Family Reunion Idea


Summer is approaching and we all know that many families gather for reunions of all shapes and sizes. This year’s primary theme goes perfectly with family reunions! “My Eternal Family” wristbands worn by each family member are a great way for the children, youth and adults to solidify the concept of family togetherness. The wristbands come in a variety of colors, and when you order you can specify how many of each color you want. A couple of ideas:
1. Purchase unique color for each branch of the family and ask them to wear them during the duration of the reunion. You will always know who belongs to what part of the family (as that can get a little confusing depending on the numbers!).
2. Purchase all one color for the entire reunion and then if you are at a public place (campground, waterpark, beach, themepark) you can easily identify family members (or stragglers that may wander off).
3. Purchase the glow in the dark wristbands (white) for the youth or children that might enjoy night games or a dance. It is fun to swing your arms around…kids can find ways to make this fun!


Have fun with your families!

With the recent addition a of young women value “virtue” we put together a virtue kit to introduce the idea to young women’s groups. With a poster that says “Return to Virtue” , balloons, napkins with “virtue” stamped in gold and invitations, this package is ready to be used in a variety of ways. One Young Women leader had an evening with the girls and their parents to spotlight the new value and the emphasis it should have in each girl’s life.

We hope this is a useful package for you and we would love to hear how you have used it so we can pass on your success stories to other Young Women's leaders looking for ideas!
