I think it would be better if our ward kept getting together every month, even for just a game night or whatever. As of right now, it seems pretty random and disappointing. Basically there's several activities that were already in place that are now official enrichment activities - like exercise at the church on M & W at 9am. Very lowly populated. Or a quarterly "Gastronomy Group" where we get together and share recipes in a theme (like slow cooker, international, whatever). I guess there's also a group of women who get together ever month for lunch, and they said anyone is welcome to that, too.

So as of right now, it seems to me like I'll be getting equal or less exposure to RS on a regular basis. I hope they implement more .... things. I really need *more* opportunities to get to know the ladies in my ward! All this new program seems to be doing is breaking everyone up into smaller groups. Which maybe is more conducive to really getting to know people well, but not so good when you're just trying to get to know people, period.

But I have to admit, I was skeptical just with changing the name from homemaking to enrichment, LOL. This is a much bigger change, but I can't believe it wasn't put in place for a reason. I'm sure it will work out well with some time.
