11/1/11 Relief Society Temple Night

We will have a Vegas Valley Ward Relief Society Temple Night on Tuesday, November 1st, the 6:30 session.  Our goal is to do work for family names provided to us by sisters in our Ward.  Do you have some?  Do you need some help getting names ready for our Temple night?  If so, let a member of the Relief Society Presidency know.  Join us . . .

December Relief Society Meeting

Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 6th - our Christmas Relief Society Meeting and dinner will be held at 6:30 p.m.

We will be participating in a canned food drive to help support Shade Tree and their urgent need for canned goods.  The Shade Tree meets two needs.  First, homeless or abused women and children are offered immediate protection and safety.  Second, they help their clients return to a life of stability, dignity and self-reliance.  They are very appreciative of our support this holiday season.  Our own LDS Humanitarian Service Room has suggested this charity and has encouraged us to reach out to help support regional/local needs in Las Vegas this year.  We will begin collecting the canned goods shortly, finishing up our food drive the night of our Christmas Relief Society Meeting.

In addition, we would like to support the Humanitarian Service Room here in Las Vegas by having a fabric drive.  They are in need of any fabric they can use to make quilts . . . flannel, fleece, cotton.  You may purchase the fabric or gather what you have at home.  The Humanitarian Service Room is located at the LDS Welfare Services Complex in North Las Vegas.  They do impressive work there . . . more to follow about that later.  In the meantime, gather your fabric. 

What better way to celebrate Christmas than by helping care for the poor and needy?
