Bring your kids and come join us in learning about fire prevention and fire survival in a hands-on way! No Cost!
Kids will see a burned out room, watch short videos that teach fire safety, experience a heated door to simulate fire on the other side, and get to practice calling 9-1-1. What a great opportunity for interactive learning.

The Provo MTC is looking for volunteers who can Skype our missionaries going to Idaho. "These missionaries will teach you a short, 30 minute lesson (English speaking), and all you need to do is be yourself and participate like you would in a home teaching visit. These lessons are wonderful opportunities for the missionaries to fulfill their purpose in bringing others closer to Christ, and we are so grateful for the support that we receive as we strive to prepare these missionaries to teach around the world."

It is really easy and they are really needing more volunteers. They send out an email about once a week listing the times they need volunteers and you respond if you can help at any of those times. Email your contact information to Talia CasaresTa@mtc.byu.edu or Jared SellJB@mtc.byu.edu and tell them you want to be added to the Idaho Skype list.

Ski/Board Lessons at Bogus Basin:

As most of you know, we the Vogt Family, are volunteer coordinators of the Friday Ski/Board lesson program at Bogus Basin. This program is for any student that is available to ski/board on the Friday(10:00am) lesson days. Registration documents and forms are posted on Google Drive. Link is included below.
