Thanks to everyone who filled out a RS survey on Sunday. The information on this survey will be used to plan RS meetings in the future, as well as identify sisters who can contribute skills, talents and special interests to our RS group. If you have one but didn’t get a chance to review it, please take some time this week to fill it out and return it to a RS presidency member next Sunday. If you didn’t get one, you can email Karen Rich at Devinandkarenrich@verizon.net for a copy, or pick one up in Relief Society next week.

RS Announcements 10.31.2010
Happy Halloween! Hope you had a festive weekend and a relaxing Sunday. The weather was perfect!
We had a great lesson today in combined Priesthood and Relief Society meeting by Tish Heflebower who was teaching in her role as the Stake Employment Specialist. She provided a lot of good information about how to cope during a job loss whether that's in immediate family or happening to friends/neighbors and she shared important resources. Tish also asked for every one's help -- if you know of a job that's available at your place of employment, email her the job posting and it will get posted to the LDS job site. Your name doesn't have to be associated with it unless you chose to do so. Send the information, or any questions to Tish at Tish.heflebower@gmail.com
The Kennedy's have volunteered to head up the volleyball team, so if you're interested in participating, please contact Tyler or Mollee.
