Stake Youth Shoe Drive- The Stake youth have decided to take on a shoe drive for the benefit of building a well in Africa. Their goal is 2000 pairs of shoes per ward and they have until December 10th to accomplish this goal. The shoes will be sold in Tanzania, Africa and 100% of the money will go to constructing a well in Burkina Faso, Africa. Shoes of any style or size (as long as they are still wearable and clean) can be given to the YM or YW presidency members in our ward, or you can call the youth in the ward and they will come and pick them up. The youth will be able to watch a video of the constructing of the well, and of the people from Burkina Faso.

Turkey Drive- For our Humanitarian project in the month of December, pick up an extra frozen turkey (or ham) while you are out doing your holiday grocery shopping. Many places offer great deals during the Thanksgiving season. We will be collecting frozen turkeys/ hams for the both the men's and women's shelters in Nampa. The turkeys/hams will be collected in the church parking lot on Tuesday,  December 2nd between 6 and 7 p.m. This means you can drop off your turkey on your way to Enrichment, no need for an extra trip!  Contact Sharlee Hatch (or any member of the humanitarian committee) with further questions.

December Enrichment- Dec 2nd 7 PM. “Your Favorite Things” Bring a favorite thing of yours to give as a gift. (A favorite food, book, cleaning supply, etc… anything!!!)  We will have a great night!  Plan to join us!
