I am excited about our upcoming New Beginnings. I based several of my ideas from this blog. Here is what we have planned:
Excerpt
about New Beginnings from the handbook:
“This
event helps young women and their parents learn about the Young Women program.
It includes an explanation of Personal Progress and a
presentation of the Young Women theme, logo, motto,
and age-group
purpose statements and symbols (see 10.1).
It should help young women and their parents plan for events in the coming
year.”
“New Beginnings provides opportunities
for leaders to express love for the young women, encourage parents
to help their daughters in Personal Progress experiences, introduce young women who will
reach age 12 in the coming year, and welcome young women who have
joined the Church or moved into the ward. It is a time to recognize young women and
their accomplishments in Personal Progress. The Young Women presidency
invites a member of the bishopric to give concluding remarks.”
Decorations
and Set Up:
Have chairs set up like chairs in a large airplane. Large screen up front with a time lapse video
of the sky so it looks more like we’re flying.
Souvenir Photo booth for after the program with pilot hats and aviator
sun glasses. Dessert table with all the
values and colors.
Flight
Attendant Costumes: Dark skirts or pants, button up shirts, a
scarf/ascot, and name tags

FLIGHT SCRIPT: (#
indicates a pause because of a presentation or just a pause for effect):
Good
evening passengers. This is your Co-Pilot speaking. On behalf of myself, the
captain and the other co-pilots, I’d like to welcome everyone to Embark
Airlines, where we will be traveling nonstop to New Beginnings, departing in
just a few minutes…
#
Ladies
and gentlemen, it seems that we have a late arrival - a passenger from a
connecting flight is running down the fairway, so we’re going to stop for her -
and that will mean a short delay in our departure, but we will be getting
underway in just a few minutes…
# pause while late-passenger enters & performs - NOT
LISTED IN THE PROGRAM that we handed out, we had a surprise (planned)
late-arrival of a YW with large amounts of luggage who (comically) kept trying
to stow her bags in the (non-existent)overheard compartments or shove them
under peoples seats. This was just for fun and was a big hit.
#
Before we take off, we will begin
with an in-flight opening song “Put your Shoulder to the Wheel”.
__________________ will be our chorister, followed by a prayer given by
_______________. After the song and prayer, please relax and enjoy the rest of
the flight.
#
Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of
the flight crew I ask that you please direct your attention to the flight
attendants as they present YW procedures.
Beehives Class
Presidency: Beehive purpose statement and symbol and Young Women Logo
Mia Maid Class
Presidency: Mia Maid purpose statement and symbol and presentation of the Young

We ask that you make sure that all
carry-on luggage is stowed away safely during the flight. Most importantly, please
remember to keep your heart, might, mind and strength in
the upright and locked position.
#
At this
time, I am turning off the fasten seat belts sign so that everyone may stand
and join us in reciting the YW Theme. If you are a first-time flier, please
refer to the YW theme poster. Flight
attendants, please lead the passengers in reciting the YW theme.

The
captain is turning on the fasten seatbelts sign, Please return to your seats
and refer to your flight itinerary (program) for the duration of the flight.
