RS Birthday Party Fun!

What a fantastic evening of getting to know the spectacular women in our ward! The Relief Society Birthday Party was SO much fun as we got to show the Young Women how much fun it is to be in the Relief Society as personalities, talents, and interests were shared.

But what's a birthday party without any games? Cheeto head was definitely a huge hit. ;)

First, we needed volunteers...

Preparation was key

Then we assigned the ever eager shaving cream volunteers a "head"





Then we styled the shaving cream head for the optimum cheeto head tower

Such style.

Such poise.


Many thanks to our volunteers; they were such troopers!

We had such a great turnout. Thank you to all the dear sisters for coming and sharing this evening with us!

We were all so privileged to discover talents and interests of some of the amazing women in this ward. If I failed to document some that shared, my sincerest apologies and I'll try better next time.

In no particular order, the talents and interests of the Rigby 7th Ward ladies:

We then had a fun white elephant gift exchange. Who knew that 101 Ways to Flirt could be so popular? Or white bath mats?

And to finish the evening on a sweet note, refreshments in honor of the birthday theme and the fact that the evening fell on St. Patrick's Day, we enjoyed green monster cupcakes, lime-infused water, caramel and white chocolate-dipped pretzels, tiny tarts and mini-cheesecakes and cream puffs.

A brief mention about the green monster cupcakes: they were initially ordered to be light green with white polka dots on chocolate cupcakes. When they were picked up...well, the picture explains it all that according to Marilyn, "Only a man would've messed up those instructions that badly!"

Everything was simply scrumptious not only to look at but for the tastebuds as well!

Mmm, delicious!!!!

All in all, it was a fantastic evening full of fun memories. Thanks for being so wonderful, Rigby 7th Ward gals!

Conference with Julie Beck

Rigby Idaho South Stake

Relief Society Conference

with

Sister Julie Beck

Relief Society General President

Date and Time: February 26th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon

Place: BYU-I Center on the BYU-Idaho Campus

Invitation to: All Relief Society sisters and Laurel-age Young Women (16-18)

(Stake Presidents and Bishops are invited to the Leadership

Training Meeting following the Conference, but may attend the

Conference if they would like.)

Arrival Time: Please arrive EARLY!!! Heavy traffic, finding a place to park, and walking to the Center will take time, so be prepared. The building will be open by 8:00 a.m. Doors to the Conference area will open at 9:00 a.m. Everyone should be seated by 9:45! The Choir will begin their prelude at 9:40

Attire: Sunday Dress

Transportation: Car-pooling is a necessity! Car pools should include at least 4 sisters and a full car is best. Some stakes/wards are having all of their sisters meet at their local building where they will fill cars to capacity and leave other vehicles at the Church.

Tow-Away Zone: Parking is not allowed in the housing complexes. Cars parked there will be towed!

Hearing Needs: Section 1 (right front) will hae seats reserved for the hearing impaired and an interpreter will be provided by BYU-I.

Children: Please arrange to leave young children at home. It will be a long morning with travel, early arrival, a two-hour conference, and dispersion of people and traffic afterward. They can also be a distraction to others who are nearby. Perhaps Young Women in a ward, or husbands and dads can be of service and allow little ones to remain at home.

Lunch

Due to the large number of people who will be attending the Leadership Training with Sister Beck, only those Stake and Ward Relief Society Presidencies and their Priesthood Leadership staying for that meeting can be accomodated for lunch at the Crossroads in the Manwaring Center. Those people will purchase their lunch from one of eight food stations in the Crossrads or from one of the buffet lines. There will be seating for 800 in the Ballroom and there is a large seating area in the food court. There will be a variety of items and a range of costs. You may bring your own lunch.

The lunch in the Crossroads will be designed for efficiency to facilitate the process of providing lunch for 1200-1400 people within a 60-minute time frame.

Sisters not attending the Training will need to find lunch resources off campus in Rexburg or surrounding communities. Some wards have planned a luncheon with their sisters at their own meetinghouse. Rigby 7th Ward has not made any arrangments for this.
