Lehi Foundation Expands Educational Support for Single Mothers: The Live Your Dream Foundation, based in Lehi, helps single mothers across Utah pursue higher education through scholarships, mentorship, and family support programs. Founded in 2010, the nonprofit also provides care packages, school supplies, holiday assistance, and community events to help families build long-term stability while parents work toward educational and career goals. Foundation leaders say their mission is to remove barriers that prevent single mothers from creating brighter futures for themselves and their children.

Sometimes the best weekend plans are just a short drive outside the city. Just minutes from Lehi, Beehive State Honey offers a chance to slow down, visit a working honey farm, and see where local honey begins.

This family-run honey farm welcomes visitors to see the apiary, learn how honey goes from hive to jar, taste raw local honey, and even schedule an interactive farm tour where you can get an up-close look at the bees. It's the kind of place that's equal parts fun and educational, and you'll probably leave with a new appreciation for the tiny pollinators that keep so much of Utah growing.

It's a great outing for families, curious kids, couples, or anyone who enjoys discovering local businesses. Pick up a jar of fresh Utah honey before you head home, and don't be surprised if it becomes your new favorite stop whenever you're in the area.

No meetings this week!
