DUP Jubilee 2018

DUPJubilee 2017

Our Jubilee lesson was on Samplers.  We had quite a collection among us.  It was fun to share. We had lunch, and I got out the old tablecloths that had been embroidered by my grandmother, and great grandmother.  The awards were Dottie Allred and La Don Forsgreen 5 year pins, and Kathlyn Murie 25 year pin

DUP Christmas Party

Our DUP Christmas Party was held in Ellen's lovely Home.  We honored Jayne McCook as our Pioneer Woman of Today . We also had a successful Service Project for the shelter for women recently released from prison. We catered the food from Corner Bakery.  I know we played the fun game that has since become a tradition that Janice Peterson came up with.  Lots of Laughs.  I shared Brads wood working Nativity's and how he feels about making them. Each of the daughters got an ornament that he made .

DUP Jubilee 2016

Boy, am I bad about getting pictures.  I realized that at the end, and took pictures of the food.
One of the fun activities we did was get on the computer and find out who was related to who. Laura did such a good job of getting the ladies to particulate. The membership pins were 5 year Marilyn Larsen, 10 year Marlene Anderson,Tracy Teters, Michelle Mahlstede, Lynn Van Vuskirk and Wanda Wach.  We played a speed friend shipping game which was a lot of fun. A memory game with great prizes. We wee all encouraged to write out own history.

DUP Jubilee 2015

Daughters of Utah Pioneers Jubilee 2015

We always have so much fun at our Jubilee.  This year we welcomed a new member, and Honored Becky Franklin as our Pioneer Woman of Today. Ellen gave an interesting lesson using some interesting pioneer artifacts.  The center pieces were pioneer "Goody" cans. They were filled with recipes, games, a handkerchief doll, and my son Brad made a whirligig toy for each of the cans. They are so much fun to play with. As always the food was great, and we had lots of fun visiting .

Thanks for your Help

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?

More thanks and the recipe!

Lonna let me know about Brenda Larson, who was a great help, She set up the displays, did the table decorations, assisted Trudy.  Dottie also helped with the set up.  I hope Brenda will join the Daughters in the Euclid Camp.


Kim sent her recipe for that wonderful Salad.

Craisins Salad by Kim Koyle

1 head red leaf lettuce

1 head green leaf lettuce

1 head iceberg lettuce

1 (8 oz.) package shredded mozzarella cheese

1 (8 oz.) package shredded Parmesan cheese

1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled

1 (8 oz.) package Craisins

1 c. sliced almonds, toasted

Break red and green leaf lettuce into pieces.  Chop iceberg lettuce.  Toss together with the other ingredients except the bacon.  (I heat bacon just prior to serving to release the yummy flavor.)  Add bacon and toss.

Craisins Salad Dressing

½ c. red wine vinegar

1 c. sugar

½ onion, chopped

1 ½ t. salt

2 t. mustard

1 c. canola oil

In blender mix all ingredients, except oil.  Add oil and blend again.

Either pass the dressing around with the salad or toss with the salad. 

Enjoy
