RS "Golden Girls"

 Here is the printed program from our RS Midweek Meeting - Jan. 17th, 2017

 Each YW interviewed an older sister - then read the info...I did Sister Badger as she was going to be out of town visiting family in Missouri - coming back on the airplane with a granddaughter going to the MTC for a mission.

The back of the program -this one we didn't use - I printed the words to Getting to Know you and didn't get the spacing right - made it better for the real programs!  Fun Evening!!

 Tuesday, January 17th, we had our first Midweek Meeting for RS - we decorated with golden things for our "Golden Girls" - those sisters over 80 - three that are 90!  in our ward.  Lots of golden tinsel, etc. on sale after Christmas - we used real china, silverware and class glasses - clothe napkins.

 The RS room wasn't big enough - the cultural hall is too big - so we moved the couches and chairs out of the foyer and set up 6 tables!  Pretty huh?  We had name tags on the tables for everyone to get to know each other better.  I found the middle golden star at the dollar store!!

 Sister Tina Rose - our Committee leader - we served  rolls with chicken salad, spinach and strawberry salad, cherry bars and chocolate cookies.

 Great turn out - we gave the senior sisters a small boutannaire - flower - the Activity Days girls and YW served everyone.

After eating we went to the RS room and sang: "Getting to Know YOU"  - it was fun.  Check out the cool golden decorations about the curtains hiding the blackboard!  A sister on our committee made a short power point about the history of the last 80 - 90 years - so much fun. She showed a picture of Elvis Presley and one older sister said: I was in love with Elvis - another one said: "My sister still is!"

 See the 12 red long stemmed roses?  We had each YW interview the older sisters in their homes and then read the information - then give them a rose.  The YW learned that these sisters are real people and had accomplishments in their lives - many spoke about rationing during WWII - and putting cardboard in their shoes when they wore out - you could only have one new pair of shoes a year!

 One of our 80 year olds tap dances with a group of grandmas!!  She finished our program by dancing a short number - then her garnd daughter joined her!

Tap dancing on the carpet wan't the best but we all loved it!!!  Everyone had a great time and I received 5 texts the next day - telling me what a nice program and dinner it was - yay!!!
