The orange thread indicates the location and theme of each Triennial Convention and gathering — were you there? — as well as special emphases for each triennium (or longer), and challenges to the organization.

The pink thread represents the activities of the churchwide women's organization, some of which were based on Triennial Convention action, and ongoing ministries. Which ones were or are you involved with?

The blue thread indicates presidents and executive directors of the organization. Have you met the president and executive director who currently serve you? If not, meet them at the Seventh Triennial Gathering in Salt Lake City, Utah, July 10–13, 2008. They will be pleased to see you.
