In Need of Bunk Bed

The Ingebrigtsens are in need of a bunk bed. If anyone has one/knows anyone who has one they want to get rid of, please contact her at her e-mail, johnnyjean02@hotmail.com.

Chicks/Hens

If you or anyone you know is thinking about getting chicks or laying hens, please call Tamara Pugmire at 503-363-3293. The "Chickens In the City" bill passed successfully so West Salem residents can now have their own backyard hens. They make great pets, will naturally rid your garden of pests, and provide wonderful eggs. Tamara has chicks hatching now that will be available soon. Reserve yours now. You may raise them yourself or take them home as tame, gentle adults ready to start laying for you. She can help guide you as to coop selection and general care.

Sunday Clothes Needed

Dear Sisters,

The West Salem Branch is in need of clothing that is appropriate for church. There is a special need for dresses or skirts. If you have church appropriate clothing in good condition (for men, women or children) that you could donate to the Branch, please bring it to church, or bag it up and bring it by Jenny Gates'. It's also fine to leave it on the porch. 1625 Sisters Ct. NW

Please keep this in mind as you spring clean - your support is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance from the West Salem Branch R.S. Presidency

Giveaway: Scripture Video VHS's

Stacey Griffin no longer has a VHS player, but has a bunch of Living Scripture Videos (20 videos or so) that someone can have. They are the cartoons, they have some from the Book of Mormon, NT and OT. Her kids loved them and hopefully someone else can enjoy them like they did.

Needed for Scouts: Toilet Paper Rolls

I know how good kids are at telling their parents they need things (yeah, right!), but I just thought I'd remind all the ladies in the ward that the cub scouts need toilet paper rolls for the Blue & Gold Banquet. We actually need them ASAP, so anything you have is most appreciated.

Please call Kera at 503-383-4276, and I'll be happy to take those unneeded toilet paper rolls off your hands!
