We are unaware of any other needs but if anyone knows of some one who needs our assistance, please let the UPOA office or one of our representatives know of the situation. We still have a lot of candles for sale in the upoa office. These are our fundraiser, so we will be able to have money for the auxiliary charity. They are the winter fragrances, such as pumpkin patch, Christmas memories, caramel apple, sage citrus, and mistletoe etc. They would make terrific Christmas gifts. We are looking forward to convention this winter, in sunny St. George. The theme for this year will be Western. Please encourage your husbands to attend and enjoy the warmth and friendships. They will be having some classes that the spouses may be very interested in learning about. Yes, we are invited to attend their training. As this year comes to close and the time gets busier, I urge each of you to take a look at your families, friends and the things we take for granted. There are many in this world who are less fortunate, even in our own country. We never know when the day will come that we may loose what we have been blessed with. Weather it be the job, our friends, family or as simple a thing as our health. Show those YOU care about, how much they mean to you. Happy Holidays, wishing you and your families the best.
