BROOKSHIRE YWIE SCRIPT 2016

This basket of poppies represent the poppie field in the Wizard of Oz, As Dorothy,
andthe Scarecrow, the Lion and the tin man came out of the Woods and gazed upon
the Emerald City, Dorothy exclaimed “There’s The Emerald City Oh we’re almost there
at last at last…..They rushed into the poppie field running towards the City - ‘Run, Run,
Hurry, Hurry!’.  They did not know that the wicked witch had put a spell on the poppies
and as they ran through the field, Dorothy began to get sleepy and could not run
anymore,“Here give us your hand and we shall pull you along’...says Scarecrow, as
Dorothy fell asleep. Noticing their plight the Tinman and Scarecrow began to yell,
“Help! Help!...” Glinda the good witch hears their cries and makes it snow! Awakening
Dorothy and the Lion and no sooner are they back on their way towards the Emerald City!


We have some amazing young women who we want to acknowledge tonight and
award them this poppie.Our girls are on their journey towards the emerald city,
which is the Temple which leads to Eternal Life.  While on their journey they have
and will encounter opposition, which can lead them on another path away from our
Savior.  Even though these oppositions come our girls are prepared to face them,
like Dorothy they have good friends, family, teachers, the prophet and the holy ghost
to guide them. We all know that the Wizard of Oz awards them with the thing they
want the most, Just like our Heavenly Father has promised us if we keep his
commandments and overcome these oppositions in our life we will also be blessed.  
If we look inside the poppie we find a caramel apple, which is sweet and delicious!
And we hope that as our girls overcome their oppositions in their life they will also
be able to learn and grow and enjoy the sweetjoy of happiness our HFather & Savior
gives them.


I will now award our girls with their Poppies:

God has a love for animals, and for her siblings. She’s an awesome big sister
and an example of Divine Nature and to us as to how to love others!

This daughter of God has a smile on her face all the time, when asking for
help she’s one of the first to raise her hand, she doesn’t mind getting her
hands dirty either. She is a great example of Good Works! - Karsen Fox


I also want to acknowledge these girls and the time they took to plan
this event and decorate and made food for this evening. We love your
girls and pray for them that they will be happy the kind of happiness
our HF & Savior wants for them which is eternal and I say this in the
name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Hats Off! Hat Etiquette for Everyone

The Who-What-When-Where of the Hat
Hats aren’t the essential article of clothing they once were but are still worn by both sexes for fashion and for function. Knowing when to remove a hat is as important as wearing the right hat for the occasion. If you were a medieval knight who failed to remove his helmet or lift his visor and identify himself the consequences could be fatal. Throughout history hats identified social standing and removing a hat was a gesture of respect. In the “old days,” men took off their hats in Christian churches, when they entered someone’s home, when greeting a boss, and always in the presence of a lady. Ladies were entirely exempt from “hat rules,” wearing them whenever and where ever they wished. While some of these customs are now historical footnotes, even in today’s casual culture men and women still remove their hats as a sign of respect. Cancer patients are exempt from hat rules. They may keep their hats or caps on at all times if they wish. Here’s when it’s fine to wear your hat and when it’s not:

Men

Hats can be left on…

  • Outdoors
  • At athletic events (indoors or out)
  • On public transportation
  • In public buildings such as post offices, airports,  and hotel or office lobbies
  • On elevators

Take hats off, including baseball caps …

  • In someone’s home
  • At mealtimes, at the table
  • While being introduced, indoors or out (unless it’s frigid!)
  • In a house of worship, unless a hat or head covering is required
  • Indoors at work, especially in an office (unless required for the job)
  • In public buildings such as a school, library, courthouse, or town hall
  • In restaurants and coffee shops
  • At a movie or any indoor performance
  • When the national anthem is played
  • When the flag of the United States passes by, as in a parade

Women

Fashion hats (not baseball-style caps) can be left on…

  • In someone’s home
  • At luncheons, weddings, garden parties
  • At religious services
  • At a movie or any indoor performance
  • When the national anthem is played
  • When the flag of the United States passes by, as in a parade

Take your fashion hat off…

  • Anytime it blocks someone’s view, such as at a wedding or in a theater
  • Indoors at work

Remove baseball-style (unisex) caps…

  • In someone’s home
  • At mealtimes, at the table
  • While being introduced
  • In a house of worship, unless a hat or head covering is required
  • Indoors at work, unless required for the job
  • In public buildings such as a school, library, courthouse, or town hall
  • In restaurants and coffee shops
  • At a movie or any indoor performance
  • When the national anthem is played
  • When the flag of the United States passes by, as in a parade
