OCT. 20 Relief Society Activity


Sisters,
This Saturday, October 20th, will be our Relief Society Saturday Soiree.  It will be a morning full of learning, fun and food.  We hope you all will be able to join us.
Our activity will be from 10am to 1pm.
The Temple Plaque activity will begin at 10am.  We have had many ladies sign up for this and it should be a lot of fun.  Please remember that the Temple Plaque activity costs $10.  If you have not already paid your money, you are welcome to drop it off to me (2983 W. Hialeah Rd) today or tomorrow.  Or give me a call (801-906-9092) and I would be happy to pick it up from you.  If neither of those options work, please just make sure you bring your money on Saturday.

The Cake Pop demonstration will begin at 11am.  We are excited to be shown how to make these delicious treats.  Julie Romero thought she would have a couple different flavors to sample so come and check it out.

Lunch will be at 12 noon.  If you don't want to do a craft but would like to come and spend a little time with the sisters, please come for our lunch.  It will be light and simple but full of great people.  We will also have some fleece blankets to tie, to help keep your fingers busy,  that will be donated at the end of the activity.
We welcome you any time during our activity and hope you all can make it.
We will see you Saturday!
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Sarah Holman
