Family History Activity

Great night!  Great turnout!  Inspired to work on my family history!

Service Auction

Tonight we had our Service Auction.   Due to spring break and some illnesses we were a small group, but it was SO MUCH FUN!!

Heart of My Heart Dance

Kalaheo Relief Society sponsored a 'Heart of My Heart Dance' for families!  It was a big success!

Micronesian Cultural Night

This was the best activity ever!    The place was packed and we had about 60 of our new Micronesian Friends perform for us.  They sang and danced and played music.  They brought food for us to taste and displayed their crafts.  We brought our own goodies to add to the pot luck and thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment and the company!   This was a super fun way to get to know our new Marshallese members and their friends better.  It was a fantastic evening!

Balancing Act

We had a well attended and wonderful activity that we called 'How to improve your balancing act!'

We had Ikaika and Karen Perriera teach us how to make our grocery dollars stretch. 

We had Jeff and Dawn Peterson teach us about managing our money

We had Mike and Alisha Shipley teach us about time management.

We learned some super helpful tips 

and our hubbies were there too and so they got all the same information too!

RS Christmas Activity

Sweets, Love, Laughter, Friendship, Warmth - 
What a wonderful night it was!

We talked about what signs we all were on the inside.  See http://www.mamamia.com.au/news/her-husband-had-an-accident/

We talked about what signs Joseph and Mary might have worn on the inside

We talked about how we can be kinder and less judgmental this Christmas season.

We put blank signs on our backs and we let others fill in what they see good about us.

We made blessing jars, ate tons of sweets, chatted and laughed, and wrote more and more compliments.

Then we finished it up with a fast paced white elephant gift exchange.  See http://www.diva-girl-parties-and-stuff.com/right-left-christmas-game.html

Super Saturday

We had such a fun Super Saturday!  It was an evening of food, fun, visiting, music and CRAFTING!

We made earrings and necklaces, family trees out of buttons and tiles, Christmas decorations, colorful yarn vases, Deluxe grocery list holders, and more.

We had been gently reminded that we cannot ask the sisters to pay for any of these crafts and so we got creative in finding and using supplies. 

We had several sisters teaching us how to make these fun crafts and even had our missionaries teaching two crafts.

We had some brethren join us for security purposes because it was about 10:30pm by the time we got everything cleaned up.

We invited the young women to join us and we even had a primary girl teach a craft.

One thing we will look at for next year will be whether we should offer babysitting.

Another thing we have to do next year is make sure our Activity leader keeps tight control of our budget.  We had one sister that used up the majority of the budget on her craft.

All in all, It was such a fun night and successful night, there were plenty of crafts to go around, and lots of food left over, and it was really fun to see some of our less active and non-member friends join us.
