Around Town

From time to time we learn of activities or events that you may be interested in knowing about.  While they aren't neccessarily things that we would endorse in a Relief Society meeting it's still good to share things that might be of interest to one another.

That said, there are two things I'll share today that might catch your eye:

Let's Go to the Movies:
Sister Angel wanted to recommend a good movie which is currently playing at the Oviedo Marketplace and recommends you see it before it's gone. Following is her email:

The Oviedo Regal Cinema has a movie playing called Letters to God. It is a very good movie with a great message. St. Lukes sent an email out to everyone last week encouraging them to come out and support the movie because the Oviedo cinema talked of discontinuing its showing if they didn’t bring in certain numbers last weekend. They ended up leaving it due to so much support and filling the theatres. So, it’s playing again this weekend and they’ve asked us to spread the word about the movie so that we can keep it out there.

Please try to take the time to go see this wonderful Christian movie THIS WEEKEND! Although it opened in the Top 10 last weekend, the overall box office receipts were not as anticipated, especially considering the high quality of the movie and the incredibly positive reviews it has received from moviegoers. We need to send a message to Hollywood that good Christian movies are sustainable or they will stop making them! You can view the movie trailer at http://www.letterstogodthemovie.com./ The movie is rated PG.


Calling all Book Lovers:

For those who are new to the area you may not know that the Scholastic Book Company has a warehouse in Lake Mary.  Several times a year they open it to the public and sell directly from the shelves at 50% off or more. (For those with school-aged kids it's the same items you see in the book flyers that come home.)

The next sale is: May 13 - 22.  Check the website for times and to sign up and get discout coupons for your purchases (on top of the discounts).  www.scholastic.com/bookfairs/warehouse.  Enter code: DIRECT and you can register online before you go for a FAST-CART PASS. 

The warehouse moved locations and is now at: 38 Skyline Drive, Suite 1020, Lake Mary, FL 32746 (It's easy to find. Drive the back way to the old stake center in Lake Mary and then pass the stake center on the right and turn right at the light onto Lake Emma Dr. Then look for signs on the left. Mapquest it to be sure though.)

HOME STORAGE DOWNLOADS

For those of you who would like copies of all of the handouts we receive each month from Joanna's home storage class. You can download them here. They are great handouts to have in a binder so that you can refer to them often. She has put together recipes, general info, great tips and a few spiritual quotes to remind us of the importance of provident living in our lives.
