Bonfire night & November calendar

Slight change of plans for our joint YM/YW activity in November. We were going to have our Dance Nite (and don't worry - it's still going to happen in 2009), but it works better to do the Miamaid bonfire at Sister Weaver's house that night.

Wait, that doesn't sound right! The Miamaids are planning the activity, not fueling the fire!


Wednesday, November 5th - joint YW: Dating & relationship panel
*be thinking of questions now that you'd like answered or discussed

Saturday, November 8th - "We Rejoice" song practice (to be scheduled)

Wednesday, November 12th - class activities

Saturday, November 15th - stake Young Women in Excellence

Sunday, November 15th - sing in Sacrament Meeting

Wednesday, November 19th - joint YW/YM: bonfire @ the Weaver's house

Wednesday, November 27th - no YW/Thanksgiving holiday!

Carnival

Carnival. Wednesday night. Be there, or be square.

Set up - 4:30 or whenever you can come. But there's tons to do!

Wear a costume (modest, maskless) and be prepared to have a great time with the little kids. They admire you all so much & love it when you pay attention to them.

Personal Progress

1st - please bring your Personal Progress books on Wednesday, Oct. 22nd. In the midst of planning for the carnival, I'd like to check on progress!

2nd - please be thinking of the project or experience you want to display at our Nov. 15th stake Young Women in Excellence program.

We Rejoice

Just a reminder to listen to your rehearsal CD! Please play it at night or in the car or in your room. It will help you learn the music much more quickly.

We will try to sing through the song once on Sunday, then several more times on Wednesday, Oct. 22nd. Since that's a work night for the carnival, we'll have a little time to sing too.

:)

Yummy snacks

On Wednesday night, the Teachers quorum will be organizing our joint YM/YW activity: games-n-food. They have invited any young women (and young men) who want to contribute a snack to bring something to share on Wednesday night. It can be sweet, savory, salty, crunchy, or all of the above. You can bring a giant tray or a few samples. If you have a favorite treat or something you're good at baking, bring it on Wednesday night.

See you then!

Stake Young Women in Excellence

We will be providing more information about the stake Young Women in Excellence as it gets closer, but we want you to put it on your calendars now: the evening of Saturday, November 15th. It will be a fancy sit-down dinner at the stake center with young women and their fathers. Of course, the girls will be able to display projects and experiences too.

I can't wait!
