October Newsletter 2016

30 Oct. 2016

Right now: There are #10 Cans of Heirloom Garden Seeds regularly $48.99 at 59% off. These are open pollinated seeds non GMO and non Hybrid and can be counted on to last for years in storage and produce the same plant over and over. For Seeds and last weeks list including flashlights, we need all money by tomorrow Monday Oct. 31^st. Seed cans are $20.34 with tax.

Here is the Home Storage Center Order Form we promised. Please go home and make several copies for the months ahead if you want to use it several times. We will make a run on about the 15^th of each month. Money needs to be in, on or before the 13^th of each month for these items. We will remind you.

We realize food storage is a big investment so our hope is by breaking into smaller monthly amounts we can all move ahead. For those who have the basics we will continue to offer additional items as

sales come forth and of course everyone is invited to participate in those as well.

Suggestion; Look over the list and prayerfully start on most basic needs. #10 cans of Grains or beans etc. can sustain you much longer than, say dried apple slices. So you might want to start there. These prices beat all the competition and the #10 cans are very convenient for moving in and out of storage. Or, you might want to think in terms of one of each, for each month, say one grain, one vegetable, one fruit. Think, “Could I make a simple meal from these?” and start there! If you have your basics, consider where you have gaps. Which are most important? Make a simple plan and move forward.

There are also on the list a few bulk bags of grains and vegetables. For storing those, we can purchase smaller used blue, food grade barrels like the water barrels. These are 15gals and will hold 75-100# depending (3 times as much as a 5 gallon bucket) and they can be stacked, also. They are available used for $5 a piece, compared to $45 reg. but we will have to see how many we can get. They are storage quality with snap band removable lids. Write in 15 gal barrels and how many you would like.

If you did not get a chance to participate in the 55gal. used water barrels, add how many you would like.

We will plan to do it after the first of the year. We were able to get them used for about $20 each.

Please look at the list and decide on your 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd priority needs, for your family. Over a year you can build up a very good supply, one month at a time. All of one kind or mix and match. It is up to you. Please make it a matter of prayer. Perhaps think of Christmas and setting aside some of your extras. Do what you can. With prayer miracles can happen. The Lord has promised if we are prepared (spiritually and temporally) we shall not fear and He will help us through the hard times.

May the Lord bless you in this important directive from the Prophet. We have all been forewarned.

Love and Blessing from your Self Reliance Coordinators (for now)

Brother and Sister Dansie 24^th Ward and Brother and Sister Harline 27^th Ward

Looking forward; 72 Hour Kits coming up after the first of the year

For Dec. we will feature: Emergency First Aid Kits

Brother Harline has researched for years and has found an exceptional one with many important extras included, not just bunches of cheap bandages, for about $17.50. Think of Christmas for yourselves and your families.
