Sewing Skills--Feb 17th

We're meeting at the Pearce residence, 4814 60th St, at 7pm on Thursday. If you have a sewing machine you wouldn't mind us borrowing, please bring it and meet us there a few minutes early. Please call us if you need a ride!

Personal Progress Special :)

We had an interesting-looking group of young women at the church for our personal progress special. Thanks so much for being so supportive of this! We, as leaders, were so impressed with how seriously they took the instructions to wear anything and everything they had that started with the letter 'p', to help us think about Personal Progress. As an example: Polka dots, Plaid, Purple, Pink, Pillbox hat, Peacoat, Pigtails, Ponytail, Purse, Pearls, and the list goes on and on. The girls were so creative as to how they put it all together. The girl with the most 'p''s on won a gift card to Sonic and the runner up and most creative got some luxurious lotions. Taylor Webster won with over 40 p's, Amy Aldana was the runner up, and Winter McGinty won most creative. Here's a picture of our group:

That night was the start of a new adventure. We, as leaders, flew all of the girls out for a vacation to Maine! But we forgot something... OOPS... the return flight! The girls must now earn miles and money to get to where we can have some fun in the sun: Hawaii! If all of the girls make it by June, completing two entire values*, we get a pool party!

How it works:

The young women will be divided into teams. Each team must earn points by doing their Personal Progress. Those points can either be cashed in for money or for miles. Money will be used for things like buying a vehicle, gas, food, and plane or ferry tickets. The miles will be used to move their vehicle of choice across the country on the way to Hawaii.

Points System:

 Each day it takes to complete a value experience is worth 100 points.

All completed value projects are worth 10,000 points!

For example:

If I complete a value experience that took me one day, I will earn 100 points.

If I complete a value experience that took me two weeks, I will earn 1400 points.

If I complete a value project, I will earn 10,000 points!

The young women will also receive the points for the value experience and projects that their mothers/mentors/friends complete!!

There will be several motivating prizes offered to:

-The team that reaches Hawaii first.

-The team that gets the most points.

-The individual girl who gets the most points.

*Completing two entire values will guarantee a young woman a ticket straight to Hawaii, regardless of where her team is when the game is ended. However, she must still earn points to help her team cross the country.

Valentine Activity--Feb 10th

This week's activity will be a fun one! Since Valentine's Day is coming up, we thought we'd do some service. We will be making Valentine cards and decorating cupcakes to deliver to the wives of the bishop and his counselors. SHHHH- its a surprise!! Dress warmly. :)

We're meeting at the church at 7pm, tomorrow, February 10th. Please be ready to pick up your girls at 8:30 back at the church, and please let us know if you need a ride!
