Book of Mormon Read-a-Thon

At the start of the year our Relief Society president shared a sad statistic about how few members have read the entire Book of Mormon.  So we made one of our goals to encourage the sisters to read.
We decided to have a Book of Mormon Read-a-Thon.  We took a lot of ideas from those online, mainly off of Sugardoodle
Beforehand we passed out reminder handouts in doc and publisher.
Here is our adjusted reading schedule.  One thing we didn't do was last until 10:30 that night.  We stopped at 10:10 and finished up that part at 8 the next morning.  We had asked for Cameos but somehow the message wasn't passed on.  It worked out well though.  We just listened to those chapters. 
One of the YW played the chapters we listened to on her ipod so we could listen at 1.5 speed.  It helped keep us on schedule.

 Care of the activity, one of the young women was able to complete and receive her Young Women's Medallion.


This is when we didn't make it until 10
Saturday we had little ears join us
