Relief Society Christmas Service Exchange
Thursday Dec 3 7:00-9:00PM at the WU Bldg.
We'll have a speaker, a musical number and some good food.
Please bring a "white elephant" style service you can give -- it could be written on a notecard, or be the actual item -- wrap it or place it in a gift bag, and we'll exchange them that night (of course there could be trades and steals to add to the fun!)
Please let Lacie Banton or a member of the RS presidency know if you will need childcare that evening.
Invite a friend!
