As Jena's value experience for Good Works and for a part of my Wood Badge ticket, she and I worked together (with help from Gary and the Mia Maids and Teachers) to organize and put on a Rain Gutter Regatta for the Morgan County Special Needs Mutual. Jena designed flyers and made announcements, and put together the bottles for the boats. Gary and I set up the Church with the rain gutters, tables, etc. The Mutual meets at a Chapel in Peterson, Utah, about 40 minutes away. Jena's friend Maddie attends that Mutual with her mom who serves in the YW presidency for the Mutual. Here is Jena getting ready to help Maddie race her boat. Our Mia Maids and Teachers came to assist and they were AWESOME. They jump right in to help each person design their sail and assemble their boats. In addition, they helped blow the boats to the finish line. It was one of those events that worked better than we could have imagined and our youth would like to do it again. We are looking at a rocket shooting activity as part of a summer BBQ and perhaps to include the entire YW/YM which would be a possibility of almost 100 kids.
