We recently had a wonderful

We recently had a wonderful YWIE night. We had a Young Women in Excellenc Bowl. We got T-shirts in each value color, and made jersey's for each girl. We made a football field with a green table cloth and masking tape for the goal lines. In between the goal post was a huge picture of the temple. When the girls were introduced, they broke through a huge paper sign. Each girl was announced as if in a starting line up, and ran up and down giving each other high fives. Decorations were penants in the value colors, pom poms, football equipment. The young women leaders dressed as coaches and cheerleaders, and the bishop was the referee. We then had a talk that tied it all together, comparing the game of football, to the game of life. Each time you accomplish a goal, you get a first down. We had foam #1 hands, penants, and pom poms for the parents to wave. The girls were told their parents were there biggest fans. For refreshments, we served chips and dip, popcorn, nuts, and soda. We really had a great night.
