Moving to the ward website

I was informed today that I will no longer be able to do this blog. The stake president informed the bishop that he doesn't want any other websites except for the ward website. I will be posting on that site (as soon as I am trained and since I am going out of town, it won't be this week) so you will be able to go to that soon and see the same info as I had on here. Soooo, get your member numbers and confirmation date so you can access the ward website and you can continue to know what's going on.

I will leave this up until the end of the month so that you can access the calendar on the side bar. Please feel free to check it for upcoming activities;)

Lunch bunch is this Wednesday at Ashlee Page's home at 11:30. Bring a potluck to share and kids are welcome. And on Thursday, we have scrapbooking at Candy Rendon's home from 9-12. Friday is temple night at 6:30 but try to go any time that day!!

Welcome Sisters!

In order to always keep sisters in the ward informed, I decided to do a blog where you can come and check out what is going on with Relief Society. So even if you miss a week or don't see the binders, you can always come here to find out what's going on.
