All:
Just a reminder of this Sunday.
Again, the objective of this fireside is to educate and inspire the youth and their parents on the purposes and importance of the DTG program.
These tie directly into the purposes of the Aaronic Priesthood. (https://www.lds.org/handbook/handbook-2-administering-the-church/aaronic-priesthood?lang=eng#8.1.3)
We'll refocus on that and integrate that more tightly into our teaching and Sunday activities, and we need to help the parents know we can only do so much as leaders. It has to be adopted and supported at home as well to really work the way it should.
Please call me with any questions or concerns you may have about Sunday night asap.
Also, see the program outline below and attached.
I'd like to assign the following responsibilities:
Matt L.:
1-Work with the Deacons Quorum and/or Presidency to present the "LEARN" portion of Learn, Act, Share. They should take 5-6 minutes total. The more boys we can have participate in the quorum the better (perhaps say what LEARN means to them and why they feel it is important after they have read the DTG booklet description of it).
2-Assign an opening prayer (and let me know who it is prior to the 6:00 start).
3-Be in the Relief Society room 15 minutes early to help set up
Cory P.:
1-Work with the Teachers Quorum and/or Presidency to present the "ACT" portion of Learn, Act, Share. They should take 5-6 minutes total. The more boys we can have participate in the quorum the better (perhaps say what ACT means to them and why they feel it is important after they have read the DTG booklet description of it).
2-Assign a closing prayer (and let me know who it is prior to the 6:00 start).
3-Be in the Relief Society room 15 minutes early to help set up
Cam:
1-Bring 2 dozen cookies
2-Find someone to play the piano (let me know if you need help asap) and ask a young man to conduct the opening/closing hymns
3-Be in the Relief Society room 15 minutes early to help set up
Gary:
1-Be prepared to discuss plans for summer camp and other camps as needed. It would be good to have a calendar of camps through August if possible so parents can plan accordingly.
Bryce:
1-Share whatever is necessary on your end. Maybe talk about progress toward Eagle projects and how close many of the boys are. Encourage parents to continue to assist and see their boys through the process.
Member of bishopric:
1-Provide concluding remarks (please gauge time; I don't want to exceed an hour total for the presentation part)
John:
1-Bring A/V for video
2-Bring 3 dozen cookies
3-Work with the Priests Quorum to present the "SHARE" portion of Learn, Act, Share. They should take 5-6 minutes total. The more boys we can have participate in the quorum the better (perhaps say what SHARE means to them and why they feel it is important after they have read the DTG booklet description of it).
4-Be in the Relief Society room 15 minutes early to help set up

<Duty to God fireside_2014.doc>Hi everyone!
On Feb. 23, we will have a fireside at 6:00 p.m. in the RS room.
We'll be in and out in an hour or less. We will also have some refreshments.
The objective is to educate and inspire the youth and their parents on the DTG program. We'll refocus on that and integrate that more tightly into our teaching and Sunday activities, and we need to help the parents know we can only do so much as leaders. It has to be adopted and supported at home as well to really work the way it should.
We will also inform them as to upcoming Scouting activities (summer camp dates, how much $$ we will request each boy provides for the Council camp, etc.).
I'd like to propose the attached agenda and get feedback.
For the video, I'd like to show the 6:43 video at this link:
I'd love to have the Quorum Presidents/Assistants lead the DTG part. That would require that the YM Pres. work with them so they are ready to share what the program is and does for boys and families. Tje Pres. would probably have to step in and help as needed.
Gary and Bryce can lead the BSA part; would be nice if we could get the senior patrol leader to introduce them or help with that discussion as well.
Any thoughts/comments?
Thanks!
