Emergency Preparedness Goals

As a Relief Society Presidency, we feel it is really important for the sisters to work on their emergency prepardness plans and supplies. We received from the Stake Relief Society Presidency a booklet containing 1 year's worth of goals. By the end of December 2009 you will have 1 years food storage. The information is broken down month to month. Some goals are pretty lofty and we suggest you do just whatever you can for each month. As long as you're working towards a goal you're doing the right thing!

We have made copies for each sister in the ward and will be handing them out starting Thursday night (72 hr kit activity). We'll also be posting it each month on this blog. We're a little late on the January- so sorry!
