Second Batch of Corn is ready



 
The next batch of corn is ready!! This week will be prime picking time. It is fresh and delicious.  There is so much corn and some has already gone bad.....we hope that you can encourage families and sisters to come and pick and bring friends and neighbors....it is such a shame to see it go bad in the field after all the time, money and effort that has gone in to growing it.  Suggested donation is 10 cents an ear...but the biggest issue is we don't want it to go to waste.  Below is a recipe for putting it in the freezer.  If anyone has questions they can call me at 640-4467.

 
Frozen Corn cut off the Cob

Ingredients:
8 Cups of corn cut off the cob
1 Cup Water
1 cube(1/2 cup) of butter (I like real butter)
2 TBS Sugar
1 tsp salt


Directions:
Clean and wash corn well.
Remove all extra hair.  
Cut kernels off cob. DO NOT BLANCHE FIRST (Hint: Try an electric knife, or tool from Bed bath and beyond)
Put all ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil
Boil for 1 min.
Cool and put into freezer bags. And freeze.

When ready to eat..Microwave and enjoy!


Number Of Servings:4 bags of 2 cups each.

Women's Broadcast Choir


 

Dear Sisters of Rogers Stake,

 

This fall on September 25th will be our next Stake Relief Society Social and General Relief Society Broadcast. We will start the evening with dinner.  Next, we'll enjoy a special program of choral music (sung by sisters from our stake) and then watch the broadcast from Salt Lake City together. 

 

This is an invitation for all sisters in Rogers Stake who like to sing to be part of this chorus. Anyone willing to learn, work hard, and share their musical talents is welcome to join. Sister Jo Evans will be the director.  She has chosen 4 or 5 beautiful songs for us to learn including "May I Serve Thee" from last year's Multi-Stake Women's Conference.  The timeline to learn the music will be short. Two practises a week are planned: one on Wednesday mornings at 9 am and, also, on Thursday evenings at 7:30 pm. You will be expected to attend at least one of these per week or both if you can.  We hope this will accommodate everyone's needs, timewise.  Practises will last at least 90 minutes each time.

 

Our first meeting will be Wednesday, August 4th at 9 am at the stake center and then again that evening (the only Wednesday) at 7:30 pm.  Everyone will receive their music at this time and hear the pieces. Hopefully, this will give every chorus member time to learn her part before our first full rehearsal on Wednesday morning, August 25th, at 9 am followed by a second full rehearsal on Thursday, August 26th, 7:30pm.  As we get close to September 25th, a Saturday or Sunday rehearsal could be added. All practises will be at the stake center.

 

For a place in the chorus or questions, please call or email Sister Jenny Grace, (RS Stake Presidency) 479-855-6211 (nettegrace@cox.net), or Sister Evans, 479-876-5331 ( randjevans@aol.com). We know this is a big commitment, but hope that 30 or more sisters would like to be part of this special chorus.

 

Thank you,

Jo Evans, Chorus Director and the

Stake Relief Society Presidency

Hey Mamas,

  Splash park in Rogers tomorrow (Friday, July 23) at 10:30 AM.  The address is 315 W. Olive.  Hope to see everyone there! 
  Next week I thought we could meet at the Bentonville Library.  There's not anything official happening, but we like to do the puzzles, read books, and (of course) check out the fishies.:)

Thanks!
Missy

Family Home Evening Groups


In an effort to get to know our branch family better, the Activities Committee is organizing some Family Home Evening Groups.  If you would like to participate, you will be placed into a group with 2-3 other families and will get together once during the quarter to have some fun and become better acquainted in the process. To help you get to know even more families, new groups will be assigned each quarter.  

We've seen a great response from the sign-up sheets that have been sent around the past couple of weeks; but before finalizing the groups, we wanted to make sure we haven't missed any interested families who  may have been on vacation.  If you are interested in participating, but have not had a chance to sign up yet, please send the following information to Melanie McMurtrey at melaniemcmurtrey@gmail.com by this Saturday, July 24th:

Name
