Two things for today

1. THANK YOU, everyone, for participating, and singing, and speaking, and bringing your family/friends to support us last night. I wish every one of you could have been there to feel that sweet spirit; it was a night we will remember for a long time. (did any of you remember to write in your journals? : )

2. There is a Quad Stake Dance this Saturday, Oct 17. at the Orem Stake Center. 8:30pm.

That's it, have a great, short week. Remember no activity on Wednesday night, so we'll see you all again on Sunday.

Miracles Practice TONIGHT!

Hey ladies,

Just a reminder about our rehearsal tonight at 6pm at the church- it will only be for 30 min. so PLEASE don't be late! Sis. Cottle has to leave right at 6:30, so we need everyone there on time! Thanks so much for all your hard work- this song will be beautiful!

Tomorrow Night...

Hey girls, hope y'all had a great long weekend. Now, back to reality...

Tomorrow night is our Dress Rehearsal for the YW Evening in Excellence program. This means you need to:

1. Come to the church at 6pm (small group), or 6:30pm (everyone else).
2. Bring any music/instruments you might need
3. Wear Sunday dress/skirt - try to make it a solid colored top (can be the color of your favorite value, or just a solid color).
4. Gather up your items for your display. You DON'T need to bring them, but gather them up so you'll know if you have everything you need for Sunday. For those of you who have never done this before you will want to gather up:


- Anything that represents the PP goals you have been working on this year. You made jam? Bring some jam. You have been writing poetry/taking photos? Bring them. You did some service/cleaning around the house? Take a picture, bring it! You performed in a play, bring your dance shoes. You read the BofM? bring your scriptures. You faithfully attended seminary all year? Bring a certificate or just write a little note explaining what you did. Be creative! Go through your PP book and try to remember some of the goals you have completed recently. Your girls camp journal, your own PP book, hiking shoes, a family photo, your 5K shirt (!), a screwdriver (remember fixing all those church chairs? that is good works!), a table setting (remember etiquette night, that is is Individual Worth/Knowledge), a sketch pad from Amber/Kelsey's art lesson (knowledge), a pair of Sunday shoes (remember going to SLC for the YW broadcast? Divine Nature), Nail polish ("Big sister" night with the little girls, making them feel special and important, mother/daughter spa night: Individual Worth), Fudge making with Sister Horne (knowledge), your temple recommend, or a picture of the temple (baptisms for the dead; Faith, Divine Nature, Integrity), a sponge or rag (carwash, good works), did you save anything from youth conference? (Manti pageant, faith; Cleaning grandma's house, Good Works), I don't know about boating and making milkshakes, but the list goes on...


If you can write up something that explains what the goal is/was, that would be ideal. Otherwise just bring what you have and let's show our parents/leaders what you have accomplished this year. (now, before you can actually sign off anything as a goal, you need to check with Sis Books or one of your leaders, but you can bring all this for your display either way).


Hope that was not too rambling. I NEVER ramble. : )

See you tomorrow. Please call someone if you need a ride, otherwise we'll all meet at 6:30pm in the primary room. Thanks!!!

Service Project

Thanks so much to everyone for helping with the service project yesterday! (:



Halloween Carnival

hi,

Please mark on your calendars the HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL we are throwing for the primary kids; it will be on Wednesday, October 28th (instead of our regular activity time). There was some discussion about changing it to the 21st, but some things have come up and we need to keep it on the 28th ... the Wednesday before Halloween.

If you do not yet have an assignment, dont' worry, you'll get one! In the meantime, if anyone wants to help me make posters, e-mail me and let me know. thanks!!

xo Sis O

(that's "scary-O" for Halloween purposes...).

Miracles practice

Hey ladies,

Thank you so much to those who came to the practice tonight- it is coming together so well! You will sound beautiful! I just got a hold of Sis. Cottle who will be playing this number for us, and she said Tuesday the 6th at 6:00pm worked the best for her. From what you told me tonight, that should work for most of you, too. So, this coming Tuesday night at 6:00pm at the church- in the chapel again. Please email me back to let me konw you got this and if you can make it- that way, I have an idea of who will be there. Thanks again!

Miracle's Song

Hi ladies,

Thanks for putting up with my "Director tirades"- but all my ranting will pay off in the end. . . :) Here is the link to the song "Miracles" on Sally DeFord's website. Hopefully most of you will be able to listen to it and practice it at home. You will see all the different options across the top- you can listen to the song with the vocals with Hi-speed, Dial-up, or you can download it to your computer. Same thing with just the accompaniment- no one singing. The last line lets you view the sheet music and there are 4 different options- we are doing the SA version. I included that link below for you! It's the second link- the pdf file. Let me know if these work for you, and if this is all too confusing for you- no worries! We still have next week (Wed.) to work on it! Thanks again for all your hard work and willingness to do this- you are all awesome and will sound angelic!

get your song on(:

Hey girls - tomorrow night we are having our practice for YW Evening in Excellence, so we will be meeting at the church at 6:30pm, in the primary room for opening exercises. After that, we will go to the chapel where we will practice our group song, you will all get your assignments (and yes, you all have assignments : ), and then the girls who are in the small group will stay and rehearse their song as well. It should be a nice, relaxing night after all our craziness, so just come, sing and hang out with us.


See you there!

Way to go girls!

Just wanted to say thanks, and good job to everyone who ran/walked/helped out today. It was a beautiful night, and felt so good to be up in the canyon. I just kept thinking about how blessed we are to live in such a beautiful place, and to be able to make these memories together. You girls are great!
xoxo
Sis. O.

It's SOO on!

Unless you see snow on the ground (!), we are going to go for the 5K this evening.
Be at the church at 5:45pm with: something WARM (layers!) - it will be cooler up the canyon; maybe bring a jacket and keep it in the car for after the race; your costume stuff for the Stake dress rehearsal; good shoes; eat a little something first, but not too much; your smiling, happy faces!!
Please call each other, pick each other up, etc so we are all at the church ON TIME. There are people waiting at different places for us, so we need to keep on schedule. Call me, or any of your leaders if you need a ride.
This is going to be AWESOME! : )
See your in a few hours.
