You are invited to attend our Stake Relief Society Women’s Conference that will be held at our Stake Center on Saturday, March 17th. We invite mothers of graduating Seniors to bring their daughters.

 

Our Theme is “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.” D&C 6:36

 

10:00 am—Keynote speaker: Janice Kapp Perry in the chapel

11:00 am—We will have a workshop/Panel Discussion in the chapel: [True or False: What Do You Think?...A practical way to create a more peaceful, joyful life...one thought at a time.]

12:00 noon—A lunch of soup, salad and rolls will be served in the cultural hall

Come for the entire event or for what your schedule allows.

 

March 17th is the 170th birthday of the Relief Society!

We want to celebrate in a big way by doing some service together. Besides having projects to work on that day, we have organized a way we can help with 6 or more refugee families that are living in the Salt Lake City area. They have come to the United States and have been given a place to live but usually have little or no supplies like pans, towels, dishes, adequate clothing, school supplies, toys etc. We will give you an opportunity to sign up for items that are needed. We would like you to bring those items to the Women’s conference on March 17th so we can deliver them to these families. We will have more information, a list of items needed, and a link to an online sign up on our blog. We invite you to involve your family in this project. Let them help you gather the items and tell them who they are for. The items can be new or clean, gently used items. This is a great opportunity to clean out things you no longer need but are still useful.

We are excited to have a blog as a means to give you information from our Stake as well as share ideas of service for individuals as well as Wards to do. Please bookmark our blog: http://hwssistertosister.blogspot.com/

 

With Love,

The Stake Relief Society Presidency

How to deal with a power outage from KSL.Com

SALT LAKE CITY  — As Rocky Mountain Power crews hustle to restore power to the approximately 50,000- plus Utahns left without electricityfollowing strong winds in Davis County, the power company is saying people should prepare for a night without power, just in case.

"Get your emergency preparations out and organized and have an alternate place to go if the home gets too cold for you," company spokesman Dave Eskelsen said.

He said that crews are working to repair the damage and get the power flowing again, but said it was expected that the winds could continue to impact other costumers into Thursday evening.

Power outage kit

Store these items in a water-tight container:
Bottled water - one gallon per person per day in the household.
Ready-to-eat foods
Manual can opener
Battery-operated radio
Clock
Flashlights
Extra batteries
Blankets
First aid kit

"We tend to get new outages even as we restore others," Eskelsen said.

In the interim, he urged people to unplug unnecessary appliances, leave their refrigerators and freezers plugged in, but closed to preserve their food, and to leave a porch light on.

"That really helps crews as they go out and restore power to customers," Eskelsen said, as it lets them know who had the power return and who has not.

Officials say it may take 48 hours to restore power to all of those who lost it in the high winds.  

Joe Dougherty, spokesman with the Utah Division of Emergency Management, said there are a number of dos and don’ts when it comes to staying warm. Do stock up on blankets, wear multiple layers and keep a hat handy. Don't bring any sort of heat-generating combustible, such as a grill or a propane heater, inside homes or garages.

"That's when we see carbon monoxide illnesses and deaths," Dougherty said.

Power Outage FAQ

Answers to the most frequently asked questions

He said placing blankets or towels around windows and doors could also help to keep homes warm.

Dougherty advised individuals to make sure they have foods that don't need to be refrigerated or re-heated. That's in addition to flashlights, fresh batteries, manual can openers and a battery-operated radio for updates.

"(Radios) can also be found in their car to get information," he said. "With no access to the Internet, especially because your cell phone may not be working or will be difficult to charge, turn on car radio about every hour for news updates. KSL will be broadcasting that information."

The car should be outside when turned on to listen to the radio, warm up and recharge necessary electronic devices. He noted, though, that landline telephones should be functioning normally.

Power outage safety

- Never use kerosene or propane heaters inside without proper ventilation. They create dangerous fumes. Also, don't use charcoal in your house or garage.
- Preserve body heat by wearing multiple layers of clothing. Add a hat and blankets to stay warm. Blankets and towels around your windows and doors help keep the heat in.
- Protect your pipes during freezing weather by wrapping them with insulation. Also, leave faucets dripping so water won't freeze and crack the pipes.
- Your full freezer should keep food frozen and safefor about two days when kept closed.
- If someone in your home is on life support, be sure to have a back-up system and a plan of action for an outage.

He said if a power line falls on the car, to stay inside the vehicle until help comes. He warned against going near any downed power lines — whether they appear to be conducting electricity or not — and to keep pets away as well.

"If you see a downed power line, assume that it's dangerous and that it's energized, even if its not sparking," Dougherty said. "If you see a person touching a power line do not touch them, call 911."

He also said residents affected by the power outage may want to keep faucets dripping to prevent any pipes freezing. "That could cause a second disaster," Dougherty said.

Officials at Rocky Mountain Power said they would have a better idea what the situation will be heading into the evening after they assess with operations crews around 4 p.m.
