Girls Club learns first aid

     Last Friday, Mary Ann Hopkins, a retired nurse, taught the girls basic first aid.  Starting with the correct way to wash hands  and covering small cuts and wounds, she ended with how to bandage a head wound.  The girls learned the right way to apply a band aid, and how to put on rubber gloves.  It was very informative and useful for girls who are often in charge of younger brothers and sisters.  They learned what they could handle and when to call 911.  Mary Ann will finish up next week with sprains and slings.  What fun!

They got this part down pat, and after the lesson turned them into balloons!

Valentine's Day Dinner Party a Hit!

 On Friday, February 11th, the girls hosted their 2nd annual Valentines Dinner party and mentor appreciation.  They invited the ladies who had helped them in their many activities this year.  Nineteen girls and eight ladies gathered for a feast of spaghetti and meatballs, salad, dessert and Ms. Sally's famous punch.   The tables looked beautiful, as the girls had worked hard making place cards, centerpieces and decorations.  Ms. Lu provided all the paper goods and candy favors, Ms. Carol brought a yummy red jello salad and more favors, Ms. Judy the bread, and Ms Mary Ann brought the delicious cupcakes.  Ms. Caitlin even folded all the red napkins into hearts!

After a fun game on their knowledge of etiquette, they all learned the proper way to set a table.  Manners were also discussed, with lots of laughs on what was proper and what was not.  Candles and soft piano music (cd) really set the mood.  The day ended with listening to the Fathers Love Letter a collection of over 50 bible verses telling of God's great love for us.

It was truly a day filled with love.
