Daughters of Utah Pioneers District Convention
So many people to say thank you to. So many little miracles happened. I missed Janice Peterson and her proof
reading skills this year. I made a major mistake on the invitation. The Address Was Wrong! Thanks to Pasty, who wanted to make sure she
knew where she would be going, scouted out the destination ahead of time, and
after spending hours and not being able to find it, alerted Becky Franklin, who
alerted me! It gave me just enough time
to call the other Company Presidents, those coming from Victorville, San Bernardino and
Riverside, AND our visitor from Utah, to let them know of the mistake! That
would have been a disaster of gigantic proportions. Thank you Patsy.
Cula’s brother passed away, so she was on her way to Utah, and she had the music copies, they didn’t make
it to Laura, who volunteered to lead the music for us. Laura thought things through,
and ran off some more. Thank you Laura.
I figured I could make the cupcakes, remember we thought
that maybe we would have 35 people! I had cleared my calendar the week of the
convention to be able to get all the details finished. I am glad I did, my 5 month old grandson
ended up in PICU at CHOC hospital for that entire week. I had the 4 year old and 2 year old brothers,
so Dereks parents could be at the hospital.
I can’t get anything done except love and play with those little boys,
who were having trouble understanding why mom had to stay at the hospital with
baby Derek, and why they couldn’t come home.
So extra thanks to Sarah, Becky and Laura who stepped in and took care
of that.
Now a big thanks to all the things that went smoothly!
Lonna, really came
through with the building, she was there early, stayed late, and arranged for
missionary help, and most important stopped the basketball players from coming
in.
Our two future DUPers.
Aubry and Haley, the music was so sweet, you looked adorable, your moms
and grandmothers were so proud. Thank
you so much. We will be requesting your
talents again. Thank you, Kim and Amy for coordinating, and Jenny for her
beautiful accompaniment .
Lisa and Fred, it was so nice not to worry about the
food. It looked great and tasted great!
Thanks
Kim and Trudy, the tables looked amazing. Lots of comments about the lovely centerpieces.
The favors were so pretty. Lots of hours went into those, and they were
a hit! What a special talent you have Trudy.
Jayne lent us her tablecloths, the black and yellow worked
beautifully. Thanks Jayne, we will use some of them again at Jubilee.
Amy, thanks for your help in the bookstore. I didn’t realize what a job that was! Ellen Jeppson was pleased with the sales.
Pat, thanks for collecting the money, you don’t get to visit
with people, and your shopping time was short, so thanks for stepping in for
Janice.
Thanks to my husband, who was the official priesthood leader,
he was swamped with work, but thanks to wireless internet he was able to “get
er done”.
And thanks to all who came, when our company stood up for
roll call, there were people I didn’t recognize. I hope to see you all at Jubilee. I need a company photographer, Becky, could you share the pictures you took of the girls singing?
