Join us on Saturday, November 16, as the Ward plants daffodil bulbs along the Meandering Way Trail! We'll meet at 9:00 a.m. to plant approximately 4,000 daffodil bulbs at four spots along the trail to help beautify our neighborhood. The assigned locations along the trail are:

1. Beltline and Meandering Way - Last names A-H
2. Roundrock and Meandering Way - Spring Creek Elementary Student Council & families
3. La Cosa and Meandering Way - Last names J-P
4. Brentfield and Meandering Way - Last names R-Z

Please invite friends and neighbors to join us for this fun service project! Also, please feel free to bring any planting tools you have (bulb augers, shovels, gloves, etc.). We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!

JustServe.org

The JustServe.org website (http://www.justserve.org/) is a great resource to the members for planning service activities and getting more involved in our community as individuals, families, Eagle Scout projects, YW Personal Progress projects, etc. We encourage you to go to the website, get registered, and remember to invite your friends and neighbors to also use this wonderful website. When we take advantage of JustServe.org and get involved with others serving in our communities, we can be a force for doing wonderful things in our community, and our love for all the Lord's children will be increased as well as wonderful new friendships developed.

Love,
The Richardson Stake RS Presidency

DRESS for SUCCESS...a service that "covers" women!

I love the idea of cleaning out my closet and thinking of what I DO and DO NOT wear. I have some items of clothing that would work for women who need some help reentering the work place. I might wear the item once or twice every two months but someone else - IN NEED - might wear it every week.
When I think of how to serve the Lord during this holiday season, I think of all the months ahead where women will need to find jobs and feel better during the interview process. I do not want to give what I don't wear as that is not really a suitable gift to me. I want to give something I like to wear that I feel would make someone else feel more confident too.

Think about this Charity this Christmas season. To me it is as easy as looking in my closet and thinking of a "sister" who wants to have as much fun with clothes as I do!

I 'SEE' ANOTHER SERVICE OPPORTUNITY

If you are pondering service opportunities - one very worthwhile and interesting project is Reading and Radio Resource.   I volunteered more than 20 years ago, when it was called "Reading for the Blind", and it soon became one of my of "guilty pleasures".  They have a new name, but essentially it is recording textbooks, nonfiction and fiction, etc. for the sight impaired.  The facility has a state of the art studio to record in, and they are always looking for good readers, with a "little" voice talent, who is a committed volunteer - - although they are very flexible, and will work with your schedule.

It requires  a little training, and may be too involved for the Holidays, but it offers a great volunteer option in the New Year.  The Church recommends we involve ourselves within our communities to let our "Mormon Lights" shine!

Reading and Radio Resources are located at: 2007 Randall Road, Dallas, Texas 75201.  To contact this organization, you can e-mail: betty @readingresource.org. or call (214) 871-7668.

You can help a sight-impaired child get through his textbook, or read the latest novel to a senior citizen, and celebrate the wonderful gift of sight that you enjoy.
