Class presidency/planning meetings

Our next BYC is Sunday, January 11th, and the bishop wants us to have a three-month calendar of our activities: January, February, March. Of course, some of the weeks are already taken care of, but we definitely need your input!

We will be having class presidency/planning meetings before BYC that Sunday at 5 p.m., so start thinking of good class & joint activity ideas, and bring them to share.

Sister Littlefield had a midnight epiphany!

Tonight I was tossing & turning in bed, trying to figure out how I could make/do/think/call/compute for New Beginnings while I am several states away & battling sometimes spotty wifi. Then it came to me ... move the date.

Move the date ?!?! Can it be done?

Yes, it can. It can indeed be moved. That is the beauty of January.

In light of this epiphany, we hereby decree that New Beginnings will be held on Wednesday, January 28th during our regular youth meetings instead of Wednesday, January 7th. We will still have joint YW Values Night on WEdnesday, January 7th, but it won't be New Beginnings.

I hope this doesn't disrupt anyone's January plans. It may even make it easier to get the word out!

I can't wait to see all of you in the new year!

Love,
Erin

New Beginnings

Our New Beginnings evening - parents invited! - will be Wednesday, January 7th during our regular activity time. We're literally going to kick off the new year with New Beginnings.

Spread the word to your mom and dad and fellow young women. We want to have a great turnout!

First Aid Night, 7-9 p.m.

Hi everybody ... I hope you're having a delicious Thanksgiving day filled with pie and turkey!

Don't forget that this Wednesday, December 3, we will have our joint YW First Aid night. It's going to be a great session with several people coming to train and teach us, including Brother Shawn Jensen. The neat thing is that this should also take care of our Girls Camp training, plus provide information for babysitting and future jobs.

Please remind your parents about the later pick up time!

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.
