everything turned out just
fine. 


Thanks so much to all you youth that 
were there helping, participating and more. 
We couldn't have done this without you 
all. 


Much ofas & God Bless,
