Stake Temple Assignments 2012

**ALSO there is a highlighted section on May 23rd 3:30-7:30 slot that has 3 too many people.  If you signed up there…could you see if another day or time would work for you and let Brother Winkel know that also!!  (Maybe you could do May 3rd!!)

If you would like to do a swap or could go if you had someone to watch your kiddos, or could watch someone else’s kiddos…please email me and let me know [email protected].  BUT if you would like to sign up for one of these time slots please email Bryce Winkel at [email protected].

Here is some info we got regarding this day of service:
Regarding our month of service we have received the following from the temple along with a slight change in hours which are reflected on the attached signup sheet.

Since all service clothing is provided, we ask that volunteers not rent temple clothing or change into clothing of their own before they receive their assignment in the temple.
Our cafeteria particularly relies upon the volunteers who come for this service.
In order to maintain high standards in providing service in the temple, it is important that those who volunteer are in good health and physically able to perform tasks as assigned.

Hello Everyone – I am looking for a strange thing, but want to use it for girls camp this year. I am looking for a Marionette or puppet with strings. I would love to have something similar to Pinocchio. If you or anyone you know has such a thing please let me know.

Thanks so much,
