I am rating our 1st meeting was a success!! So the highlights for tonight:

We talked a lot about gardening which is good since this is not my strong point. So things that I wrote down are this:

1. - We can grow VEGGIES here!! hehe..ok so I know this cuz my dad has a beautiful garden that I get to raid (However, I am wondering how I am going to implement this into my food storage??? hmmm....)I just don't know how to grow it on my own.
2. - Radawn Ruud may have some starts for some fruit trees if you are interested. Give her a call.
3. - Through a lot of talking it seems that everyone is interested in growing or at least learning how to garden. So this is the direction we are going to go for next month. Mark your calendars!! On April 30th we will be having a soil and garden clinic given by Ralph Burton. There are links that you can access from our blog on the right to find out about raised beds/squarefoot gardening which may be a choice for many of us.
4.- The health fair is coming up and you won't want to miss, it is a fraction of the price of normal bloodwork it is definitely worth it! It will be on Apr. 28, 30 and May 5 & 7. It is held from 6:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. at the SVMC. You MUST fast for 12 HOURS before having your blood drawn. (no food or drink, however you can have water to keep your veins hydrated)
5.- We learned the **magic** of Magic Mix! My kids were so excited that I had leftovers of the fudgesicles when I got home. If you are unable to find the magic mix recipe or any of the recipes that we talked about tonight let me know and I will e-mail them over to you.

If you have any questions let me know and make sure you sign-up for the newsletter, and don't forget to comment, we need imput we all have something to add!!
