YW in Excellence!

It's hard to believe we have just accomplished another Evening of Excellence program! Last night was incredible! We met at 4 pm to set up and decorate the gym.....which turned out pretty dang awesome, if we do say so ourselves! For the program, Sis. Piula from the Homestead ward came and spoke to us about Individual Worth. Afterwards, each YW leader took a minute spotlighting each girl. As each name was read, 2 YM escorted each YW on to the stage where she would stand as qualities and talents she possessed were read. Each girl received a rose and a copy of what was shared about them. They all sat on the stage and after all the girls had been spotlighted, the parents and the leaders gave them a Standing Ovation for their Excellence and for being incredible Young Women. Carly sang a beautiful song, "Light house in the Night," Bro. McKinstry and Bishop gave closing remarks, then all the YW sang "I Am a Child of God." We had really fun refreshments......Chocolate fountains with all kinds of fruit, cookies, rice crispie treats, candy, etc. to dip! It was such a fun night! The girls were beautiful and so were their table displays! It was PERFECT!! (Now for the sad part...Please forgive me.....I took pics. before you all showed up, and remembered to take more pics. after most of you had left! Duh!!! Sorry!)
