STAKE RELIEF SOCIETY

On Sunday Sisters Fran and Betty were released from their Stake Relief Society callings as Councellors to Sis. Louella. We wish to thank them for all the wonderful work they did to help us fulfill our callings. We will miss them but it will be nice to see Sis Fran in our own ward more often (if she ever stops travelling)

Sisters Evelyn Hatchard and Katie Mackay have been called as the new councellors. We are looking forward to meeting with them soon.

We have been invited to attend the Stake Relief Society Service activity on Saturday the 23rd May at 8.00 -9.30. Donations of Journals, Photo Albums and Recipe books would be appreciated to donate to the victims of the Victorian Bush Fires.
