On November 11 we held our annual evening of Young Women in Excellence. It was a really wonderful night that celebrated the amazing young women in our ward. Our theme centered on the 2012 world-wide theme for the youth: Arise and Shine Forth. We used yellow, sunshine and morning for our set up and design.
The giant sun was my favorite part.
Our little take-away gift for the girls. IKEA $1 alarm clocks to help them arise early!
Breakfast for dinner: french bread french toast, whipped cream, strawberries, buttermilk syrup, egg casserole, sausage, fresh fruit, juice and milk. Since church gets out at 5 pm and our event started at 6 pm, we wanted to be sure to make it worth the wait as many families wouldn't have time to go home and come back in time. We served appetizers in the yw room to curb everyone's hunger while we set up in the cultural hall.

Program for the evening
The main part of the program featured the young women. We didn't have them do any displays this year, we just had them stand in front and share what personal progress project they completed and how that had increased their testimonies. They all shared sweet words and impressed everyone in the audience with their thoughtfulness, poise and spirit. Such great girls. They also did a great job with their musical number.
It was the helpful combined effort, hard work and talents of all of these wonderful ladies that helped pull this evening off so successfully. It's such a blessing to learn from and serve with them.
