Smart kids. I happen to have the Bishop's ear in my ward and I also know that the Primary President, a SoCal refugee, has been throwing out ideas along the lines of "It's so cold here in October. We don't want those poor little children to get a runny nose on Halloween - why not do Trunk or Treat at the church?". Not over my dead body, lady! When push comes to shove we'll see who has more power in the ward - the Exec. Sec. or the Primary Pres.

Incidentally, I hate how my fellow Utahns refer to the church building or meetinghouse as "the ward". The ward is an organizational unit - not a building.
