Thurs., Aug 7th-STAKE RS SUMMER SOCIAL & SERVICE EVENT

Dear Sisters,

We are excited to let you know that on Thursday August 7, we will have our second annual Stake Relief Society Summer Social and Service Event. Last year's was a huge success and the Stake has been working hard to make this event just as much fun!
We need your help! This year we will be doing service projects based on a few needs that have been identified in our community. We are now gathering materials/supplies for these projects, here is what we need!
  
- fabric (lightweight cotton or flannel) suitable for blankets and quilts
- heavier fabric (suitable for tote bags)
- jewelry making items (nice beads, clasps, wire, etc.)
- fabric scraps 

- school supplies 

- other craft materials/supplies 

*Please bring whatever you are able to donate to church next week or you can drop if off at Sarah Homewood's house (3594 Scamp St)* 

The Stake leaders need these materials as soon as possible so they know what they have to work with.

Thank you, sisters! We are looking forward to this!

With Love,

The Relief Society Presidency

For regional activities

• SA’s-go on and join so you can stay up to date with activities for our new Stake program.
• We are aligning our focus as SA’s with the prophet’s directive to “hasten the work”!
• We have scheduled with the temple an ongoing session for our stake SA’s monthly
• (3rd Friday eve at 6 pm).
• The Harris’s are on standby for scheduling a family history center activity soon, in the meantime make sure you have joined the FB page so you  know when that will be happening.
• SA’s we want to hear your ideas for service projects!  
• We will also be hosting missionary minded activities like bringing investigators/non-member friends to the Battalion etc.

(In essence, we are leaving the super social activities to the regional activities coordinators, and our activities will be gospel centered w/ a social fringe :)  We can schedule going out to eat after each of these activities or potluck picnics etc.)

 All 31+ are encouraged to come, and those with youth can bring them to the temple, family history center and Battalion.

Rating: 5

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Yield: 1 bundt cake

A sweet, buttery cake bursting with lemon and zucchini.

Ingredients:

1 + 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan

2 + 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan

2 + 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon coarse salt

3 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini - 8 ounces each)

3 large eggs

1 + 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons lemon zest, just the yellow - not the pith

1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice

Glaze:

1 + 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

1 - 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice

lemon zest to garnish the top, optional

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 6-cup bundt pan with butter and dust with flour.
2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon salt.
3. Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater then wring out most but not all of the water by placing it in a clean kitchen towel and twisting it.
4. Stir together the eggs and sugar, then stir in the melted butter, zucchini, vanilla, lemon zest and juice.
5. Stir in the flour mixture.
6. Transfer batter to the pan and bake about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 15 minutes.
7. Run a paring knife around the edges then turn out onto wire rack or cake dish and allow to cool completely.
8. Once cooled make the glaze by whisking the sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, add more if needed. The glaze should be thick but will run off the spoon when lifted.
