Invites, Donation Boxes, and Chatter - Oh My!

Shoot!! Brought the camera.....but forgot to take the pics!! We were busy tonight making some visits to girls in our ward who need a little lift, making invites to our YW in Excellence program, and decorating boxes for our Thanksgiving Meal Donations. Thanks to all who came and helped! The invites turned out adorable!

Sharing our Talents....

Tonight was Amazing! The girls put on a talent show for the residents of Apple Tree Retirement Home. They sang songs, played instruments, danced and showed art work. The Elderly sisters that came to our program seemed to really enjoy it. We even had spots in our program where we had them join in singing hymns with us. It was so fun to see them tap their feet and sing along as the girls were performing. What a special spirit they have. It was a great evening spent sharing the talents and gifts the Lord has given these girls with those who really appreciated and enjoyed having us share! Hopefully we spread a little sunshine and brightened spirits tonight! Great job girls....you were incredible! Thanks to all who came and participated!

Out for a little "Fresh Air...."

Tonight we had an awesome activity! We were lucky enough to be able to tour Channel 2 News and then stand right in the room and watch the 6 o'clock news broadcast live! The 10 o'clock producer Milissa Gibbs took us on a tour of the studio and then in to the Control room for the first few minutes of the broadcast. After a few minutes we got to be right in the room while Sterling Poulson did the weather report, Dave Fox talked Sports, Brian Mullahy did something else :), and Mark Koelbel finished the news. After wards, thanks to Alyssa, we were able to take pictures with some of them! It was really neat to learn about some of the things they do to prepare for the broadcasts and then to watch it happen. Thanks Channel 2.....it really was a breath of "Fresh Air" just being with you all!! (Click on the collages to see them bigger!)

Nightmare on 13th -

Every year the Barber's invite our Youth to their Haunted House for an activity. The kids love this night.....and if we're being honest.....so do the leaders! They are so generous in allowing us all to come and have fun....we are so grateful! Afterwards, we meet in the parking lot for doughnuts and milk! We had a great turn-out and had a wonderful time! Thanks Barber family!
