Emergency Preparedness

Dear Sisters,
As you know, we are in the hurricane season, and I am sure that you have been talking with your families regarding getting prepared. A couple of months ago I ran across an article in the Chronicle about this subject. I thought this article gave some great advice that would be easy to do and would save a lot of headaches in the event of a hurricane or other disaster.

The article explained that it is important to take pictures of the inside, and outside of your home --either by camera or video. In the event of destruction of your property, This is important documentation to be used for insurance purposes. Using the pictures, you have a good source of proof for your claims.

It is also important to take the pictures, either in a flash drive, or the actual cd or photos with you if you are evacuating. Or, you can put them in a safety deposit box away from your home. Or you can mail it to some trusted relative and ask them to keep it at their home. Then, if your home is destroyed, you won't loose the photos.

The entire article can be found here.

Hope all continues to be well for the families in your wards.
Love, Irene Thomas

Poinsettia Orders 2011

Each year the Kingwood stake offers a gift to the community, demonstrating our belief in Christ and inviting friends to view a magnificent display of Nativity sets from around the world in an ambient setting of Christmas music, twinkling lights, fresh trees, and live colorful poinsettias. The plants are purchased by ward members and used as a protective buffer between guests and the displays. When the exhibit is over, plants are taken home for personal use or given as gifts. Please consider your gift opportunities when making a decision about the number of plants to buy at this discounted price ($7.50 per plant). The red poinsettias are about 18" tall in a 6 1/2 inch pot.

To purchase poinsettias, please sign up on the list on Sunday and pay the $7.50 per plant using a tithing/donation slip. Write "Poinsettia Purchase" in the "Other" category and give the donation to a member of the bishopric. Thank you for your support!
