Relief Society Super Saturday: Emergency Preparedness

I've mentioned here on my blog before that I'm in charge of planning the monthly activities for our Relief Society (women's church group). 

Once a year there is an activity that is a little bigger, more involved, and is usually for crafting. 

It's called Super Saturday.

Last year for our Super Saturday I had 2 crafts available for people to make, a temple string art plaque and a reversible 2x4 wood block craft. 

(You can find the post for that here)

This year, after discussing some options, we decided to do something a little different. We know that some of the ladies in our ward, (myself included), are behind in our emergency preparedness. We either don't really know where to start, or what the best options are, or are just overwhelmed in general and don't want to start at all.

Emergency preparedness has been a pretty big part of our church for a very long time, so we figured it might be helpful to highlight some parts and talk about the importance of it.
We came up with a title (theme) for our activity;
"If you are prepared you won't be scared"

A few weeks prior to the activity I created a poster to leave at the church for the women to see.

The poster had our title/theme across the top and then listed the following:

- 72 hr backpacks

- basic First-Aid kits

- important documents binder 

- food storage mini class 

- First-Aid mini class

- being spiritally prepared
*Lunch will be served
*Nursery will be provided

Relief Society Super Saturday

First of all, I am well aware that this post is long overdue.

At least I'm getting it done people! 

For those of you who aren't familiar with what I'm even talking about here, I'll quickly explain.
Once a year the women's group in our church gets together for a 'Super Saturday' where we basically eat some good food and make some crafts.

Who wouldn't want some of that?!

I am the one in charge of planning this, and I was really excited with what I had come up with.
I had two crafts available for the women to make, and I brought them to church a couple of weeks before our big day so the women could see what we were offering and decide if they wanted to come.

The two crafts I had available for the women was the DIY Temple String Art and the DIY Reversible 2x4 Craft. These linked posts are tutorials to show you how to make each craft.

This post is to show you how we set up everything for our Super Saturday.
