GIRL'S NIGHT OUT

Last night I attended this event at a church Paul and I have been checking out. I signed up to decorate a table because I enjoy doing that kind of thing.

It was a lot of fun. Here are some photos and comments to enjoy.

This is the gym. They strung a cord the length of the gym and hung the small white lights from side to side and up over the cord in the center making the canopy effect. Then they hung paper lanterns from the lights. The big gym lights you see up high were turned off when the event started making for a very nice effect. Paul helped set up Friday night.

The following are some of the decorated tables. If we were a decorater, we were to bring the disposable plates, cups, napkins and plastic wear. Then we made some kind of centerpiece.




This is my table. I purchased the vase, rocks, and plants in the middle. Everything else was stuff I had around the house.


I gave each person at my table their chop sticks (very inexpensive but pretty). I also made origami swans. I went to the library and got a book on how to do it and made the easiest design called Simple Swan.


This is a view of the platform where the podium was and where people made announcements, gave away door prizes (I did not get one) and the speaker presented from.

This is Mona. She was one of the event coordinators and the moderator for the evenings. She is very good at this kind of thing and very personable.

Our food was catered by Panda Express. There was lots of it and it was really good.

So I really enjoyed my night "in the Orient". It was fun and I got to meet people and make new friends.
