I didn't get any response to the new date (this Saturday) for assembling the kids 72-hour kits... so I'll give it another try...
Saturday, June 13th...72-hour Kit Family Activity!
I thought we could meet at the grass space on the Sweet Corn/Winter Wheat/Barley junction. I figure 7pm or so, after dinner. It stays light so late, I thought it would be nice to enjoy those long summer evenings.
I have some tables I can set-up, and if the weather is bad... we can do it at my house. So bring your family...visit...and put together 72-hour kits!
If we want to combine our efforts...I have added a list of food from the kits I have. It think I will just replenish it, and keep it the same. I have to make 6 full kits either way, so I can give a cost per kit. (If you are interested in particular items, I can pick up some of the things at Costco, and divide the cost per item. I will price things out at Costco and Wal-mart this week, and post the prices.)
oatmeal packet, orange juice
cheese crackers, meat stick, fruit snacks
beef ravioli cup
protein bar, orange juice (powder packet)
Vienna sausages, granola bar
salmon, mayo, wheat crackers
Pop-tarts, orange Juice
meat stick, fruit cup, raisins, lemonade (powder packet)
Beans & Wieners, M&M's
I can print out the meal plans, and also get the Ziploc's
We can also include any other areas of our kits if people are interested. I need to rotate my kids clothes, but if people have any ideas of things we could do as a group, that would be fun. (personal hygiene items, survival/emergency items, carrying/tote ideas, etc.)
I will bring drinks, so if your interested...post your RSVP and a snack you can bring, then we will know how many drinks/snacks to have. I welcome anyone that's interested! (and any ideas of additional assembly items or activities)
Let me know if there are any questions. I'm excited to get together.

*On a side note... the food co-op always needs volunteers in the warehouse. If anyone is interested, I would love to carpool up and take a shift. I'm not sure about tomorrow, but I would love to plan on a month soon.
I am still working on a local distribution site here in Harvest Hills... I will keep everyone posted. We are close to having the numbers, I just need to know how many could help at the site each month. If we all can take turns, it will be less work. My older girls (8 and 9) are interested in volunteering as well, so keep in mind 'the more the merrier'.. thanks!

I signed up with the co-op this month and would be willing to help at the site if we got one here.
I would volunteer here too. I actually came onto this blog to get the link to the co-op because I want to sign up. thanks for the 72 hr. kit activity. I will talk to you in person to see what we need but count me in for a snack!
