Ward Conference
Ward Conference is on Sunday, January 17th. We welcome all the people from the Stake!
Gloucester Library
The Gloucester library is having a book swap for kids. For every book your child brings in until the end of January, they will give you one book buck. Then during the month of February you can use those book bucks at the library to go and pick out some different books. This sounds like a great way to get rid of the books your kids are tired of reading...and get them something new!

Playgroup
Sisters,
I talked with some of you and got an idea of what would work. I'm planning on having the 1st ward playdate on Thurs. Feb 11th at 9:30/10-11:30/noon. Basically we will be meeting once a month at 10am on the second thurs. of the month. Since Peter loves Valentines day I thought we could do a valentines exchange in Feb. Please bring a box or bag and enough valentines for each child participating. I will have the number of children participating at least one week prior. Please let me know if you and children can come. Please tell others about the event. It should be in the Feb. RS newletter. I would like to include as many sisters as I can. If you cannot leave your home during the day, but would like to come please let me know. Maybe we can car pool or meet at your home. Please let me know if you'd like to host a playdate. I also thought it would be nice to meet at local parks when it gets warmer out. Feel free to suggest a park near you.
