Our next Book Club will be this Tuesday - July 29th. We are reading "Prince Caspian" by C.S. Lewis. We are also reading the next 4 chapters of "Jesus the Christ." I believe that puts us at chapters 21-24 for July. We will have a potluck lunch - so bring something to share! You can sign up or just bring something.
For August we will be reading "Twelfth Angel" by Og Mandino. (I've seen it for a s low at $.75 for a used copy online at Half.com and on Amazon for as low as $1.95 plus shipping which is usually $3.49. These two sites were the only ones I've checked. Other sites may also have great prices too. We hope by planning ahead you can get some great prices on the books we're reading or that you'll be able to find them at the library.) Also of course we'll be reading the next four chapters 25 - 28.
We've changed the book club book for Sept to:"Faith in Service" complied and illustrated by Chad S. Hawkins. This is pretty new and it's been on sale at Deseret book and at Seagull. This book is about recent experiences of LDS servicemen and servicewomen. Also again "Jesus the Christ" chapters 29-32.
Out to Lunch Bunch will be going to the BYU Commons at the Cannon on August 4th. We'll meet at Pam Grange's at 11 am and carpool there.- It has recently been remodeled and is just reopening. Brian Hooper is one of the top chefs there.
Mom & me will be August 6th at Mary Kaye Ware's home - 429 South 60 West - at 10 am.
We have Enrichment coming up in Sept that you won't want to miss and for November Enrichment we will have a craft night with the YW in preparation for Christmas giving.
Any questions or if you want to sign up for anything see the binders either in R.S., YWs or Primary. Come and invite your neighbors to come too! We'd love to have you all!!
Jan Hornberger and LaDawn Ludlow

BYU dance teacher receives award
Published: July 12, 2008
PROVO — After more than 40 years teaching dance at Brigham Young University, Sara Lee Gibb recently received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Dance Education Organization at a conference in Baltimore.
"Sara Lee Gibb epitomizes the qualities implicit in the Lifetime Achievement criteria — exemplary leadership, research, scholarship and service to dance education," said the group's executive director, Jane Bonbright. "This is the highest award given nationally by the National Dance Education Organization for the contribution to dance education."
Gibb is the dean of BYU's College of Health and Human Performance.
Gibb's work as a performer, choreographer and scholar has influenced dance education around the world. She served as president of the National Dance Education Organization for four years. As a coordinator for the $700,000 Research in Dance Education project, Gibb oversaw the efforts of field researchers in reviewing dance literature and research from 1926 to present and publishing a research review.
A professor of dance who has served as chairwoman of the dance department and associate dean of the College of Health and Human Performance, Gibb developed the Dance Teacher Preparation program at BYU, founded the BYU Children's Dance Program and created courses in dance methodology, body therapies and pedagogy.
She served eight years as a member of the board of directors of the Utah Arts Council, including three years as chair of the board. She also worked with the National Association of Schools of Dance as chair of the Commission on Accreditation and currently serves as vice president.
"Sara Lee is truly one of the most prominent leaders of dance in American higher education," said Sam Hope, executive director of the National Association of Schools of Dance. "Her leadership in various artistic and educational settings, her cultural vision and her personal integrity are all well-known in the field."
A BYU alumnus and a member of the BYU faculty since 1965, Gibb has completed teaching residencies in Japan and Korea and has taught in China. Over the past 11 years, she has fostered a unique partnership with dance administrators and artists throughout China. She also accompanied the BYU Dancers' Company on two international tours, teaching dance in South America and Australia.
