RELIEF SOCIETY NEWS FROM OUR WVC 4TH WARD NEWSLETTER

(Spring Breeze from Shabby Princess Scrapbooking)
   We had a fun evening browsing through the huge variety of used books donated to our Relief Society Book Exchange in April. It was fun to take some ‘new’ ones home to read and enjoy the blessing of literacy in our lives. We appreciate Sister Holman and Sister Ashley Mabon spearheading this event. Thanks, too, to Tiffany Bentley and Kaitlyn Rosenlof for being there for our children.
   Special belated thanks go to Brother Stott, BrotherMcLauglan, and SethMcLaughlan for spending time with the children in our stake so that the sisters could enjoy the March Stake Relief Society Birthday commemoration.
    We would like to invite you to our May Relief Society Activity.  We will be meeting on Tuesday, May 10 at 7pm in the Cultural Hall (gym).  We will be doing a craft. By taking a candlestick holder and a plate we will be making a renovated cake plate.  We will also be decorating cupcakes to take home on your new cake plate.  Whether you come for the craft, the cupcakes, or both we hope to see you there!
   Our condolences go out to Crissy and Anthony Hansen on the passing of their infant son, Benjamin, as well as to the Rosenlof family.  We’d also like to extend our sympathies to Sister Joan Johnson and her family on the recent passing of her husband, Clark.
    We’d like to thank those who have helped with both funeral luncheons in any way, and for additional thoughtful acts of kindness rendered in their behalf.
   It was interesting to learn that our West Valley Stake donated the most food in our district for the recent Scout food drive. Our ward collected about 350 pounds of food. No wonder we are so blessed!
   Appreciation and high fives go to the exceptional army of volunteers who sawed, chopped, dragged, lugged and hefted trees, shrubs, and a variety of debris into the dumpsters that magically appear and disappear each spring through the efforts of our priesthood brethren. The lunch in the Bowen Bowry was delicious and also very much appreciated. We have an abundance of good cooks!
   We’d like to extend a warm welcome to the many new neighbors who have moved into our ward boundaries and extend an invitation for you to join with us in our meetings and activities.  
   Thank you, sisters, for your renewed efforts in visiting. Remember that a contact, whether personal, text, phone, or note, help build unity and trust. When we build friendships, we build our community.
