Treats for the Christmas Party

Please bring a treat to share at the Christmas Party. Remember, we will be in a church building, so lets not make it too gooey! Thanks!

PS. Thanks for your patience with my posts. I am just figuring out the whole picture thing. I am a little slow, but I am getting there!

Attention:Scholars

Hey Everyone!
Just wanted to let you know that we will have one more scholar club meeting before we take a winter break.  We will be meeting on December 9th at 7:00.  We are having our Huck Finn discussion so if you haven't finished it, now is the time.  Each of you will take a few minutes to discuss your assigned chapters and  bring up one discussion question from your reading.  Here is a reminder about your assigned chapters. Also I hope all of you have picked a book to read for next semester, Christmas break would be a good time to dive into it!  If any of you are looking for a book off of the list let me know, we have most of them.   I look forward to seeing you all.  Please send me a note letting me know you have all seen this so we don't have a mix up on times.  Heather

We will be having our Christmas Party this Friday! It will be at 2:30 pm in the LDS church on 1000 S 400 W. Come ready to make a 12 Days of Christmas for your family to deliver! (Pick a family beforehand so that you will know how many items will be needed for each day.)

Knights!

This semester, we will be studying Ben Franklin and Thomas Edison. Please get both of their books from the "Who Is" series. I can't wait!!!

Clubs Tomorrow

Hello American Liberty Girls!

Tomorrow will be our last club meeting of the semester (12:45 Bastian's)

We hope to see you there for one more tea party and one more lesson about Felicity. We'll be making little tarts to eat with our hot chocolate. You'll be able to take your teacups and saucers home this time to keep.

Also we'll be taking a lesson from Felicity and doing some service for those who need a little kindness in their lives. We'll be learning about what it's like to be in jail and everyone will have a chance to get their pictures taken in the "stocks" and "pillaries."

In January we'll meet up again for clubs. Josefina the American Girl will be our book for next semester (Jan-May) Ole! Ole!

Exciting Book Club Update from Becky

Hey everyone.. Just a thought on this book. ( Word of Wisdom: a Modern Interpretation by John Widtsoe) It is timeless and very informative. In fact, it is one of the fundamental beginnings of Redmond's Real Foods philosophy and ultimately the organic foods store. They tried to get Deseret Book to reprint the original Widstoe text----- they refused, so Redmond actually bought the rights to the book and reprinted it themselves. I noticed it is very expensive on Amazon due to being out of print. However, I can get as many copies as you would like from Redmond. I don't know the price for sure, but I'm guessing between 8-12 dollars. I will call on Monday for sure. I have referred to this book on many occasions and it is a staple in our library.

Little Women - November

Our Little Women's club leader this month did a fabulous job with her book choice "Swiss Family Robinson." The girls had a great time tasting tropical fruit and playing games.

This week we will be creating shadow boxes/dioramas of a scene from the book. Remember to bring any supplies you may need to finish it. Items provided are cardboard box, popsicle sticks, glue guns, paints & paintbrushes.

See you there.

Get Ready for December's Book Club

Do you want to "run and not be weary, " "find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge?"

These are the promises to those who keep the Word of Wisdom (Doctrine and Covenants ch. 89)
For this month's selection we will be focusing on health by reading and discussing:
Word of Wisdom: a Modern Interpretation by John Widstoe.
With scripture and fascinating scientific studies and research, he helps us to know how we can more fully take advantage of the blessings that come with this inspired code of health.

It is a short book. You can read it for free by clicking on this link:
http://www.ldsveg.org/WidtsoeWordOfWisdomAModernInterpretation.htm
or if you prefer book-form you can try to find a used copy of it somewhere (it is not currently in print.)

Come share your thoughts and any tips, products, recipes, etc. that you have on healthy living
Wednesday, DECEMBER 8, 7:30 p.m. at Laura Christensen's home (460 E. 950 N. Richfield)

Thanks to all for a wonderful book discussion last Wednesday. Like Heather said, I'll be putting my Pilgrim's Progress next to my Bible to quote from often :)

Book Group Reminder

Hi girls-
Just a reminder that we have book group this week.  We will be discussing the fabulous Pilgrims Progress.  I hope to see each of you there.  If you haven't had a chance to read, please come anyway!  This is a great way for us to help and support each other and get to know the people that are mentoring our children.  We will meet at Heather Friant's  (345 West 1200 South in Monroe) at 7:30 PM.  Hope to see all of you!  Heather

Attention:Scholars

Hi Guys
Just a reminder that we have scholar club this week.  We will meet at my home on Thursday at 7:00.  As I looked at the next date that we are supposed to meet I see that is Thanksgiving, we will go ahead and let you eat turkey that day instead.  We will instead meet that first week in December.  Because that will be our last meeting for 2010 we will wait to discuss Huck Finn until that day, those of you that are frantically reading  can slow down just a little.  You do need to read chapters 3 & 4 in the TJED book and write your "Be The Change" paper.  I look forward to seeing all of you!  Heather

Club Reminder

Don't forget clubs today (12:45 p.m. at the Bastian's)
