Primary Children's Hospital Donations

Hi, ladies!

I wanted to let you know that the cute baskets from our Six 'S' Night were delivered to Primary Children's Hospital a few weeks ago. We ended up with tons of fun supplies to fill these baskets, so besides the two that we put together that night, I was able to fill another huge basket with all of the crayons, markers, stickers, coloring books, etc. that all of you lovely ladies were so kind to donate.

I had my kids help put the last basket together, and our family went together for family night to drop off the baskets at the hospital. It was awesome to be able to involve my kids in that, and it was extra meaningful to me because I had stayed at Primary Children's for about a week when I was five years old. It was really cool to go back there again (even though so much has changed)!

The people at Primary Children's were very grateful for the donations, and I didn't fill out their form to receive a thank-you card, but I wanted to let you know that they were so happy to get the supplies and I know there are lots of little children there who will really appreciate them as well. Thanks again to all of you for your generosity - I loved being able to be a part of that project.

Have a wonderful week!

email account hacked

Today I discovered through a coworker that emails were sent out using my email contact list claiming that I am stranded in London and need money. I did not send those emails and who ever hacked into my account deleted my contact list and any sent/recieved emails I had so that I couldnt contact anyone to warn people this was happening. I am very sorry to any one who got one of those emails. I am sorry if any of you suffer any problems as a result of whoever hacked my account. I hope that there will not be any one else who has a problem from that email scam. I have changed all my passwords to try to prevent it from happening again, but have lost all my contact info to send appologies to everyone in my contct list. I asked Lonnie Cluff to send out a email telling everyone not to open those emails and to delete them so that those of you who didnt already open them could delete them before you open them. I am so very sorry for this mess and send my appologies to everyone who got one of those emails. Thanks-Teri Brimhall

6 S NIGHT!

Here are the pics from our fun RS Meeting last night!  
What a BIG success it was!  
We were able to help out  4 different organizations in the community and have fun doing it!!! 
 
These ladies were working on quilts for the Saratoga Police Department.  
(They can keep the quilts in the back of their police cars and distribute as needed.)
 
These quilts turned out SO cute!  Good work ladies!
Below:  These ladies were having fun putting together a bunch of school/crafty supplies for the Primary Children's Hospital.  We got A LOT of donations for this!  Thank you everyone!
 
Below:  These ladies were making little tiny hair bows for the newborn baby girls at the AF Hospital.
They did a FANTASTIC job!  And they made TONS!!!
 
Below:  Is the CRAZY group!  
They were working on 1st Aid Kits for the Womens-Childrens Center for Abuse.
Thanks to everyone who donated the items needed for this!  We were able to reach our goal of 15 kits, and we even had a bunch of extra supplies to donate to them!
 I asked this group to smile, and within one second, they were all posing and smiling at me! 
 
They had so much fun with the "smiling pose", they wanted to do a "silly face" pic.  
So here you go!
THANK YOU so much to all who donated items, served on the committee, helped set up/clean up, made food, and came to help make the night a success!  I think this is one of my favorite events!   Hope you all had fun!

missing shoe?

Hey everyone, last night when I got home I had a donation on my front parking. I am posting this so that anyone whose child lost a small sandal can come and claim it. It is in front of my house @ 1279 Meadow Run. So if your child is missing one brown sandal (could be either a boys or a girls), please come and claim it. Hope you all have a great day. Thanks.
