Monthly Relief Society Meeting

We want to help keep your New Year's resolution. We will be doing yoga (so dress accordingly and bring a mat if you have one but it's not needed) taught by our very own Jamie C - she describes herself as a non-yoga person. She wants to show you that anyone can do yoga and it's a good form of exercise. We also hope to get sisters talking about when and where they're going to go walking/jogging/running to help us through these winter months. We will also be munching on healthy snacks. Nursery will be provided for children 18 months and older. 6:30 pm at the Church bldg.
