Enrichment Night

Now that we are back from our short trip to see my family, hopefully I can get caught up on my blogging.

Last Thursday I had Enrichment. Our Enrichment committee has slowly dwindled down to me and one other lady. They have been redoing callings in our ward, and the Relief Society presidency was one thing that was changed. So in the process we lost our Enrichment counselor, and then one of the other ladies on the committee was moved to YW. Well, I have stayed and then one other lady, but then they gave her the Enrichment Counselor calling so we are trying to fill 2 callings on our committee, and in the meantime it has left just 2 of us to do the work. Well, anyway we started planning our activity and it was decided that we would do something on Women's health. We decided the theme would be a "Care-of-being" cruise, and from there we planned it out. We had one of the Women Doctors in town come and talk to the ladies. She did a wonderful job, and made it interesting for the ladies to listen too. We decided for our refreshments we would do fruit and veggie kabobs, and a cheese and cracker tray. We also had fruit and veggie dip. We did water with cucumber (delicious if you haven't tried it), and we decided we would even make the table center pieces edible. We dipped strawberries in chocolate (white with red food coloring) and added mint leaves to them to make then look like roses. We then took blackberries, and added them to skewers and added them to the roses. Also on the table around the vases we put life saver mints that went nicely with out theme. We laid down freezer paper as a walk way to the RS room, and then we hung rope to the wall, and I made life preservers out of cardboard to also hang on the wall with the rope. I think that it turned out really cute, and the ladies LOVED it. I was pretty exhausted after it was over. It was a lot of work for just 2 people, but we did it, and it was wonderful.
