  • These orientation meetings are held on the 4th Thursday of the month at 6:30pm Mountain Time, directly before the members-only LDSFL monthly meeting.

  • At these meetings, find out if your state/region has a local coordinator who you can get in contact with.

• Attend the monthly members-only LDSFL Zoom meeting (7pm MT on the 4th Thursday of the month).
