You must have your money and orders in to Alli Howe by November 1st, 2009. Checks can be made out to Alli Howe. If you can't find me on Sunday, please give your money to a member of the RS presidency.

Enrichment is out. Meetings are in!

During the General Relief Society Meeting we learned that "Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment" will no longer be used. So if you have been struggling with the transistion from "Homemaking" to "Enrichment" you had better pay attention to this post.

We have been counseled to refer to these are simply "Relief Society Meetings." The priorities for these meetings have been listed by the Relief Society General Presidency as:

Homemaking
Marriage and family
Provident living and self-reliance
Temples and family history
Sharing the gospel
Compassionate service
