Calendar for "2012-A Year of Preparedness"

Today I gave  the 5th Sunday presentation at my ward.  First, I played the two youtube videos (which you can see in the previous blog post.)

Then I gave a 16 minute power point presentation, showing the monthly challenges which our bishop has asked our ward members to do for the next 12 months.

I will post the whole presentation soon, but for right now I will just post the Calendar so you can see what is scheduled.  Wait to see the explanations later.
