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. We're skipping this month due to the recent arrival of an adorable baby to the home of the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator. We'll bring you a new recipe next month! Meanwhile, check the attendance roll binders in church for copies of the previous two recipes. 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.
