Emergency Preparedness Fair
June 1, 2013
9am-1pm
A preparedness fair is in the works! We are gathering information, services, emergency providers, demo's and much more so we can share all of it with the whole community! We'll have booths on 72-hr kits, water storage, gardening, elderly care, the cannery, LDS community services and much much more. We hope you share the news and come and support our efforts in spreading the word about being prepared.

Good Advice
The First Presidency has recently said: “We ask that you be wise as you store food and water and build your savings. Do not go to extremes; it is not prudent, for example, to go into debt to establish your food storage all at once. With careful planning, you can, over time, establish a home storage supply and a financial reserve."
