This is the church building in Tolleson where the Tolleson Ward met. I attended there for close to 10 years.
Until June 29, 2012, when an arsonist set fire to our building.
On Saturday March 16, 2013 after 9 months of waiting, we were able to attend the groundbreaking for the new building. In attendance was the Stake Presidency, the Bishops of the 3 wards that met there, city officials, the fire department and ward and stake members.
There were some short speeches, I don't remember the speakers names, with the exception of President Waldron. (And I apologize for the sound, it isn't great).
The 1st shovels of dirt was turned by the 3 Bishops, The stake RS President, the City official, the Stake Presidency and Clayre Jones, who is the widow of the 1st Stake President.
Once the official groundbreaking was finished it was opened up for Stake Members and especially the children to have a turn.
Construction is due to start April 8, the building will be finished by April 8, 2014.
Welcome to my blog. The thoughts and opinions here are strictly my own.My parents signed me up for my 1st book club before I was born. I have always loved books and reading.The 1st LDS Fiction I read was Added Upon by Nephi Anderson when I was 10. At the time it was the very best LDS Fiction had to offer. It has greatly improved over the past few years. I read as much as I can in my spare time.I grew up in Massachusetts, went to High School at Algonquin Regional High School, and college at Utah State University.I have lived in Michigan, Massachusetts & Utah.I currently live in Phoenix, AZ where I work full time as a Patient Care Advocate, and I make ties to order in my spare time.If you see a tie you would like to order, or need something special for an occasion contact me at Primarymary2@gmail.com. Please keep in mind, I made all of my ties in cotton, and have to be tied. They can be made in many different sizes up to Adult, but please check for fabric availability.
