 Santa greeting the volunteers!

 There were several favorite Santa pix, here are a few.  I just ordered the pictures tonight but I will need help when they arrive to assemble them in to ornaments for the families.

 We are missing several volunteers in this picture, they must have been working ;)

 Audrey organized a wonderful scavenger hunt for the older children!

 B & Mary aka Major Bernheim did a fabulous job running games for the older children.

 Wii dancing is always a hit!

 What is a children's party without a bounce house?

 Alicia and her family came up with and ran the children's games, we are so thankful!

 Craft time, thank you Amanda and Stephanie!

 Food and fellowship...

 The food crew, thank you ladies!

A Gunfighter Christmas...

These beautiful wreaths have all been made and decorated by MDG spouses.  They are made of barb wire and decorated in a variety of ways.  They sell for $20 each or $15 if you would like a plain barb wire wreath to decorate for yourself.  This wreath could certainly be decorated for year around decor.

These are one of kind.  Questions or interested in buying one?  Email us at medspouses@yahoo.com.

Hospital Decorating - DATE CHANGE!

The spouses will be decorating the hospital 

SATURDAY, December 8th, 10 am - 1 pm.  

Meet in the atrium but enter in the UCC doors 

since this will be after hours.  

Hopefully this will only take a couple of hours.  It is a fun time to decorate together and enjoy some festive music and snacks while we work.  Hope to see you there!

Children's Christmas Party Mtg

Our next meeting will be Tuesday, Nov 27 at 0930 at the chapel annex. (across from the Dog park)

All are welcome to come to the meeting. 

Head Over!

Thank you to B, Yanice & others who are volunteering time on their Saturday to work at the craft bazaar!  It's going well - stop by their booth to say hello and check out the other tables of treasures :)

Located at the Junior High in town.

Craft Bazaar SATURDAY

From 9-3 tomorrow, Saturday we will be selling our wreaths $20 at the ESC craft bazaar being held at the junior high in town.  If you can't come out to sell at least swing by and check out the booths and stop by and give us a "hoot."  We will also have ID Potato cookbooks (see photo in right side column) for sale, $5 each!  Great stocking stuffers or to include with your family members gifts.

Crud Pictures!

Friday night the Hot Shots represented the MDG spouses in all their medical glory.  We had awesome costumes and intro.  We did not win the tournament but we had a lot of fun.  We hope to have more Med Spouses out next time and keep building the spouses spirit!  Go Hot Shots!

There were 8 team and the winners were the "Gunfighter Girls."

Wreath sample...

This is the MDG spouses fundraiser for the quarter, Idaho wreaths.  This is a sample but we will be adding some greens, a bow, etc. to help it out.  Your creativity and/or willingness to help is much appreciated!  You get the gist about the shape and material for the wreath.  B is leading our efforts.  If you can come and help assemble these wreaths you are asked to wear gloves and old clothes.  Also dress for cooler temps as the supplies are in the garage.  This Tuesday and Thursday will be the first set times to assemble.  Please see email for B's number and more specifics on time/location.  I think these will be a really cool and unique item!

Aprons For Sale

Do you own a YELLOW apron yet?  This is NOT a fundraiser, we are selling these aprons at cost, actually a little under.  Last year we did iron ons, which looked pretty good but did not hold up in the wash, so this year we are having the aprons embroidered and they look GREAT!  We wear these aprons whenever we are serving in the hospital, working at the bash or selling at the craft fair.  It's a great way to represent the Hot Shots!  Cost for this apron is $20.  If you are interested in having one of your own, email Say at medspouses@yahoo.com by November 5!
