Fundraiser Help...

Rantoul Young Women need your help!  They are trying desperately to raise funds for Girls Camp, but are meeting obstacle after obstacle in their efforts to find an appropriate way to earn money.  Do you have any ideas???

Here are their specific needs:
  • **Earn money WITHOUT asking the members of the branch to contribute.**
  • Raise money within the boundaries of the Rantoul branch.
  • Avoid associating the church with brand names.
  • Encourage non-member friends to participate and earn their own way.  

 Here is what has come from brainstorming so far:
  • Bagging groceries for tips at a local County Market.
  • Spraying, tending, picking, and selling apples.
  • Selling water bottles at a county fair. 

Please add your comments if you have anything else to share!

Young Women Fun-tastic! Activities

Here is a link to the book Margie Swensen (Mattoon) talked about at our auxiliary training on Saturday.  It has mid-week activities to go along with the Sunday lessons.  A book that focuses on Personal Progress activities can be found here. 

LDS YOUNG WOMEN Yahoo Group

Sorry - I'm not a very good blogger - and I don't see that the website showed up - so here you go: Go to groups.yahoo.com and do a search for LDS_Young_Women and you will find the group. You have to 'ask' to join, but it only takes not even a day to get that confirmation. It's easy-peasy! Do it! You'll be glad you did!

Sisters,
I spoke to you about online YW Personal Progress and I also told you about belonging to a LDS Young Women Yahoo Group. I thought I would post that here so you can all "join" if you are interested. It is a great group with lots of suggestions, questions, helps, etc. Hope you have fun doing your Personal Progress online now too!
