President Gordon B. Hinckley's Challenge and Promise

President Gordon B. Hinckley said in a

worldwide leadership training meeting:

“I am convinced there is no other organization anywhere to match the Relief Society of this Church.

If they will be UNITED and speak with ONE VOICE,

Their STRENGTH will be INCALCULABLE!”

Relief Society - A Restoration of an Ancient Form

RELIEF SOCIETY

“A Restoration of an Ancient Pattern”


Although the name may be modern date,

the institution is of ANCIENT ORIGIN.

We were told by our martyred prophet

that the same organization EXISTED

in the church ANCIENTLY.”

Relief Society Dinner and Program

On Tuesday, 17 January 2012,
we had our New Year theme 
"Spiritual Rags to Spiritual Robes"
event...
In spite of the weather - our first real snow storm of the year...
nearly 50 sisters attended our dinner and program...
THANK YOU to ALL who made this all possible...
Home made soups made by Relief Society Presidency...
Yummy Homemade braided breads by Diane Groves...
Colorful --- awesome salad by Meridel Barden...
Fantastic Cupcakes made by Heidi Stott, Jennifer Sherratt, Diane Groves
Decorations were done by Mona Okelberry
and our incredible YOUNG WOMEN who watch all the little children
so that all the mothers could enjoy the dinner and program...
We had 8 sisters create a different table setting...
The fun part...was to see how DIFFERENT 
each table setting was...

Janie Toren's table setting
However, Janie...we had to take off the beautiful
gold plates, because there was no room left
to place the bread and salads...
Should have taken the picture BEFORE we had to 
remove them...

 Shawna Wood - had a two sided message
for her center-piece!
LOVED IT!

Sabrina Dobson had this beautiful look!
Meridel Barden's Single Rose pattern...
Loved the little rose...on each plate!
Jill Normandeau's SUNNY YELLOW!
LOVED the flowers and little YELLOW BIRD!
Melanie Labrum's table with BEAUTIFUL
FLOWERS! Nothing like FLOWERS to turn a wintery
night...into SPRING!

Grace Guest, also, had a gorgeous setting...
but, I forgot to take another picture...
I was waiting for her to bring a new
center piece...cause the other one left no room
for bread and salad, either...
Hard to see it in this picture...
but this was her setting...
Sitting around her table are:

The sisters behind this table...I FORGOT
to take their PICTURE! I am so sorry!

and I can't tell who else is at that table!
Again...my apologies!
