Ward conferences & Temple sessions

The first year The Stake Presidency served we  attended a ward social on Saturday night before the Ward conference to become better familiar with the members of the wards.  We usually had a type of refreshment or dinner with the adults.  In years that followed instead of a social we went to the temple with each ward in connection with ward conference.

Sometimes wards invited the Stake Presidency to join in their ward socials and parties

One night we sat along side pianist Joshua Walker and his wife at the 22nd Ward Christmas Social
