In December we gathered at Julie Keenan's home for a night of service, socializing and feasting on holiday fare. When Debbie Marcantano suggested that our Christmas activity should be service oriented, she was definitely inspired! On December 14th, our sisters turned out in huge numbers, ready to put their hearts and hands to work. In just over an hour, we were able to make 76 scarves to provide warmth to women in Boston without homes and 6 warm blankets, sewed, stuffed and tied, in which these women can wrap their babies.
In addition, Becky Cyr organized missionary boxes to send to the sisters and elders from our ward. During our service hour a group of women put these boxes together, using gifts that many of our sisters contributed. While working we enjoyed hot chocolate, a selection of delicious appetizers and scrumptious holiday desserts.
Following our service projects, Camille Ebert gave a short Christmas devotional and then sisters lingered in Julie's beautiful home, enjoying each other's company.
Terri Tardiff, having returned earlier in the day from the Spokane Washington Mission, stopped by. This was a wonderful opportunity to welcome her home to Boston and back to our Weston Relief Society.
