December Events

A few changes: Jay's tie and pie event is on the 30th, same place, same time.  Also don't forget Devin and Britny's Wedding Open House on December 27th from 7-9 at the church.

Super Saturday, November 1, 2008

The Sisters all came together for a day of crafts and fun! Some great projects were done and thanks to the Enrichment committee for all their hard work.

November Sister Spotlight: Sister Garloff


I was named after my grandmother.  Her name is Giovanna, which is Joanne in Italian.  My birthday is February 3rd, and I was born in Washington, PA.  My favorite color is Turquoise.

I have been a part of this Ward for as long as I have been a member of the church, which has been since October 26th, 2008.

I recommend both the book "The Great Gatsby" and the movie- the original with Mia Farrow and Robert Redford.  They portray the time period very well.

I enjoy reading, journaling, card making, and watching football and hockey.

When I was little, what I wanted to be when I "grew up" was a nurse and help sick people.

If I could travel anywhere in the world I would go to Israel.  I would like to walk where the Lord walked, and see the part of the world he lived in.

The farthest I have been from home is Alaska.  I went there 10 years ago with my husband, and we took a two day trip to Barrow.

September Sister Spotlight: Jeanne Machin


 My mom does family history and came across a long line of Jeanne Coventrys in my line.  I am Jeanne Coventry the 9th.

My birthday is January 19, 1976 and I was born in Davenport, Iowa.

My favorite color's are Caribbean Sea Blue and Fire engine red, but not always together!

I have been a member of the church for 32 years, and I have spent 7 of those years in this ward.

I recommend always wearing lipstick, even in a seemingly ridiculous situation.  Exercising daily and eating at Lydia's in the Strip District as often as possible (which is why you need to exercise daily!)

The one kitchen item that best describes me is a shiny gold lamé potholder.... every day practical with a touch of glamour.

My hobbies and talents include singing, playing violin, baking and cooking ( I make a mean chocolate chip cookie) Yoga, walking/running, I'm a big movie-buff, choral singing and conducting, and acting like a Muppet to make my kids and husband laugh.

When I was little, what I wanted to be when I grew up was to work at McDonalds.  I then upgraded to wanting to be a chef... but those fries keep calling my name!

If I could travel anywhere in the world I would choose Egypt to see the pyramids, Peru to hike to Machu Picchu, Paris to see EVERYTHING and the Virgin Islands to snorkel in that gorgeous, blue water.

The farthest I have been from home is Majorca, Spain.
