Spa Day!

Hi my dear friends....

I am back from my trip to Utah / Idaho, but have come down with a terrible cold. I didn't want to cough on everyone and give you my germs, so I missed you all today, Thank you so much for the nice card! It put a smile on my face!

• Remember to bring your Personal Progress Books this Wednesday evening. (bring your charm bracelets, if you need help putting them together) Our activity may be used towards PP, if you would like. We will be doing two service projects, so please come. WE NEED EVERY ONE OF YOU!!! (wear comfortable shoes)
  

• We will also be practicing our song that the stake has asked us to sing for Saturday's YW's conference. You already know it very well.... "Firm in the Faith." Hey, our first request!!!!

• I have a surprise for all of you from my trip. I will bring it for you on Wednesday night!

• Please email me or call me and let me know if your mother is coming with you on Saturday to the YW's Conference at the MV bldg. I sent in the registrations, but did not keep a list. I just need to know who is coming. I anticipate 100 % !!!!!! It will be an awesome Young Women's Conference that you do not want to miss!! We will provide rides for you back to Poolesville Day, if needed. However, you will be responsible for rides home from Poolesville Day.

Laurels Only (sorry miamaids and beehives)

Hi Laurel Class...


Long, but important email.. please take time to read it....


As some of you know, the Laurels are in charge of the activities in September, with the 30th being an activity for Laurels only. This is your time to give feed back to Jasmine, your president. These are ideas that many of you have suggested, so we hope this final list looks great to you. I think it would be wonderful if you could show the younger girls how to plan, prepare, and follow through with an activity. These will turn out great if you all contribute some way. Please feel free to offer help to Jasmine.



I will be away until the 9th (11:45 pm) to visit my very ill brother and to take Jennifer back to school. Please feel free to email me or call my cell phone. I will be available most of the time!

"Fairy GodMother"



September 9 - 1st half - Thumbelina will give a brief 'lesson' or inspirational preview about missionary work to the YW. Then the girls will write letters to the Elders which must include their favorite scripture and why. Letters are to remain unsealed and proofread by Sister Hancock to check for appropriateness. They will then be sealed and mailed. Missionaries are Eli Udy, Sean Endicott, Kenneth Knudson, Joel Marshall, Josh Gishi. 2nd half - Jasmine will contact Kingsview MS to see if we can clean up trash on their athletic fields. Following, Popsicles or some other cool, wet treat will be served. Other things to think about... paper (Thumbelina), envelopes (Laurel?), markers (Sister Hancock?), trash bags (Laurel?), gathering of addresses from parents for mailing letters (Laurel?), treats (Laurel?)

7:00 - 7:10 pm Opening w/ YM (Jsmine Conducts this month)

7:10 - 7:45 pm Letter Writing

7:45 - 8:20 pm Clean up Kingsview

8:20 - 8:30 pm Popsicles




September 16 - "Brand New Year" Celebration - 2nd part of DVD; girls will fill out new goal cards; balloon launch in the parking lot. Also, web address for downloading church music to I-pods and phones will be made available. The Laurels will also show the girls which Personal Progress values they can use with this activity. Will sign off any books, if possible. Girls should bring PP books to this meeting.


September 23 - "Modesty" DVD followed with a fashion show by five young Relief Society sisters in the ward. Categories to model will be wedding dress, work clothes, Sunday clothes, casual wear, school clothes, beach attire. "Modest is Hottest" lip gloss will be given to each girl. We will also make arrangements for Sister Shields to join us for a few minutes that night so we can give her quilt to her. That will probably take place at the beginning of the evening.


September 30 - Sister Larue, the Stake Preparedness Specialist will teach the Laurels about cooking on a simple budget for college, etc. She will compare restaurant prices to 'do-it-yourself' prices. We will bake and then eat. The girls will also begin a personal cookbook or recipe file.
