Week 43 (October 21, 2012)

Several months ago we talked about purchasing wheat grinders. Have you saved enough to purchase one? Please contact me if you would like to get on a list to buy one. What a great Christmas gift idea! Remember, every household really needs to have either a hand grinder or electric grinder to make use of the grains and foods we are storing.

Cannery trip next week. Be sure and calendar it! Tuesday, October 30, 2012 @ 9:30 a.m.

Purchase: Grains (whatever you are able to do.)

Week  41  (October 7, 2012)

Try out different grains during the month so that you can be sure your family enjoys the food you are storing.

We will be going to the Cannery again next week! (Tuesday, October 16... meet in the church parking lot at 4:00 p.m.) You may can whatever you like; and while helping others, they help you!

Well... where did September go? Where ever it went, it went without me and I apologize. But here we are with new goals and energy in October! Keep chugging!

Week  40 (September 30, 2012)

In reviewing the last months of assignments, your family should be well on its way to becoming self-reliant, if needed. You should have on hand a 3-months supply of pantry food, as well as a good quantity of longer term foods. Other items you should have on hand by now are a 6-month supply of non-food items and your emergency supplies such as a 72-hour kit, sanitation kit, and contact information in case of an emergency.

For October, we will concentrate on the grains once again. Remember, 300 lbs of grain (wheat, oats, rice, corn, barley, etc.) per person per year. (Adult) Please stay valiant in finishing up our year together!

There will be a Cannery Activity on Thursday, October 4^th. Meet at the church at 9:30 a.m. to carpool.

Purchase: 100 lbs grain
