{Ward BBQ}

Saturday was our annual ward BBQ up at Richard Rollins Park. There were so many different activities to take a part in. We had volleyball, bean bag toss, croquet, soccer, and basketball. The food was delicious. A specials thanks to all of those that worked so hard to put it all together.

{prop 8}

Just a reminder... Saturday is day one for our participation in the Prop 8 campaign. We are meeting in the parking lot of Terrace Hills Middle School at 9:00am for instructions and assignments. Tonight I received badges and pamphlets for the cause. Please respond to this e-mail to let me know if you will attend or not. Please invite others to help. It would be helpful to bring a clipboard to use if you have one/some. Here is a sample script to become familiar with... Identification Script Hello, I’m _________ and we’re (walking)(phoning) precincts today for the the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign. Have you heard of Proposition 8? [If no, explain the following points]: Proposition 8 is an amendment to the state constitution that says, "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." It is the same wording as in Proposition 22 in 2000 that was passed by 61% of the people. It was overturned by a 4-3 vote of the California Supreme Court and that’s why it’s on the ballot as a constitutional amendment. A Yes vote re-establishes traditional marriage as the law. A No vote allows the legalization of same-sex marriage. What’s At Stake? "Now it is not common that the voice of the people desireth anything contrary to that which is right, but it is common for the lesser part of the people to desire that which is not right; therefore this shall ye observe and make it your law –to do your business by the voice of the people. "And if the time comes that the voice of the people doth choose iniquity, then is the time that the judgments of God will come upon you; yea, then is the time he will visit you with great destruction even as he has hitherto visited this land." --Mosiah 29:26-27 Thank you so much for your sacrifice in this very important issue! kathy bowler
