Special Events (Page 205) Craft Day would fall under this guideline
Special events are held to respond to the needs and interests of sisters, develop sisterhood, and provide cultural, spiritual, educational, and social enrichment. Two events each year are suggested for ward Relief Societies. One or two events each year are suggested for stake Relief Societies. 

Relief Society special events can be fairs, seminars, concerts, women's meetings, or socials. One event should commemorate the organization of the Relief Society on 17 March 1842. 
The Relief Society presidency directs these events. The activities committee may be a resource. Specialists may be assigned to help (see pages 196, 199). 

Relief Society Policies and Guidelines on Finances 

Leaders ensure that stake and ward Relief Society finances are used according to the current budget and finance policies of the Church. The following principles apply. 

Stake or ward budget allowance funds should be used to pay for all Relief Society activities, programs, and supplies, including costs for teaching supplies, special events (two per year), homemaking refreshments or light meals, and supplies for the children's class. Members should not pay fees to participate. Nor should they provide materials, supplies, rental or admission fees, or long-distance transportation at their own expense (exceptions are made for materials for personal homemaking projects, as explained below). Activities in which many members provide food may be held if they do not place undue burdens on members. 

Activities should be simple and have little or no cost. They should not involve travel that could impose a hardship. This may require a reduction in some activities that stakes and wards are accustomed to having. 
Expenditures must be approved by the stake presidency or bishopric before they are incurred. No fund-raising may be conducted. 
Sisters should buy scriptures for their own use. They also pay for materials used for personal projects in homemaking meetings. Each homemaking meeting should include at least one class or activity that is without cost.
