Wow!  What a FUN Halloween Party this week!     Thank you to the Activities Committee for making it all happen.   The food was wonderful and the games were a hit!     

Sister Hegedus wanted to be sure to give specific thanks to those who helped pull it off:
"Thanks for the support of the ward in this event. It takes all the organizations to make the evening so successful:    - Sister Rita Burt for making the invitations, YM for the awesome black light bowling, Primary - fish pond, YW - face painting, Bishopric - bean bag toss, RS & many extra volunteers for corn dogs + chiliburgers, High Priests - ice cream cones + floats, SS - helium balloons, Elders - Train, Wendy Low & Barb McMurray - decorations, Bill Creed - strongman machine, Sis. Davidsen - Chinook co-ordinator, Paul Sloan - master of ceremonies + music, Missionaries - photo booth and the faithful Activities Committee Sis. & Br. Rex Sommerfeldt and Br. Hegedus."

Also, if you by any chance enjoyed those cute little corn dogs as much as my family did, you'll want to check out the Recipe link.

Have Kids?  Like to Exercise? 

Like Kids?  Have to Exercise?

Then our Exercise/Mommy Group is for YOU! 

   

Come join us for  "Cardio and Company?"   "Muscles and Mingling?" 

We'll think of a cute name later, but for now Sisters are welcome to join us as we exercise, chat, and let the kids run wild---ahem, play nicely.

We'd love you to join us at the Temple Street Chapel GYM on:

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00am-10:00am. 

(Wrap-up/clean-up is at about 9:50, and then we play some games with the kids)

Exercise is Freestyle, so you are welcome to bring Church appropriate dvds/dvd player or music, make up your own routine, or go for a walk/run around the gym (jumping child-sized hurdles as you go ;)  ).

(Call Cayleen Blackmore if you have any questions.)

We look forward to keeping fit with you!

Thanksgiving Pies for YOU
