Super Saturday with a twist...

My cute sister with the first hat she ever made.

On December 12, 2009 our ward held a three hour Super Saturday centered on Humanitarian Aid. Over 55 member and non member women were in attendance. These women donated both their time and provided the material for the service projects. We decided to focus our service on providing living essentials to women and children. Four stations were setup focused around quilt tying, making and coloring file folder games, knitting hats, and sewing T-shirt dresses for little girls. This resulted in the completion of two quilts, given by the South Pasadena Bishop to members in need, the creation of 50 file folder games which were donated to the bishops storehouse and 35 T-shirt dress were sown, which were given to a village in Ethiopia. In combination with a young women service project, 75 hats were also donated to a village in Ethiopia .
Besides the material results, sister were able to nurture friendships and learn new skills. It was very successful event, that especially left sisters with a desire to server more.

I would just like to thank all the sisters who came and supported our efforts. For all the sisters who enjoyed learning to knit we will be having a girls night in very soon. :)
