On Monday, April 10th at 6 p.m. Hurricane City is having its annual city-wide Emergency Drill. I am attaching the Flier for the drill in the "Handouts and Fliers" section of this blog. (If you don't live in DISTRICT 10 or the part of Hurricane that participates in this, find or be some movers and shakers in your area to get something like this happening where you live!). We very much appreciate all of you DISTRICT 10 members participating in this important event. Specifically, we want to thank all those Block Captains and Area Captains who are willing to continue to serve their neighbors this year. Please be prepared to help this event be successful. We will be bringing more information to your Block Captains, who will then be bringing it to you.  Please go to that section and read the flier.

  WOW! This is interesting. Yeah, they're trying to sell their own, but he's making some great points in the video...some things we don't often look closely at when we see what we think is a great deal on a quick fix to our food storage problem: https://valleyfoodstorage.com/pages/comparing-emergency-food-b?utm_campaign=ComparingFood&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpm&utm_content=JordanLandscapeOffer&utm_term=LAL-1InterestStack&WickedSource=Facebook&WickedID=6321688053188

In light of our suggested March goal, here are several links that might help with preparing to garden early this season. If you’re like us, there’s definitely room for improvement when it comes to gardening…but it’s better to fail, learn, practice and “grow” then to not try at all! Several different ideas are referenced…pick those that peak your interest. There are many more sources of good information out there (including the links on the borders of videos or articles). Don’t be afraid to share any that you find!

We hope that these installments are not becoming so common that they are ignored. We truly believe in what we are doing and hope that by posting the content that we do we are helping you all become more able to deal with times of need and even able to help others. Our families grow closer and stronger by learning to depend on each other and on God first and foremost as we address daily challenges and the major struggles of life. Healthy interdependence within our neighborhoods, churches and communities are necessary enhancements to successfully addressing times of need as well. Making these relationships our 'go-to' may end up being what brings peace-of-mind in tough times as well as in the good ones. Minimizing submersion in distractions and things that are otherwise threatened by such autonomy may be looked back on as some of the best choices we could have made. Without further ponderizing, here is this month's newsletter: District 10 March 2023 Newsletter “We encourage y...

A few weeks ago some folks were asking us where to buy food storage in the area. We came up with a flier but didn't know about a place in Cedar City that should be on any list for this area. Dave Stirland told us about it. Now, that's a whole 40 miles distant, but we've been told by another source with vast experience in preparedness that these folks have the best prices around and a ton of great products. Here it is: https://goo.gl/maps/dyRQtW7rATJjRScw8 Their outles store is in Cedar City at: https://goo.gl/maps/dyRQtW7rATJjRScw8
