Formerly known as Enrichment, our next Relief Society Meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 17th @ 6:30 PM.

The theme is "Created to Soar!"

Dinner will be served & a Children's Class will be provided

We have a couple of fun things coming up for Relief Society:

QUARTERLY ENRICHMENT MEETING
This Tuesday is our quarterly enrichment meeting. It's our Back 2 School Night! Come have a yummy school lunch at 6:30, complete with Kneaders' sandwiches! Following lunch, your first period class is on Time Management where we'll be taught by a panel of experts. Your second period class is an elective. You have the choice of three classes:
1. How to Be a Terrific Grandparent, Taught by Sue Jan McQueen
2. Inexpensive Things to Do with Kids, Taught by Mary Ann Tiemann
3. How to Keep Your House Clean Daily, Taught by Kim Faragher
Additionally, we'll be setting up a "swap table" at enrichment. If you have clothing, toys, Halloween costumes, accessories, or shoes that you no longer need/want, please bring them with you to enrichment. We'll get them sorted out onto the tables, and at the end of the night, everyone will have the chance to take home what they can use. Things for men, women, and children are all welcome. **Please be sure to bring things that are in good condition though.** Anything leftover will be taken to Deseret Industries.
- A children's class will be provided.

CABIN SLEEPOVER
On Oct. 9, we're having a Relief Society sleepover! We'll be staying at Lori Sanders' parents' cabin up in Timberlakes, outside of Heber City. (Its about 45 minutes from here.) The party starts at 5:00 on Friday night and will continue until Saturday at 2:00 PM. There is no cost to attend, but we're hoping that everyone can bring a dish to help with the meals. (Assignments will be made as we get closer.) If you would like to attend, please RSVP to Lori Sanders. The sooner you respond, the better chance you have of securing yourself a comfy bed... no pressure. :) When you RSVP please answer the following questions:
1. Do you plan to stay for the entire time? (This helps us plan our meals.)
2. Are you willing to sleep on a top bunk bed? :)
3. Would you prefer to car pool or drive up yourself?
Space is somewhat limited, so if you sign up but find that you're not going to be able to attend, please let Lori know.

RECIPE CLUB
Our next Recipe Club is coming up on Sept. 29 at Carrie Howse's house. Our theme is "Quick Meals in 30 Minutes or Less". If you plan to attend, remember to prepare a dish with this theme in mind and bring copies (about 12) of your recipe to share with the others.

Hope you had a fabulous sabbath, sisters!

Upcoming Enrichment Night!!

Join us for our next Enrichment meeting, where we’re taking you BACK TO SCHOOL!

EXTRA CREDIT HOMEWORK: We will be setting up tables for another “swap” at this month’s enrichment. If you have clothing, toys, Halloween costumes, accessories, or shoes that you no longer need/want, please bring them with you to enrichment. We’ll get them sorted out onto tables and at the end of the night, everyone will have the chance to take home what they can use. Things for men, women and children are all welcome. Please be sure that everything you bring is in good condition.

So about 10 women signed up but in the end only 4 of us were brave enough to hike Stewart Falls. :) Here are some photos of our hike in July.

Ready to start the hike:

The beautiful view from the trail head:
The view along the way:
The ladies on the trail. Yes, Mary is on the phone. :) She had reception the entire time and because she's very popular, she got several calls along the way.
Mary LOVES getting her picture taken. I have a couple pictures of her that are very similar to this pose:
Beautiful wildflowers:
Ninety minutes later, we made it!
Mary sports her mountain dirt. Look at the definition in that calf! :)

Thanks, ladies, for a fun hike! It will be one enrichment activity I'm sure to remember.
