RS Announcements 2.28.2010

What a beautiful day! Let's hope the sun decides to stay around....I still have piles of snow on the north side of my house that haven't melted yet!

The bishopric asks that the sisters become familiar with:
Provident Living website: www.providentliving.org
and all the resources available here.

Thank YOU! to everyone who helped with Molly Tressler's Funeral. The Relief Society Presidency would like to thank everyone for their assistance in the Tressler funeral this past week. Lots of great foot was brought to the family and the luncheon thereafter.

Thank YOU! to the sisters who helped with the Storehouse Assignment. Several sisters gave time to meet our extensive storehouse assignment -- either by helping or providing transportation/or childcare services. Thank you for giving of yourselves so others could benefit...you went beyond the call of duty!

Several of our sisters are moving in March! Stacie Orvin, Talia Terry, Amanda Cracroft all moving away from the area for new jobs. We have enjoyed them in the ward and will miss them!!

Great Missionary Opportunity! Saints United Choir Directed by Gladys Knight. Coming on Friday, March 19th, this Grammy-Award winning choir will hold an uplifting fireside at the Bailey's Bridge Stake Center. Two sessions: 5:30 pm and 8:15 pm. This is a missionary opportunity and is a ticket-only event. Tickets are free, but you'll need to bring a non-member or less-active member to attend the event. Members are encouraged to bring friends from all cultures as the music focus is multi-cultural. Contact Bryce Fawcett at bryce.fawcett@gmail.com to sign-up for tickets. This event will attract hundreds so be sure to carpool and come early; while a ticket gets you in the door, it does not guarantee a specific seat location. Missionary referrals come out of this event and will be followed up on with a call, a visit material and DVD's relevant to the event.
