TIME OUT FOR WOMEN

Time Out for Women
October 9th 6:30 – 9:30 pm
October 10th 9:00 am – 3:45 pm
Phoenix Convention Center

We are looking for sisters who are interested in going to ‘Time Out for Women’. If 5 or more sisters register before September 10th, we can receive a $10.00 discount for the full weekend registration. The full weekend registration cost with the discount is $47.00. If you are interested in only going on Friday night, the cost is $20.00 at the door and they don’t guarantee availability. You can, however, get together with someone interested in only going on Saturday and splitting the cost (and vice versa). We will try to accommodate those sisters interested in going only on Friday or Saturday, but depending on what sister’s sign up for is what might be available. With the discount it will be cheaper to pay for both days as opposed to just paying for one day. There are going to be some great speakers like John Bytheway and Jenny Oaks Baker and so many more! All money needs to be paid IN CASH to Michelle Bloom by September 6th. There will be no pre-purchased box lunches available, so you will need to bring a lunch with you. We will meet at one sister’s home for each day to carpool down there. We would love to have any and all join us!
