About 3 years ago the church changed Enrichment meetings from being monthly to quarterly. The idea was that this would reduce the number of events that everyone is strongly encouraged to attend. But since there is still a need for socializing, learning, and uplifting activities for women in Relief Society, each ward is responsible for their own enrichment activities which are to be tailored to the needs and interests of the women in the ward. The activities can be as frequent or infrequent as the ward needs. For example, an enrichment activity can be a walking group that meets everyday, or a gardening group that only meets during the summer, or an oriental cooking group that meets once.
Since the Logan 1st Ward has a new, and amazing, enrichment committee, they are working on getting enrichment activities started. Each activity is meant as an opportunity for those who are interested--it's not expected for all to attend every activity.
The committee is working on having one activity every Thursday with each week having a different emphasis based on either the home, family, or personal needs. The second Thursday of every month will be ward temple night, with babysitting provided at the church. We will be posting more information on each activity as they are decided so you can be well informed!
The committee is always looking for ideas, and for people who will lead an enrichment activity. If there is an area you're interested in, please post a comment with the suggestion. Also post if you're willing to lead an activity!

I want to have a recipe exchange.
Oooooh! I'll second that! A ward recipe book would be neat. And another idea - simple car maintenance for women, like how to change a flat tire.
We will soon! Any specific recipes you are hoping for?
