When released to work, the frenzy began. Shams went over pillowcases in record time.
You can see the covered pillows stacking up as the work progressed.
The number bandied about for pillowcases – 1100. We ended with not only plenty of extra pillow shams, but several worked furiously at machines producing more during the great stuff-a-thon.
We bundled the extra pillow shams to send.
Following the stuffing, we packed the pillowcases for mailing and loaded them onto a trailer. Postage well spent:
It looks like moving day!
No women’s meeting is complete without something kitschy cute or food. Knowing that some might not stay for the provided luncheon, the leadership provided darling sacks for take-away. It totally screams “Relief Society”, with that little something extra the world knows as a “woman’s touch”.
Sack lunch bags to make any one want to dig in!
Most people would not think of a women’s conference meant to celebrate the birth of their organization as a wonderful time to provide service, but that’s just what you get from the area leadership here. They are a dedicated group of women, passionate about charity and service. They put together one of the greatest events I will probably attend all year.
The gathered women rejoice in serving others and sharing in fellowship with one another.
Happy 169th birthday, Relief Society!

How wonderful to have such a large group and be able to accomplish so much! I think that there is no better way to celebrate RS than to serve and be united in a cause.
