Upcoming Events

Here are a few upcoming events in our neighborhood. If there are any events we are missing, please e-mail the event to Megan Stewart at megative_11@yahoo.com


Canyonlands 1/2 Marathon in Moab spring 2009
We are trying to get a group together to run the Moab 1/2 marathon in March 2009. This will be really fun to do as a neighborhood! Call or e-mail Megan Stewart for more info. Also, if you would just like to run with the group, but not run the race, please join in! We'd love to have you! We are currently working to get some schedules together so no one will have to run alone. Let us know what works for you! See you there!

Volleyball
There is currently a game for Highlands East team at 9:00PM at the Stake Center Thursday, October 2, and the same day for Highlands West at Eagle's Gate at 8:00PM. We are currently practicing Wednesday nights at 9:00PM. We will meet at the stake center, and if it's really crowded, we might jet over to our building and practice there. It will be a great time to develop skills and get to know one another. Please join in the fun!

Clothing/Toy Swap
This will be in the front of Michelle Hall's house (3532 Heyward) on October 1st at 10AM. We will hopefully be doing this once a month. Bring all unwanted toys/clothing and meet at Michelle's. Take what you want and leave what you don't. Leftover items will be donated. Please come even if you don't have anything to share. You might find a treasure.

Knitting
The knitting class had to be cancelled last minute, but will be rescheduled. We will either do it in a group or individually, based on our needs. Fall is a great time to learn to knit, just in time for Christmas and cool weather! Pat Palmer contacted me and said she would like to donate a lot of wool yarn to whomever would like to help knit some beanies for humanitarian aid. We will learn the basics first, and beanies next. Beanies are a really fun project, and make a great gift for the ski bum in the family. Plus, helping someone else while learning something new is definitely a bonus! Leave a comment here, or contact Megan Stewart (801)859-1140 for more info. This is a really fun and rewarding project. Hope to see you there.

ASL
Denise Ivory will be teaching a fun, interactive ASL class on a Tuesday evening at 7PM coming up. We don't have a final date quite yet, but we will keep you posted. Denise is an excellent teacher and this class will be a blast!

Relief Society General Broadcast
This will be at the stake center on Saturday, September 27th at 6PM. Refreshments will be served.

Dinner Group
If you are interested in participating in a dinner group with other couples in the ward, please call or e-mail Megan Stewart. We are looking for couples to host or just attend. Signups will be monthly. The host gets to choose the theme, meal, date, and time, maybe even an activity. Everyone can help bring something assigned by the host. This is a really fun way to get to know your neighbors.

Babysitting Swap
If you are interested in participating in a babyitting swap, please let Megan Stewart know, or leave a comment here. It will be fun and free babysitting, and with an adult you trust. How much better can it get than that?

These are all the upcoming events, groups, or activities we could think of. If there is anything left out, please let us know. We are also willing to do ads, or highlight special avcomplishments of the people in our neighborhood. Also, we want to introduce some of the new families in our neighborhood. If you know any of them and would like to highlight them, or help us do so, please e-mail megative_11@yahoo.com with more info. We want to get lots of feedback on what you want to see. So send us an e-mail or comment telling us what you like and what you want to see. Hope to hear from you soon!
