Words of Wisdom From Your Presidency...
Thanksgiving is coming! Do you know where the sisters you visit teach will be feasting? Through the inspired program of visiting teaching we are given stewardship over our sisters. Really get to know them, fellowship them, and most of all be their friend! Be someone they feel safe in trusting. Friendship creates miracles in lives and opens doors that will open in no other way. Ask your sisters about their Thanksgiving plans as you visit this month. Find out if there is anything they are in need of: food, firewood, companionship, a babysitter....anything. As we friendship our sisters, the blessings of this program will unfold!

November Visiting Message:
Choose a General Conference Talk that you think would benefit the needs of the sisters you visit teach.
Report your visiting teaching to your district supervisor:
District 1: Joan Greenwood 363-5012
District 2: Patsy Philson 880-1965
District 3: Marjorie McLean 363-2385
District 4: Joyce Jensen 363-6867

Relief Society Service Projects:
Winter Coat Drive
Please bring new or gently used hats, gloves, and coats to donate to needy families in the Bitterroot this winter. We will have a box to put the items in outside the RS room and will also gather them the night of our Terrific Tuesday. The Winter Coat Drive will last through the month of November.

Eagle Scout Project for Jason Fadely:
Jason Fadely has asked the Hamilton Ward to donate diapers and wipes for backpacks he is putting together for foster children as his Eagle Scout Project. We need 10 packages of wipes and 10 packages of diapers (Size: Newborn, Size 1, Size 2, Size 3, Size 4, and Size 5. If you want to donate to this Eagle Scout Project please bring the items to Holli Hayes at church. If diapers are too expensive for your budget, you could get a group of women to sign up together and split the cost. If you wanted to donate $5.00, we could also make sure the diapers get purchased. We will have a sign up sheet at our Terrific Tuesday and have the month of November to gather all diapers and wipes.
