Young Women New Beginnings

When I was part of the Young Women Presidency in our ward we planned New Beginnings for our Young Women. It’s an annual event where we teach the the young women and their parents about the Young Women organization and Personal Progress. This year we had used boot camp theme, and it turned out pretty cute.

I designed the layout of the vinyl, and it was hard! Designing doesn’t not come naturally to me. Jann and Kristi painted the boards. When they were dry Kim, Joe, and I had a marathon of putting all the vinyl on. The whole project took forever, but we loved the finished product!

This was the mutual theme for 2010: Joshua 1:9, shortened to Be Strong and of a Good Courage.

Monica and Jann took care of handling much of the program. Then some of the Laurels introduced the new beehives that would be coming into Young Women in 2010 when they turned 12. It was fun because most of the new beehives actually had sisters that could introduce them!

After the introductions all of the Young Women came up by age group (Laurel, Mia Maid, Beehive) to get their dog tags.


Joe helped untangle some of the dog tags, and wore them so they wouldn’t get re-tangled. He looks good.

The cute new beehives for 2010!

Here are the cute ladies I was able to serve with, unfortunately they made me wear that ridiculous hat.
It was a really great program and I think that the young women really enjoyed it. Hopefully it got them and their parents pumped up to do Personal Progress!
