Our April Relief Society Meeting focused on favorite local day trips and weekend get aways. The success of the event was truly due to the efforts of many sisters. We began our meeting with a devotional by Roz Hawk who encouraged us to find uplifting, joyful ways to spend our time. After a short New England travel video, Julie Marriott shared with us her experience enjoying adventures with her children throughout New England. She even gave us the top ten reasons why we are lucky to live in and explore New England. In addition, she shared her favorite places to visit and explore in our area. Jenny Zwick then shared with us top things to do in Boston, based on her many years of living in the city. We learned of favorite restaurants, parks and shopping. Whitney Fink highlighted the Cape Ann area, which included castles, beaches and farm stands and Jamie Larsen shared with us her favorite adventures on Cape Cod, based on her summer spent there with her family last year. Debbie Marcantano spotlighted Rhode Island with an emphasis on Block Island and Newport. Elisha Rotar finished off our presentations with ideas for exploring Maine. Each presentation was accompanied with a slide show of local spots. We then enjoyed a lunch of favorite local dishes, including blueberry bisque, clam chowder, crab rounds, cranberry bread, apple cake and Boston cream pie. With light houses and shells decorating the lunch tables, our sisters enjoyed a morning completely dedicated to our beloved home in New England!
