RS Activities/Nights - What "clubs" do you want to see?

Hello sisters! We are making some changes to what our RS Night Activities look like and I’m excited to tell you all about it!

For starters, the big monthly activities will be less frequent. Don’t be worried though. We still have plenty in store for you. J We will still have those activities, just not as frequent as they’ve been in the past. In fact, we have an activity coming up in April, which I’m pretty excited about. I’ll fill you in on that in a minute. Since our big activities will be less frequent, we are planning to do more small activities, like the Galentine’s or the Easter parties. For those who were in attendance, you know that those were fun, casual nights of games, yummy treats, and socializing.



We would like to form small groups or clubs that will meet on a more frequent basis. The great thing about these clubs is that they are based on need. We’d like to form clubs based on your interest. These clubs can be anything from hiking club, to Ensign Club, to crocheting club. We already have an idea for our very first club and we hope that some of you will want to join! It is the “Try Something New” Club. This club will be all about experiencing new things. Every time that this group meets they will be trying something new (ex: oil painting, eating sushi, making soap, etc.).

In order to get these groups started, we’d like your input. Tell us what club you’d like to see. If there is something you’re interested in, let us know. We’ll see what we can do about getting that club started. Also, let us know if you have a service you can provide for a club. The “Try Something New” Club will need some people willing to teach a skill. Let us know what skill you can/are willing to teach. We’d love to hear all of your input on this as we are still in the planning process. One last note on clubs: Don’t feel obligated to attend every time a club meets. If a club meets twice a month and you can only attend every other month, that’s just fine. We just want to give you plenty of opportunities to do what you love and to do it with all your favorite people!

Now on to our activity in April, which should be pretty great. We are going to be having a Graduation Celebration of sorts. We have several sisters in our ward graduating this spring and we’d like to celebrate this huge accomplishment! Not only are we going to celebrate, but also we are going to provide a networking opportunity. On Thursday, April 28th at the church we will be meeting to celebrate and network all at once. This is a great opportunity for everyone, not just for those who are graduating. We need help in order to make this a great night for all in attendance. Some of you may have been working in your given field for awhile. You can help us out. If you are willing to answer questions, share tips, etc. about your field of work, we’d love your help.

Thanks sisters! We look forward to seeing your smiling faces at these upcoming activities. J

Much Love,

Mandi Rolfe {RS Night Chair}

"Relief" Society Activities


As each of us meet the daily, weekly and monthly task of trying to keep our lives balanced, we have choices to make about how and where we spend our oh-so-precious time.  We have also learned that what we are most in need of may change just our many responsibilities and challenges do.  Sometimes so slowly it hardly registers, and other times as fast as it takes us to blink.  As a Relief Society (emphasis on Relief) we have been blessed with a organization to assist us in this balancing act.  Consider the following purpose of Relief Society:
"Relief Society prepares women for the blessings of eternal life by helping them increase their faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and help those in need". (Church handbook 9.1.1)
In an effort to follow these inspired guidelines, we hope that the activities we plan for our Relief Society will reflect ways each of you can be strengthened in all aspects of your lives, spiritually, physically, mentally and socially.   As we prayerfully plan and consider the needs of each of you, it is also our hope that there will be something for everyone, and that that precious time you might be willing to share with us will provide the relief and assistance you are looking for.
We love to hear ideas and feedback concerning our activities, past and future so please let me and the activities committee know your thoughts!
With much love,
Amber Ellis (RS Second Counselor)
