I think I heard a special sound in the air. Or maybe it’s not really a sound, but a sharpening of the senses, a fragrance of...dare I say it?... SPRING? I haven’t heard a frog, or seen a robin, but the stirring of the earth stretching and yawning as it rubs winter out of it’s eyes, even though a few snow flurries lurk behind a cloud. Anyway, the Center is into its spring cleaning mode, with much rearranging and freshen ing up going on. COLCO users please listen up: when you call, please give LDS w om en find joy helping others In South Dakota, there are children living on a Native American Indian reservation who do not have enough re sources to meet some of their basic needs. Last month, St. Vincent’s clothing bank set out to help them. They asked for volunteers to provide them with the necessities. About six local women re sponded to the call-members of the Vernonia congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints decided to help the children. They got to gether to sew new fleece hats, desperately needed in the cold South Dakota winter. The fleece was donated by a member of the LDS church in Washington. It was sent to Ver nonia, where the hats were cut and sewn. Although a few of the women were not seam stresses, together, they sewed about 30 hats, which were sent in time for Christmas. The hats turned out beauti fully, too. In fact, some of the women liked the hats so much that, when the project was completed, they bought their own fleece and made hats for the members of their families. “We were able to accom plish more than we had SENTRY VIDEO 49* Video Rentals Old Releases Monday thru Friday TIGHTWAD TUESDAYI 1/2 P BI C E - H EW BEIEAS ES We now have DVD m ovies to rent!
