To Help You Stay Informed...

Book Club
It appears that many have not finished reading our current selection, The Help by Kathryn Stockett, but would really like to participate fully in the group discussion.  That being said, we are pushing back the date for our book club meeting.  In an effort to keep it simple and since we have a busy month with the Stake - Celebration for Sisterhood activity and the Stake Day at the Temple we will just skip meeting this month and we'll meet next month, Thursday, April 21, 7pm.  That should give everyone plenty of time to finish reading so our discussion will be more enriching and interesting.

Service Project: bring non-perishable food items and toiletries for local food pantry
