Many many thank- you's are sent to each and every indexer in our STAKE. You all deserve a big round of applause and the choicest blessings for your hard work this past year. We appreciate all.

ICE CREAM SOCIALS

We are continuing to have our ice cream socials for the Wards that won in 2011.

Last Friday evening we held a social at the Surrey Hills Building for the OKC 5th Ward. Sister Mcintosh  did a wonderful job preparing the Cultural Hall for the event. Approximately 85 people showed up and the honored guest was Sister Scabby who did an amazing job inspiring people in her Ward to begin indexing.  We appreciate all of those in the 5th Ward who are indexing. In fact the number one indexer in the Stake comes from that Ward.

I was sorry that I forgot to take my camera. Everyone enjoyed the ice cream and fellowship. President Baclawski was able to attend and made it extra special for all.

This coming Friday night, 13th Jan,  we are going to have the ice cream social for the Quail Creek Ward  at the Stake Center at 7 pm. April Garwood is helping with the set up and did a fantastic job coordinating the efforts in her Ward in September so that the Ward accomplished their goal of doing over 31,198 names. Great Job and team effort!

Edmond 2nd Ward's Ice Cream social is still pending, just  waiting on a good date for all.

ICE CREAM SOCIAL GOAL FOR 2012  

 It has been decided that each Ward or Branch will have to do 125% more names this year, than their highest month in 2011. So if you did 10,000 names to win in 2011 you will have to do 12500 names in 2012.  The goal for each Ward/Branch will be posted later on this blog. This reflects the new goal for the Stake. 

NEW STAKE GOAL FOR 2012

1,000,000 

names indexed and/or arbitrated 
I know we can do it!!

TOP TEN AWARDS DINNER

Will be held at the Stake Center on

Saturday, 28th January, 6:00 pm

Invitations will be in the mail this week, also watch your email.

(all statistics were taken from the end of the 2011 year Ward Individual Statistic report, generated by the Church Indexing Program) Please know that we appreciate every indexer in our Stake, no matter how many names you were able to do. Each name is so important to the Lord's Work in his Holy Temple.
If you have not had a chance to go to http://www.familysearch.org  and put in a name of your ancestor, then please take the time to try it. You will be amazed at all of the records that are now available for the World to search for free. I have a personal success story that I will share with all at a later date, It is truly wonderful and easy.
