*Progressive Dinner* - October 16th @ 6:00pm

Sisters! The Relief Society will be having a Progressive Dinner on Tuesday, October 16th at 6:00pm. In addition to eating good food, this activity will also give us an opportunity to serve. Please bring something to donate to the missionaries for a missionary goodie basket, and also something to donate to the Women’s Crisis Shelter (baby things, women’s clothes, toiletries). Please meet at the church between 5:30pm and 5:45pm to carpool. RR sisters meet at Umpqua Bank to leave at 5:30pm. If you are unable to meet at the church to carpool and would like to come directly to the dinner, the order of houses for the dinner will be Sister Farmer’s, Sister Allen’s, and Sister Lathen’s, with about 45 minutes at each house. (All homes located in SW GP nearby Redwood Elementary.) Childcare will be available at the Griffith's home and you can drop off kids there starting at 5:30pm.  We hope to see you all there! :) 

*Food Preservation Class* - September 25th @ 6:30pm

Sister Jarvie will be hosting the event at her home on September 25th at 6:30pm.  There will be demonstrations for both canning and dehydrating. Food-themed prizes will be raffled off for those in attendance. Due to limiting parking space, carpooling with other sisters would be helpful. Hope to see you there!
