So we realize that this post is a little outdated, however, we loved these photos and thought that we should share them.  The Enrichment Committee did a great job with putting this Birthday Social together.  The food was delicious, the decorations were cute and the speakers all did a fantastic job!  We missed those of you who were not there and we hope that you will be able to make it next time.  Thanks to all of those who helped make this night a huge success!!!

**Our apologies to those of you who we didn't get a picture of!

Utah Food Bank Food Drive

As you may know, the Utah Food Bank is in need of food. You may have received a Brown Bag in your newspaper to put non-perishable food items in. If you did not receive one do not worry. You can use any bag that you may have and put whatever food in it that you can. The scouts will be coming around Saturday morning to collect the food. Please have your food out by 8:30 am. This is a great opportunity to help others who may be in need during these hard economic times.
