"Don't audit life. 

Show up 

and make the most of it now."

 Monday, May 6th we celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Service and a Mexican themed luncheon.  We met at Lynn's home in Payson.  Attending our service project was Lynn, Ardis, Carol, KD, Barbara, Carolyn, Maureen, Heidi, Victoria, and Sandy. We collected Items for hygiene kits that will be taken to children in Orphanages in Juarez Mexico.  

 Each kit contains a comb, toothbrush, toothpaste, a bar of soap and a wash cloth.  As we put these kits together, we so hope they can feel the love that we are trying to put into every package we send!  KD made a special trip to the store to buy extra supplies to finish the kits.

Setting up to make Princess and Prince Themed Notecards for The Magic Yarn Project

  Our next project was making special notecards for The Magic Yarn Project.  This organization makes Princess and Prince wigs for children who are fighting cancer  or other diseases that make them lose their hair. Each wig is made specifically for certain cartoon themed princes and princesses or they make beanies with cartoon or hero character themes.  

 Each child also receives a special hand-written note with the princess  or prince or hero/character theme of their choice.  

Heidi, Barbara, Carol ~ getting creative with stickers, stamps, glitter!

 We finished over 100 cards for the Magic Yarn Project today.  We finished 124 Hygiene Kits for the oprhanage, and some ladies donated toys for the orphanages as well.  We also learned to make plarn from plastic grocery bags for crocheting sleeping pads for the homeless, and a few ladies worked on coloring some alphabet number/color sheets for the American Fork Humanitarian Center ~ A lovely, productive day!.
