The Best Relief Society Meeting Ever!

We hope that you have cleared your calendar for Thursday evening, November 5th, NEXT WEEK! You will not want to miss out on one of my favorite nights of all......Christmas Enrichment. (yes, we are still going to call it that). We are Simplifying Christmas for you!

The evening will start at 6:30 with some of our members most favorite Christmas morning recipes. All you have to do is come and enjoy (and bring your dish if you signed up:). The Young Women have been big players in the decorating of the tables. I'm sure you can get some ideas from them as well. Can you smell the Gingerbread??

Next, we will have two of the most amazing ladies I know, teach us some fast, simple and incredibly creative gift ideas for family and friends. Prudie Hyland and Christi Lloyd have been working over a month to prepare their class. It will be one that you will wish you could video and refer to for years to come. Be on time so that you can put your name in for a drawing of some of the gifts they've made.

Have you ever wondered how to wrap gifts like the professionals? Well, you will come away from the next class will skills that could get you a job Gift-Wrapping for Neimans!
Karen Nielsen is one of the best to teach this class. How to do it on a budget.....thinking outside the box..... on up to high end. We will even learn how to tie bows. Really, you will be able to do it, I promise.

We are asking you to dig in your attics or closets and bring your Christmas Stockings. We all want to hear the stories behind them and maybe get some new ideas for ourselves. Also, if you have any items that you have made for gifts, bring them. This is the time to brag a little!

Last but not least, we are putting together Missionary Stockings. We would love you to bring something you have on hand that will brighten their Christmas. How we love our Missionaries!

A Nursery will be provided for the kiddos, so you have no excuse not to come. We can't wait to see you all and share the spirit of the season with each other. See you there......
