RS Birthday Party

What a fun night!  

Tonight we celebrated our Relief Society Birthday with a party!  

Our theme:

‘Remember the past, learn from it.  

Contemplate the future, prepare for it.  

Live in the present, serve in it.  Therein lies our strength.’   

We had two presentations, three speakers, and lots and lots of food.  

 We had to lose the craft because of time, and our singing number ended up being all of us singing together, but we were able to collect almost two hundred dresses to send to two wards in the Philippines, and one sister was able to discover a new talent.  

All in all it was a great night spent as sisters and friends!

Stop & Swap Clothing Exchange

Well, what can I say?  The Clothing Exchange ended up being a lot of fun!   Those that had, gave.  Those that needed, took.  We had lots of time to laugh and talk story and in the end we brought in pizza and talked and laughed some more.   We are very pleased with this first effort to have an annual clothing exchange.  Bonus:  We had several less actives and a non-member stop by and shop, a visitor stop in to ask directions, and a family that is contemplating moving here stop by to ask questions.   We have learned a few things about doing this, and I think we will be able to get the word out better next time.  All is good :-)
