September:

WELCOME BACK! We hope that everyone had a great summer, and we're very excited to start a new season of Enrichment activities!

In an effort to simplify all of our lives, we have decided as a committee to continue on only with our most popular groups from last season. As such, we are bidding adieu to the Dance Group, Fitness Group, and BYOCPN (Bring Your Own Craft or Project Night). We hope that this will help to make everyone's schedule just a little less crazy.

However, we still would like to have groups and activities that are of interest to everyone, so if you don't see anything that appeals to you, are interested in starting a group, know some other people who would be interested in attending, and are willing to take on responsibility for running and organizing the group - we would love to support you! As long as everything is in-line with church standards and is okayed by the Bishop and RS presidency we will help advertise and open it up to the sisters for you! Just come talk to Abby Metz.

Otherwise, we can't wait to see you out at this month's activities!

Even if you dont know the first thing about sewing, as long as you have a willing heart, hands, and a little time to spare on the 21st (even if you cant stay the entire time) we have a great need for YOU to join us!
