After the presentation of awards & certificates and the recognition of leaders, Grace and Maeve gave the 2010-2011 Thrills and Skills secretary report together. It was very impressive to hear all that our group accomplished over the past year. The girls summarized all the meals we shared, several of our outdoor activities, the wide variety of projects we participated in, and the MANY accomplishments our members enjoyed! What was also impressive was the poise and (excuse the pun) "grace" these two displayed. They spoke clearly, loudly and confidently in front of their audience! You've made us proud, ladies - very proud, indeed!
After last year's reports were completed, we witnessed this year's Installation of Officers. Ingrid (not pictured) Shannon, Maeve (who, trust me, was more thrilled about her new position than this picture indicates), Kathleen, and Emma all took the oath for their respective positions.
After our dinner and awards ceremony several members attended the Tamarac football game while still others attended the middle school dance. Busy night in town, eh? That left several of our junior members with the chance to get in a project meeting! Mrs. Gorbaty provided us with the supplies and instruction for a really cool leather braiding project!
We learned a valuable lesson, however.... starting after 8pm on a very tricky project was probably not a really good idea. We decided to revisit the project at another meeting (with more rested brains) - which was a good idea, because...
the project can be done! After a good night's rest, this was the result! Who's up for revisiting this project? Tricky Braided Bracelets would be a great addition to the fair, don't cha' think?
