Young Men update (11-15-2015)

Hi everyone! 

This Wednesday, we plan to travel to the State Capitol for a tour.

We handed out permission slips today--please make sure you sign them for the young men so they can bring them on Wednesday.

Please plan to meet at the stake center at 6:30 p.m. Expect everyone to be home between 8:30-9:00.

Thanks!

Young Men update (11-3-2015)

Hi everyone! We've got some good things to report this week!

A big welcome to new leaders!

Cody Backus--has been called as the Priests Quorum Advisor

Kaelen Gustafson--has been call as the Deacons Quorum Advisor and an Asst. Scoutmaster

This Wednesday we don't have an activity, because Friday is BAPTISMS FOR THE DEAD.

Please plan to meet at the stake center this Friday at 4:15 p.m. We must be dressed and ready by 5:00. The dinner will be at 6:30 (youth are free but adults are not).

We will plan to start Citizenship in the Nation for the many of the Scouts that still need it THIS SATURDAY MORNING. Bishop Anderson has been kind enough to begin teaching this. He will be reaching out to the boys we show as needing it. If your son needs it, please make sure you email him for details:

Young Men update (10-27-2015)

Hi!

This Wednesday we have SCOUTS--Stake Center--7:00 p.m.

We will plan to start Citizenship in the Nation for the many of the Scouts that still need it, review where some of the older Scouts are rank-wise/merit badge-wise, and go over paperwork for three of the Eagle candidates!

A big THANKS to those who attended and helped set up/take down/bring food, etc. for THE YOUNG AND THE WISE last Wednesday (see attached pics). It was a huge success, and many of the people we've discussed the activity with said they had a really great time. Thanks again!

Next Wednesday (11-4) we will not have YM. Rather, we will go to the temple on 11-6 for baptisms for the dead and then eat in the cafeteria with the rest of the ward. This will be an early activity (we'll need to leave relatively early from the church). Stay tuned for more details!

Thanks!

Details for YOUNG AND THE WISE: This Wednesday

Hi everyone!

I spoke with Jen Harmon (2nd ward YW Pres.). We had a very good conversation, and we were able to arrive at a good compromise for both parties.

We will partition the cultural hall. The 2nd ward will need the kitchen and the cultural hall/stage area, and we will take the south side of the cultural hall.

They will need the round tables and a few rectangular tables for food, so we will have all rectangular tables this year.

Please review assignments below, and please reply to me asap if you see any problems or issues with these assignments:

Assignments:

Set up—Bryce to lead with Steve S. and Brett H. assisting; other leaders and YM to come and help at 5:45 or as close as possible (event starts at 6:30)

Paper goods—Steve Backus to let us know if we need to buy more or have enough at the church

Tablecloths—John will bring 15--all rectangular

Centerpieces—if desired, YW can bring them

Soups—

John Dye--2

Bryce--1

Steve Walker--1

Bishop Anderson--1

Bishop Mooy--1

Steve S.--1

Young Women leaders--3

Rolls (140 total with honey butter; these are always a favorite)—YW
(Lucinda, will a YW leader be able to order these and pick them up from a local Golden Corral? That is where we usually go. I am concerned YM will be setting up and we cannot spare a body).

Salad—Steve Walker

Activity/game—Rick Pearmain and Steve Backus to MC

Anything I am missing?

Thank you for your help! This will be fun!

Young Men update (10-13-2015)

Hi!

This Wednesday we will be working on Scout skills! 
Wednesday--Stake Center--7:00 p.m.

Murray High has their last home football game on the evening before Fall Break, so we realize attendance may be lower than normal.

Thanks!

Young Men update (10-5-2015)

Hi everyone!

I hope you enjoyed General Conference this past weekend. It was historic (probably once in a lifetime) as we welcomed three brethren into the Quorum of the Twelve. 

Last week was the AMAZING RACE. I think all the youth (and leaders) had an amazing time! Thanks to the YW for hosting the event!

This Wednesday we have a stake youth fireside!
Wednesday--Stake Center--7:00 p.m.

The fireside will consist of having the Bishops from all 8 wards form a panel and answer questions texted to them by youth of the stake. Please let your youth know the number (715-600-8499), and let them know all questions will be kept anonymous. No need to put their names on the texts.

-The local wards are in charge of youth conference next year. We have done both early year (January) and mid-year (summer) conferences before, and in talking with Bishop's Youth Council this past Sunday, it appears the consensus was to try to have it in January 2016.

We are trying to determine the best dates. Please reply back with any dates (Friday/Sat.) that DO NOT work for your young man (due to athletics, etc.). The options we are looking at include these dates:

8/9

15/16

22/23

29/30

Thanks!
