In this meeting our topic was thankfulness. It was properly fitted because in November and in this month we have Thanksgiving. We started off the meeting on a PowerPoint on thankfulness. This PowerPoint helped teach the members of the formal definition of what thankfulness is. Next, we had a discussion group of what we are thankful for. As a group we decided that we are thankful for our family and friends because these are very important people to us. We also discuss "Why" we were thankful for them. After this Julie our Tea & Etiquette president showed us the proper way to greet guests at a thanksgiving dinner.
There we learned that treating guests with compassion is important. Also we learned the proper way to greet people we may not know at our thanksgiving dinner. Our arts and craft for this meeting were making construction paper turkeys. This was a very fun activity. All the girls enjoyed doing them.
In our lovely meeting that is now on the second Thursday of every month we went over the important topic of respect. We went over the fundamentals of respect and how it should be applied to others. We agreed as a group that respect is something that has to be given in order to be received. We also established the fact that respect toward our families is a great importance. When we finished our discussion of respect and the importance of it, we made individual family trees. By making these trees we were able to get to know each other more and the importance of family in our lives. As we were doing these family trees and coloring them we ate some delicious cookies. Overalll, our first meeting of Ladies Tea & Etiquette Club it was very fun; we were able to meet some interesting people and make new friends.
