Chicken Co-op Information
If you are not in the chicken co-op, but would like to be, speak to Corinne Schulzke. (You may have to go on a stand-by list until there are enough slots) Also, if you would just like to be added to the list so that if someone doesn't want their chicken that time, they can let you have it, please contact Corinne. Here is the list of teams and the dates:

Chicken Co-op Guidelines
1. Everyone participating will take a turn to go, schedule your own alternate if necessary.2. Driving team must also stay for the half-hour distribution.
3. When you pick up your chicken, bring $14 for the next trip.
4. All chicken should be picked up within an hour of being called, during the half-hour window provided. It cannot be kept frozen. Chicken should be available for pick-up before noon.*
5. Each participant will get one 5 pound bag of boneless breast and one 5 pound bag of tenderloins. If there is a shortage of product on the day of pick-up, the team going to the plant decides what to get.
6. Please put receipt and change in the envelope/folder to allow us to keep track of costs. Prices fluctuate.
7. Once the cash surplus is sufficient, it will be divided (refunded) among the participants.
8. The store only accepts cash and does not give pricing or product availability over the phone. (See attached hours of operation.)
* If chicken is not picked up, and I can’t easily find someone to buy it, it will be donated to a charity.
Also, to clarify because the chicken comes in cases of 4, if one person does a “no show”, it jeopardizes the ability of three other families to get chicken. Remember:
A) if you are unable to get your chicken, you MUST find a replacement that YOU are responsible for (and let me know who that is)
B) if you don't find a replacement more than twice, you will be dropped from the co-op.
C) If you are buying someone else’s chicken YOU are responsible for making sure that you get the right amount of chicken.
If you have not yet taken a turn to drive or make calls, it’s time to step and either be a group leader or make sure that your team KNOWS that you will make the phone calls to let people know when the chicken arrives. I’ve tried to match the teams so that people who can’t drive can help in one of those two ways. Group leader “work” takes place ENTIRELY in hours that are “convenient” to working schedules—making phone calls and emails to collect uncollected money. A final way to contribute is to buy gas for whomever on your team drives.
There are currently 32 slots in the co-op, so the purchase should be 8 cases breasts and 8 cases tenderloins. This might require two people to split the purchase (4 sets each).
Driving Day Instructions:
If there is a price increase, you need to be prepared to cover. (An extra $36 should handle it.) This hasn’t happened yet, but could.
- Leave between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.
- Count the cash in the envelope and make a note of it at the top of the column.
- If there is a shortage of chicken, you must make the decision of what, if anything to substitute.
- When you are within a half hour of the pick-up place, call the list to let them know to come get chicken. Please call the bold numbers whenever there is a choice between numbers.
- Stay half an hour to distribute the chicken—keeping careful records of who pays how much and who picks up their chicken.
- Leave any extra chicken in a box on the front porch.
You should be finished with the whole thing around 11 a.m.—give or take a little.

Modesty: A Timeless Principle for All
There is a very good article in the July Ensign about Modesty. It is written by Sister Silvia Allred, a counselor in the General Relief Society Presidency. In addition to defining modesty, it reminds us that modesty is for all- not just the youth. Sister Allred states: "The way we dress demonstrates our understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ." You can read the entire article in your July Ensign or here: Modesty: A Timeless Principle for All

Relief Society University 2009
(Ask one of the presidency members for a copy of the areas and goals for 2009.)
Welcome to the
The program is simple. Look at the goals and plan how to accomplish them. Try to make this a “stretch” effort. Work on things that you need to accomplish or would like to, not things you are already doing. When you have completed a goal put your initial by the goal. You cannot count 2 goals accomplished from the same effort. We will be offering some Enrichment Classes that are coordinated with this effort and will count as accomplishing a goal. So watch for these classes and take advantage of them!

Associate Degree
You must complete 4 goals in each area
Bachelor Degree
You must complete 7 goals in each area
Masters Degree
You must complete 11 goals in each area
Doctorate

The sister who completes the most goals will get special recognition as the Relief Society University Valedictorian and the sister who completes the 2nd highest total will be the Relief Society University Salutatorian.
We hope that each sister in the ward will participate. We think it will be fun and rewarding! Good luck to each of you as you embark on this adventure of growth and development.
