Progressive Dinner

On August, 22nd last week for Young Women's I was in charge of the combined young women activity.  The Beehives  wanted to do a Progressive dinner for it.  I thought it was a great idea, but I wanted to do something to teach etiquette.  So we went to three different homes. First for Salad, at Lauri's, then we came to my house for the main dish, and then we went to Makinzee's home for dessert.  It went really well, but maybe a little too long. We started at 6:30 and weren't done till almost 9pm.  

At each home we talked about different parts of etiquette.  We showed them what each piece of silverware is for when fine dining.  We taught them how to fold napkins in fun shapes and then  we talked about basic etiquette around in tons of situations.  My advisor Liz made hand outs for everyone.  She is so creative.  She put the handout on a fork.  And it said:

"Take five (with candy bar) to learn about etiquette.  It will be a life saver (of course with the candy life safers) tied to a fork.
