FOR YOUR INFORMATION

• Free Dental Exams: Several members of the Los Angeles Stake are providing FREE DENTAL SCREENINGS and FREE X-RAYS for the next three weeks as part of the screening process. If you qualify for the exam, you will get a free filling and/or free cleaning sometime between March 27-30th.  Please respond by emailing dentalscreeningucla@gmail.com if you would like to come in for screening or call (213) 290 6275.
• Free Spanish Classes: Did you know that more members of the church AND more citizens of the U.S. speak Spanish than speak English? Would you like to learn Spanish? The Stake Relief Society is considering providing a weekly Spanish class for Relief Society members who attend church in our building.  Please sign up on this form if you'd be interested in attending so we can gauge interest.  (I'm using a new signup website instead of Google docs, which hopefully will be more user-friendly than Google docs.  Let me know if you have feedback about using it.)
• Housing: Please let the Ward Housing Coordinator (Cheryl Cunliffe - cherylcunliffe@gmail.com) know if you have any rooms to rent in your house, short-term, long-term or part-time (Monday-Friday) or have any rental properties available. She's been getting serveral request lately and wants to know what's available from the ward members.

Emergency Preparedness reminder:  The First Presidency recommends building a three-month supply of food. Each month a recipe will be provided that includes nonperishable food items. When storing food it is important to keep track of expiration dates and store food in proper conditions.  The First Presidency recommends to store what you eat and eat what you store. This allows a rotation of the food before the expiration date. Cooking without power is another concern in times of emergency. The following website list the many options available: www.yourfamilyark.org. There are instructions on how to build your own oven using cardboard, foil, and charcoal or links on where to purchase solar oven. Our goal is to make some progress every month. Good luck.
