We had a VERY casual HFPE this time.  We usually start in the RS room, but we didn’t even do that – we set up 2 long tables in the multi-purpose (nursery) room and did everything from there.  We sat around the tables, passing handouts, etc.

We are using the Reflect the Light of the Lord program this year as our main theme. In addition, I've tried to base classes/lessons around what is being taught each month in RS, since we were told to base our Enrichment nights around the monthly lessons.

We use our enrichment night as that it was so close to the actual date of R.S. B-day date. We already had scheduled a gentleman to come in from a local nursery to talk about gardening and test soil samples that we each brought in from our yards.

We set up the gym in a big half circle. On the outer edge, we put white halogen lamps and fake trees with lights. We had the lamps so that they we on dim, just to give it enough light to eat with but make it feel like a fancy restaurant.

I've been the Enrichment leader for 7 months now, and I still look back to one particular activity in awe. We had the most relaxing, enjoyable time doing a Spiritual Spa Retreat.

We asked each sister to bring a display of their service or a certificate that night (a free haircut, pair of scissors, etc.)  We also had certificates available that night for them to fill out if they didn't make one.

We in our RS are currently trying to bridge the gap between YW and RS, our June activity helped do that.  For this years YW's camp the theme was A Wilderness of Colors, each branch in our district was assigned a YW's value color (which worked great as we have 7 branches)

After years of the Movie night being on The Homemaking Cottage it has been done successfully in many wards.  These are ideas shared by these sisters.    Don't forget that the original night was created by Cathy Colton.
