Important! P r o v i d e n t L i v i n g

Food Kit Orders! What a great time to rotate your 72-hr Emergency Food!

With Spring Break approaching, be sure to go online here and purchase these right away or mail Christine a check as we won't be able to purchase your food without payment. Kits are $10 each. Final collection date April 11th. (Thanks for understanding). See the attachment above to verify if your payment has been received.

KnowWhat2Do This coming Provident Living Night promises to be both informative and fun! While we could personally provide you with text book information on how to be prepared, our speaker, Kathy Elskamp, has lived it! Prepare yourself for a wonderful evening Tuesday, April 13th and bring a friend. For more information go to the Carnton Relief Society Blog and click on Carnton Ward Provident Living.

You can order as many as you need by going to the website where you will see the Bucket Garden Container heading in the left hand column of the homepage or mail Christine a check (Garden Containers are $13.60 each.)
