Black Friday and Saturday at the Beehive

 

10 Great Reasons to Spend Black Friday and Saturday at the Beehive:

 

1) TWO DOLLAR TOTES.  Yep, you read it right.  We'll have a limited number of scriptures totes for just $2 a piece.  Hurry in, these won't last long.  Of course, we have lots of other great totes on sale for 30% off (a great deal in and of itself).

 

2) Our BOOKS are always 10% off the regular price.  This weekend books are on sale big time.  We're talking as much as 70% off.  Fiction, non-fiction, doctrine, children's, lesson helps, motivational, cookbooks.  You name it, it's there.

 

3) To the Rescue is on sale.  This is your chance to get President Monson's biography at the lowest price of the season.  Our 20% discount is already better than Deseret's price.  But, this weekend, we'll knock off another 5% to make it just $26 a copy. 

 

4) CDs are 40% off.  That's right all CDs (except for the October General Conference CD's - which are now in).  That includes talks on CD, books on CD, and music CDs.

 

5) DVDs are buy one get one free.  This includes all DVDs except those from Church Distribution (see more about those later).  There are some fabulous family friendly movies at the Beehive that would make for a great Family Home evening movie night or stuff a stocking or two.

 

6) Select Church Distribution DVDs are on sale.  Regularly $5 each, we will have a bunch of them on sale for just $3 each.  This is lower than Church Distribution charges (even with free shipping).  These would make fabulous Visiting and Home teaching gifts, as well as gifts for teachers, neighbours, mailmen, hairdressers, piano teachers, friends and co-workers.

 

7) All DOWNEAST clothing is on sale.  You've already seen some great deals on this comfortable, stylish clothing.  This weekend we'll take an extra 10% off those already amazing prices.

 

8) CRISTUS is on sale.  Beautiful 18" Cristus statues regularly priced at $175 will be on sale for just $125.  Wow. 

 

9) CLEARPLAY machines are ½ off.  You probably won't need one of these to watch the great movies you buy from us, but they sure can expand your movie watching options.  They make a great gift, too.

 

10) All FRAMED ART is 30% off.  This includes great artists like Greg Olsen, Liz Lemon Swindle and Simon Dewey (to name a few).

 

We thought of another good reason, so here's an 11^th:

 

11) FREE GIFTS throughout the weekend.  The first 12 customers, each day, to spend $50 or more will receive a free nativity gift box (suitable for bringing cookies to the families you visit).  We'll also have other neat things to give away throughout the weekend to thank you for coming in and supporting the Beehive.

 

We are open 10am to 6pm Friday the 26^th and Saturday the 27th.  Quantities on sale items are limited so shop early for best selection.  We take cash, check, mastercard, visa, and discover.

The Beehive is located at 1772 West Sunset Suite B2, Springdale AR, 72762.  Check our website www.beehivemercantile.com for directions.

Great Ideas for Bethlehem Costumes

 

Easy costume ideas for robes, tunics, or clothing that wrap around or drape over the body:

 

A simple tunic can be made by taking a piece of fabric the width of your body and twice the length. Fold it in half length wise and make a slit in the fold for your head. Tie it around your waist with a sash, scarf, cord, or rope.

     

Bathrobes or lounge wear can be used (modest only please). Plain knee-length or full-length dresses can be tied about the middle with a scarf, sash, rope, or cord. The women can also wear a scarf or shawl to cover the head.

 

An easy costume can be made by folding a sheet in half so the hems are at the bottom. Over a shirt and pants, hold the sheet behind your back, grasp a corner fold in each hand. Drape the left corner over the left shoulder and bring the right corner under the right arm, across the chest and drape it over the left shoulder. Secure with a safety pin or piece of jewelry.

    

Shepherd type head wear can be made for adults and children with a towel, scarf, or pillow case, secured on the head with a length of rope, twine, yarn, or even tape.

*We are looking for some pop-up canopies that can be borrowed  for our activity?  If anyone has some they would let us borrow, reply to me at bingham_family@hotmail.com and let me know.   I will be happy to come and pick it up.
 
Thanks!

free clothing giveaway next weekend

Hello ,
I wanted to let you know about some news that you might be interested in. Also, PLEASE forward this to anyone who lives locally that you think may be able to benefit from either event.

We are hosting two wonderful events geared towards helping families in our community. As you know current economic conditions have many families struggling to stay afloat. With the holidays approaching quickly many people are wondering how they will afford to give Christmas to their children. We were in the same boat last year and struggled so hard we could not afford Christmas gifts for our 3 children (we have 4 now). Had it not been for some generous people who gave to our family, our kids would have had nothing under the tree.

The year has been better to our family and we want to give back to our community! The first event will be held at Firesale in the Kingston Shopping Center (Rogers, AR) this Saturday, Nov 6th from 9am to 3pm. We will host a clothing drive and giveaway called “The Clothesline”. it’s our 2nd annual event. People can just show up and they will be given an opportunity to come and select some free clothing for their family members. Last year we gave away over 8,000 articles of clothing to over 1200 families.

We’ve teamed up with some local charities to make this event possible. Anyone wishing to make donations to the event can drop them off Friday evening or early Saturday morning before the event starts. (just use the contact info provided in this email to make arrnagments for drop offs) We have an urgent need for coats, CLEAN shoes and children’s clothing items. Donations need to be CLEAN and sorted, folded and presented ready to give. Please, no dirty or soiled items- nothing with stains or damage.

As an added bonus, we will be hosting another event Nov 15-22 in Springdale at the Ozark Center Point shopping center. It is a children’s consignment event geared towards the holidays. Our purpose is to give struggling families and opportunity to make some money to boost their Christmas budgets and also find great bargains on new and gently used items like: baby/children’s clothing, toys, furniture, gear, Christmas decorations and more. Anything to make a child’s Christmas a littler merrier!

Those who are interested in consigning can sign up for a free account at our website and enter items into the system from the comfort of their own homes. Simply enter them, tag them, drop them off and pick up a check at the end of the week. This will give may families the ability to get caught up on some bills and purchase gifts for their children. The sale is open to the public after a short private sale held for volunteer workers and consignors.

Items left over from the children’s consignment event will be given to needy families in our community.

More info for the clothing drive can be found at http://www.firesale-llc.com

And more info for the White Elephant Exchange Holiday Children’s consignment event can be found at http://www.whiteelephantexchange.net

Anyone needing more info on either event can also email firesale@carbonstar.net for more info, or call 479-899-5474.
Thank you for your consideration. Looking forwards to a great holiday season and opportunities to share in the season of giving!

Looking for a Sitter

 This is from Liz Ledbetter in the Springdale stake.  Here is her contact info:

Liz Ledbetter(lizbeth393@yahoo.com)

My sister needs a new sitter for her daughter in the bentonville, rogers, centerton area. I was wondering if you might know anyone that is doing any at home childcare or might be interested in doing some?(a member of the church would be great) She usually needs someone 30-35 hrs per wk and it can be anywhere between 4am and 10pm depending on her schedule so it would need to be someone that is willing to be flexible. .... Thanks Liz

A Huge Reason to Vote

 Remember, we get to vote on November 2nd! Exercise your right!

  

This is the story ......of our Mothers and Grandmothers who lived only 90 years ago.

Remember, it was not until 1920 that women were granted the right to go to the polls and vote.

 The women were innocent and defenseless, but they were jailed nonetheless for picketing the White House, carrying signs asking for the vote.

 And by the end of the night, they were barely alive. Forty prison guards wielding clubs and their warden's blessing went on a rampage against the 33 women wrongly convicted of 'obstructing sidewalk traffic.'

(Lucy Burns)

They beat Lucy Burns, chained her hands to the cell bars above her head and left her hanging for the night, bleeding and gasping for air.

 (Dora Lewis)

 They hurled Dora Lewis into a dark cell, smashed her head against an iron bed and knocked her out cold. Her cell mate, Alice Cosu, thought Lewis was dead and suffered a heart attack. Additional affidavits describe the guards grabbing, dragging, beating, choking, slamming, pinching, twisting and kicking the women.

 

 Thus unfolded the 'Night of Terror' on Nov. 15, 1917, when the warden at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia ordered his guards to teach a lesson to the suffragists imprisoned there because they dared to picket Woodrow Wilson's White House for the right to vote. For weeks, the women's only water came from an open pail. Their food--all of it colorless slop--was infested with worms.

 (Alice Paul)

 When one of the leaders, Alice Paul, embarked on a hunger strike, they tied her to a chair, forced a tube down her throat and poured liquid into her until she vomited. She was tortured like this for weeks until word was smuggled out to the press.

So, refresh MY memory. Some women won't vote this year because - Why, exactly? We have carpool duties? We have to get to work? Our vote doesn't matter? It's raining?

 

 

  Mrs Pauline Adams in the prison garb she wore while serving a 60 day sentence.

Last week, I went to a sparsely attended screening of HBO's new movie 'Iron Jawed Angels.' It is a graphic depiction of the battle these women waged so that I could pull the curtain at the polling booth and have my say. I am ashamed to say I needed the reminder.

 

Miss Edith Ainge, of Jamestown ,   New York

All these years later, voter registration is still my passion. But the actual act of voting had become less personal for me, more rote. Frankly, voting often felt more like an obligation than a privilege. Sometimes it was inconvenient.

 

 

  (Berthe Arnold, CSU graduate)

My friend Wendy, who is my age and studied women's history, saw the HBO movie, too. When she stopped by my desk to talk

about it, she looked angry. She was--with herself. 'One thought kept coming back to me as I watched that movie,' she said. 'What would those women think of the way I use, or don't use, my right to vote? All of us take it for granted now, not just younger women, but those of us who did seek to learn.' The right to vote, she said, had become valuable to her 'all over again.'

 

 HBO released the movie on video and DVD . I wish all history, social studies and government teachers would include the movie in their curriculum I want it shown on Bunco/Bingo night, too, and anywhere else women gather. I realize this isn't our usual idea of socializing, but we are not voting in the numbers that we should be, and I think a little shock therapy is in order.

It is jarring to watch Woodrow Wilson and his cronies try to persuade a psychiatrist to declare Alice Paul insane so that she could be permanently institutionalized. And it is inspiring to watch the doctor refuse. Alice Paul was strong, he said, and brave. That didn't make her crazy.

 

 The doctor admonished the men: 'Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity.'

 

 Please, if you are so inclined, pass this on to all the women you know.  We need to get out and vote and use this right that was fought so hard for by these very courageous women. Whether you vote democratic, republican or independent party - remember to vote.
