2013 Planning

Last night for mutual we had a planning night. We split up our classes with the presidency member over them. Each group had a calendar that told them which service and miscellaneous mutual nights they were in charge of. Then each group planned out their activities. The leaders will be in charge of planning personal progress nights. Next week we will meet with the YM and do the same thing with our combined activities.

I was impressed with how quickly we were able to plan and the young women pick out some great activities.  I think it will be a great year!
