I've compiled a bunch of funny, yet very proper and honest-to-goodness true rules of etiquette into a book that I have titled," Gracious Dining: For Gregarious Eaters and other Guilty Gluttons." Each youth will receive their own copy, and be lead in its instruction and application by it's renowned author...Yes...That would be me...
My plan is to combine three staunch, pious, and pivotal personna morphed into one being...Yes...That would be me with the help of DI and Savers...
Take the fashion sense of Dolores Umbridge:
With the renowned and antiquity of:
And the omniscient and narcissism of:
Boy...are those kids in for a ride...Bon Appetit!!

Waaaay cool! Your approach will ensure that these youth never forget the rules they'll learn. Your booklet sounds like something that should be published!

these people should be able to get it printed if it's something you're thinking about. I'd love a copy.
We, i believe 9th ward, tried to do something like this and took them all to Chuck-a-rama...it might have been the YM president that was in charge?????
I still have really bad anger issues with that memory...(shudder)
are you the pres??? do you like your ward?
When we moved in, I was made Assistant Camp Director...We were in the process of starting to build a home in a subdivision my sister lives in...We had the floor plans, and the lot all ready to go...I come back from camp, and both Andy and I feel really prompted to try and stay in this ward (which is PHENOMENALl!) and we found the house we are in now, only a year old, 4500(finished) and for a sweet price...It was an AMAZING thing to watch unfold...I was then called as 2nd Counselor in YW...Later,the YW president told me that when we first moved into the ward, she had a strong prompting that I should be the next 2nd counselor--but she kept fighting this prompting, because she did not see the reason for it, because we would be leaving when our house was done being built at the beginning of the year...BUT...The feeling persisted, so she went ahead and submitted my name, and the following week, I came to church with the news that we had bought this house in the neighborhood, and that we'd be staying!
So--NOPE not the prez (yeah!) and YES we LOVE the ward!!
That sounds like so much fun! I would love to be a young woman in your ward!
They are so lucky to have you! I hope you know that!
Some days, I feel like I have lost my sense of fun. I just feel tired and ornery all the time. You inspire me!
Let us know how it all goes.
Back in the day I used "Miss Manners' Guide to Rearing Perfect Children" by Judith Martin to gleen the intended result; and yes, I do have perfect children. ahem.
It was and is still a great resourse. She has very practical scenarios which some may find a tad over the top, but in reality if used would make the world a much easier and nicer place to live.
That said, your guide sounds like the perfect updated version. I think you are awesome for taking the time and effort to write and publish a copy for them to take home as a reference.
I cursty to the Queen!
oh yeah, and "Chuck-A-Rama"? That name just conjurs up all kinds of red flags for a dining experience! Are these the same folks who decided "Dress Barn" is a good name for a women's fashion store?
What were they thinking? lol
(curious minds wondering why you are still having anger issues....ooooh do tell)
Smee,
Chuck o Rama is um, not a place where you would go for that kind of thing. It's an all you can eat, buffet, which ... um.. lets just say leaves a lot to be desired, and certainly NOT where you would take kids for manners night.
Good heavens.
