The Hundred Dresses

Yesterday we had our Relief Society birthday activity. The committee spent a lot of time putting this activity together. Being the Relief Society Activity coordinator takes a lot of work when we plan a big activity. We served the sisters soup, salad and rolls. This activity was centered around the children's book The Hundred Dresses. After dinner someone read a summary of the story and we had a slideshow. Then two ladies sang "As Sisters in Zion." I have always loved the words to that song. The night turned out perfect and I heard nice comments.
Here are the table decorations.For the dessert table 12 people made a dessert to represent each month. Then everyone could sample the different kinds. We had the sisiters birthdays by each month.
Here is Leah and I by the dresses. We asked each sister to bring a gently used dress to donate to a woman's shelter. We collected 120 dresses!! Now how am I going to get them to the shelter??
Kristen came to support me and watched Katelyn while I set up. She was a lifesaver!!
