Service Opportunities

There are always opportunities for Service

We have served at the Garden City

Wet Pack Cannery a couple of times since our return

from Colorado...

We have done peaches

and now they are doing Pears. The Cannery assignment

for pears will keep them busy 12 hours a day, 4 days a week

until sometime in December...WOW that's a lot of Pears!

Another Project...

We had fun picking apples at Marilyn & Keith's little orchard.

Dave & Gayle and Steve & I went out one

morning and picked yummy red delicious apples

for ourselves and our kids.

We not only had fun picking the apples, but we enjoyed

visiting with Marilyn, Keith & Jeff.



The trees were loaded



The "Fruits" of our Labors







Moving everything to the van



The apples we picked filled up the back of Dave's Van



Before heading for home we stopped at one of Parker's

neighbors who was growing seedless watermelon as an

experiment this year.  We added 5 or 6 melons to

our already big load. 

Another project we worked on a couple of Saturday's ago

was for our Ward.  We do "Litter Patrol" on a long

stretch of Star Road.

Our lovely Bright Green Vests and
Bright orange Litter
bags.

Our stretch of Road is about 2 miles long

 Steve and I worked for an hour or so until the one
bag they gave us was very full and very heavy!


The church has asked every Ward in the Church to
do a service project in commeration of the 75th anniversary
of the Welfare System.
Last Saturday Our Ward along with the
Star 3rd Ward (Matt's ward)
did Phase one of our project.



We are doing a food drive for the Star Food Bank.
Phase one was putting a plastic bag and instructions
on every door knob in Star.

We are grateful for opportunities to serve

our families, community, neighbors and Church!
