Service Auction

The upcoming service auction is looking to be a fantastic and fun night. Honestly, you don't want to miss this event. 

Tuesday, January 19th at 7 PM at the ward house.

This activity captures the essence of sisterhood and the purposes of the Relief Society. So...t he first rule of the auction is one must be willing to give, but much more importantly, willing to receive. Don't be too stubborn or proud to let someone clean for you, cook for you, etc. Plus...it will not feel good for the donator to have their offer refused. 

1- Bid Money will be distributed at the event based on your answers to a questionnaire given at the beginning of the night. Don't be late!!

2- The Questionnaire will ask about your behaviors over the last few days, weeks or months in such areas as physical care, spiritual development, service, financial habits, personal development, etc. 

3- Do It Now. It is not, not, not too late to start doing things in any of the areas described above. Every little bit will put more Bid Money in your purse. 


4- DONATE. We can't have an auction with nothing to buy. We all have something to give another. Below is a list to get your thoughts going.
