TODAY—Ward Choir practice at Bob and RobbiAnn Sorensen’s home at 1:30 pm. Pres. Rogers asked the 11th ward choir to sing at the Saturday night session of Stake Conference, Aug 20th. Today’s practice is the one time to prepare to sing a choir favorite, “Saints Behold How Great Jehovah”. Youth choir members are invited to sing at the meeting and will be able to leave right after we sing. (probably by 7:15 pm) It’s never too late to join the ward choir!!

There is a 15 year old boy from Mexico who is looking for a family who would be willing to host him for 4 months. He would like to go to school here for one semester. If anyone is interested, contact Sunday Horman for more details. 801 318-7493.
**************Humanitarian News**************
School Bag Project ends September 1st. Thank you for responding so well to our school bag project. We especially appreciate (Karen’s daughter) Shannon Smith’s sewing a lot of our bags—the red ones—so please give her a big thank you when you see her! We have another 15 or so bags that need to be filled and now is the time since items are low-priced! Remember, when these are filled, we won’t be sewing any more bags. Please give them to Marta D., Marta V. or Mary Jane (as Connie will be out of town) before September 1st.
Our next project is Hygiene Kits. Please take a hand-out that is in the RS notebooks. Read it carefully and turn in COMPLETED KITS only! Label the bags with masking tape and your name. Since this is a family project, we will send around a sign-up sheet for the estimated number of kits your family plans to donate by the end of October. We have set a minimum goal of 500 from our ward. (That’s just a dent in a disaster.) Questions? Call Mary Jane, 801 796-7449. Again, we thank you for your helping hands!
FYI: If you donate money under humanitarian aid on the tithing slip, it automatically goes to church headquarters in Salt Lake. Some have thought the money remained in our ward. Not so. Just so you know.
STAKE CHOIR PRACTICE, for Stake Conference (August 21st), will be held
* Sunday evening, August 14th, 7:00 to 8:00 pm, Stake Center
*Sunday morning, August 21st, 8:00 to 9:00 am, Stake Center
