A reminder of our 12 month set of challenges...

We are almost 4 months through our "2012 Year of Preparedness", a set of challenges that Bishop B. asked me to put together for our ward.  


Here is the twelve-month calendar of challenges, in case you have forgotten.



2012: A Year of Preparedness
MV Ward
February:
No heat for one night
March: 
No lights, no powered entertainment for one evening
April: 
Learn about food storage, plan, and begin buying food from your plan
May: 
Obtain containers and fill them with water 
(and keep buying food)
June: 
Flush toilets one day with stored water.
Cook and drink using stored water for one day.
July: 
Plan 7 days of meals using only shelf stable ingredients (Shelf Stable means they don’t need refrigeration.)
