Preparedness Note

We have a new food storage/preparedness representative in our branch. She is the same lady who taught my mom the temple prep classes. I'm totally impressed with her and she has hit the ground running in getting us excited about preparedness again. (Our previous leader was totally inspired to get us all organized before the big winter storm December of 2007. During that one, we had hurricane force winds and power outages for three days. I mean the entire area was down, including the whole City of Newport.

She passed out some information that I am going to pass on. She brought it to our attention that the Church has set up a web page giving directions on how to prepare for the possibility of an avian flu pandemic. I haven't given much to attention to the media coverage of this, but when the church starts telling us things that we should do to prepare....well....

There something we are going to ordering, as a branch, that I thought was worth passing on, as well. She has found a stove that seems to be a great idea - and it is environmentally friendly! It burns both wood and charcoal VERY efficiently. AND it isn't very expensive.

How awesome about a new stove that burns both wood & coal! Neat idea for sure.

I couldn't find the price on the website.

Why does your blog only show two posts? You have to click on the link to see the older ones. I've been wondering why it doesn't show the others like it used to, but keep forgetting to ask. Did you set it up that way? Just curious.
