January RS Meeting: Service and Personal Health

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011
7:00pm

We will be continuing work on the file folder service project we started last activity as well as starting a new service project. In addition, Kirstin Spencer's sister is coming to do a little "Introduction to Yoga" class for us, so come prepared to exercise! If you have a yoga mat, bring it. If not, she has some extras you can use. . We will have light snacks. This is a great opportunity to invite your visiting teaching sisters to join us. Hope to see you there!

P.S. I have had a few complaints that people aren't hearing announcements. While we do all we can to announce activities in each auxiliary, we're sorry we missed you. Please know you can find information on activities in the RS newsletter, on the ward calendar, on Facebook, and the RS blog. We are in the process of planning exact dates for the activities for the rest of the year, and will get those to you as soon as we have them so you can mark your calendar.We will continue to email about activities as well, and will continue to phase out flyers for both cost and convenience purposes.
