TREATS
FOR
TEMPLE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
Elder and
Sister Holbrook have invited church members to provide treats for the workers
at the Hartford Connecticut Temple construction site.
As Elder Holbrook
explains: “Treats and attached personal
notes help the workers to feel recognition for what they are building when they
come to work on the temple each day, something they don’t experience in their
normal working environment. The treats
convey a spirit of love and appreciation from members whom the workers will probably
never meet face-to-face.”
The
Holbrooks’ goal is to be able to provide treats for the workers once a week,
but they would be happy to do it more often if there is a lot of interest.
HOW TO HELP:
1. Call Elder and Sister Holbrook at
801.647.8161.
2. Sign up for a time when you’d like to
bring treats. The Holbrooks will tell you at the time of
your call how many treats are needed, since the number of workers at the site
varies.
3. Prepare treats.
Treats should be wrapped individually or put into plastic sandwich bags so
they can be easily passed out to the workers.
Personal notes can be attached to the treats; the Holbrooks report that
the workers really value these. A word
of thanks, hand drawn pictures, any effort to show appreciation is welcome.
4. On your chosen day, deliver treats to
the Holbrooks at the temple site.

The
Holbrooks are at the temple site from 9-5 pm, Monday to Friday, but they would
be happy to arrange a time for you to drop off treats in off hours if needed.

Treats
for a particular week may be provided by individuals, families, or ward

person or group may elect to provide treats just once during the time the
temple is being constructed, but they are welcome to sign up more often if they
choose!
