August's Relief Society Activity

Thank you to all those who helped plan, who donated to, and who came to our Harvest activity. We were able to learn some new techniques on home-made yogurt, dehyrdating, canning, flash-freezing, and vacuum food storage methods. It was a fun night and we were able to enjoy some yummy samples!
