General Relief Society Broadcast Dinner 2013

What a great evening we had together!

A beautiful conference, wonderful dinner and great conversation.  The room was filled with the spirit of love and sisterhood.

A extra special thank you to Sharisa Phelps for the delicious meal, Jana Alexander for the beautiful decor, and Gretchen Poulsen for the yummy, unforgettable tarts!

There were many sisters from the Lindsay, Crystal Shores and Voyager wards that prepared our delicious minestrone soup.

Also, a special thank you for the many sisters that were the magical hands helping with food preparation in the kitchen.

Because of popular demand, we are posting the recipes from the dinner on this blog.

Check it out!
