May-August Plans

This is what is happening with Serving With Smiles Saratoga May - August!
(Below is a description from our SWS American Fork friends.)

Remember to mark your calendar for a very special 3 year anniversary project next May 15! This project will be held at an LDS Stake Center at 690 W. 600 N. in American Fork from 9 - 10:30 a.m (note time change). American Fork Serving With Smiles and Saratoga Springs Serving With Smiles are combining this month! We also have a very special guest speaker and singer, Jenny Phillips who will share her experiences traveling with her choir to South Africa plus entertain us!! Of course we will have yummy treats afterward.

Please note that after the June 5 project, we will not have a July project and the August project will be a mini-project to only collect school kit supplies (we like to take advantage of the mega sales of school supplies at that time of year).

April's Project

Today we had our Serving with Smiles's April Project. It was a very accomplished project!! We were able to make:
2 blankets sewn,
5 bead geckos,
1 quilt tied,
6 fleece blankets tied,
33 Coloring Pages to make someone out there smile,
1 hat crocheted,
25 hygiene kits,
We also did a very special project where we made 100 hygiene kit socks. This is how we made them: Each table got 15 socks, and stuffed them with multi-colored toothbrushes, toothpaste, a comb, lotion, shampoo, and a tiny soap bar. We will make school supplies socks in our June project. Then we will give these socks to Circle of Love (another service group) and they will take these socks to Arizona and give them to children on Indian Reservations.
We also had about 40 kids there. You should come to our next projects. I'm really glad we have Serving with Smiles, it's been such a great experience. It's a really good feeling to know that we're helping people in the world. My mom wishes she had this opportunity when she was a kid.

P.S. Remember our next project (May 15th) will be in American Fork but, it will probably be our best and most fun project this year because it's going to be a celebration of the 3 year anniversary of Serving with Smiles! You better come!!!!
