Madriglace Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 In our stake they hold a salmon derby and the preisthood serves the sister the most fabulous fresh BBQ salmon dinner before the broadcast .. what a great girls nite out! The derby winner ..... biggest salmon caught ... wins a quadruple combination set of scriptures. This has been going on for about 4 years now. Quote
pam Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Posted September 19, 2011 What a great tradition to have around this. Quote
Jenamarie Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Our Stake also does a dinner and musical and/or service program prior to the broadcast. Often we have the Priesthood serving us (nothing as fancy as salmon though!) I look forward to it every year. :) Quote

Iggy Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 We are having a "Light" dinner= Mini Pizzas, green salad, Soup, dessert. We will be taping the broadcast, then will watch it after dinner/socializing. Oh, and it is Sunday Dress. No jeans or sweats. We are starting at 5 PM- I am really looking forward to it. Quote
Vort Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 It's a good meeting. You will hear from each member of the General RS Presidency as well as whichever First Presidency member is presiding. Great talks, always worthwhile. It's part of my regular monthly listening rotation with General Conference between October and March. Quote

dahlia Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 I didn't put in my contacts until right before I left for the meeting. For some reason, one eye was just watering and would not quit. I kept having to wipe away the spillage. I'm sure it looked like I was crying through the whole meeting. Such a good Mormon, so carried away by the messages! Quote
LittleWyvern Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 The eagle avatar made this extra funny.I actually do like salmon though. Quote
Madriglace Posted September 26, 2011 Report Posted September 26, 2011 I was able to spend most of the morning in the temple doing initiatory for 21 of my ancestors and then arrived in our stake just in time for dinner and the broadcast ... after Pres Uchtdorf's (sp?) I knew I had been blessed with a very spiritual day. The salmon was wonderful ... we had ice cream for desert along with handpicked and hand made blackberry cobbler which the stake RS pres did. I love our stake! Quote
