LIVE UP TO YOUR POTENTIAL

The Relief Society Birthday Dinner was absolutely delightful! We looked pretty good for 168 years!

The decorations

There were two vinyl lettering banners that read "Live up to your potential"
Tables were white table cloths with Happy Birthday paper in a square on the center. Each table had a cupcake tier filled with cupcakes (described under food). There were candies sprinkled on top of the birthday paper. The Food Table had some large off center tiers for the salad and there were some floral "topiaries" (not a true description, just don't know how else to describe it). The stage had some lighted greenery and a couple of beautiful candles in holders and on the gym floor in front were 4 chairs.

The food

An Italian restaurant donated lasagna and bread sticks, Soup Plantation donated the salad, and then there were the cupcakes. The cupcakes were hand made by our RS Coordinater and her mother. Each one decorated differently. Chocolate frosting with chocolate chips, Lemon frosting with a tiny lemon slice on top, strawberry with a strawberry on top, a creamy frosting with chocolate shavings, etc. They were gorgeous. Everything was delightfully delicious.

The program

A brother in our ward with a wonderful tenor voice and accompanied by a very talented sister in our ward, sang "I heard Him come" Absolutely BEAUTIFUL

A group of 4 lovely sisters sat in the 4 chairs up front and recited beautiful things from sisters in the first relief society in 1842.

AN EXTREMELY TALENTED SISTER put together a piano program and had 3 of our beautiful sisters sing the 13th article of faith and then there was a reading of our Relief Society theme while the piano played in the background and then they sang the song again.

Then the video from LDS.org was played on the Legacy of Relief Society.

So there was good food, good program and of course a good time talking and laughing and loving.
