New Beginnings Event


Well, this was the event that has been consuming all my extra time and thoughts, which is why I haven't blogged in the last month! It's over, and I have to admit I can breathe much easier now :) I had my secretary run around and take a bunch of pictures for me right at the last minute as I was in the back preparing my personal progress shpiel.

All the young women did a beautiful job fulfilling on their speaking parts and talks. For some reason, this event was so intimidating to put together. I think the next event will be a little less scary. I was so happy with the turnout and especially happy to watch the girls' eyes light up when they walked into the room!

The picture above were the centerpieces for all the tables. We had taffies scattered around for people to snack on during the program...too bad I had them in my basement and they got kind of hard! I just hope nobody chipped a tooth...seriously!





The easle to the left had the Young Women theme on it and the tall stand in the middle had a bunch of pictures of the girls all around it.


We had a calendar of events for the parents to take home with them with the programs. The class presidents were so cute and wrote individualized notes to each of the girls in their classes. We put them in the little basket for each of the girls to take home with them as well.

That's so exciting you are in Young Women's! When did you get switched to that? I love being in YW - so fun!

Your New Beginnings turned out fabulous - I especially like the idea of the class presidents writing notes to each of the girls in their class. Beautiful!
