YOU MATTER!
Our next event can not take place without help from you !
An event like this could not take place without people willing to be a part of it! If you would like to help ensure that this event happens again, please consider helping in one of the areas below. Once we know if there is enough available help, we will look at setting a 2020 Spring Date once the school calendars have been released in order to avoid the most conflicts. for

What Is This Event About?
We want to offer an opportunity not only for moms and daughters to spend some quality time together, but open the doors to all females to be encouraged and challenged by their peers/mentors while having a great time! We want to be women who are fostering relationships that are intentionally building one another up in whatever phases of life we are each in! We want to also provide young girls an opportunity to develop some new friendships while learning some new dances and songs, making crafts, and participating in jazzercise without a cost attached. Most importantly, we want to capitalize on the fact that if we know Christ as our personal Savior then we truly are princesses of a Heavenly King.

Updated Schedule
What Else Do I Need To Know?
These are some quick instructions & notes to help our event go as smoothly as possible, and to give you a small taste of what to expect so you can plan accordingly! Due to our numbers, we need to do our best to run everything "on time" in order to maximize our time together, AND because it is a FULL house, you will want to arrive early to pick your seats!
* 8:30 AM Doors Officially Open! Please check in at our registration table to pick up your program, golden sun tag, and door prize slips. From there, you will enter the hallway leading into the gym and complete the following 3 things: 1 - Fill out a Name Tags (especially for your girls so our adults can help them throughout the event). 2 - You will write your names on the Suns provided when you check in. Place these suns where you wish to sit during lunch to reserve your seats either in the gym or family center. Please do not put any seats up to reserve for others as this is a walking hazard in our space. 3 - Write your full name clearly on your small Door Prize Slips and place them in the jars of the prizes you hope to win. We will draw these names during our last session and announce the winners after the girl's dance so any door prize slips need to be placed in jars by 10:30 am to be eligible. Each person attending is only allowed to win one door prize. . Then use the remaining time until 8:55 am to get pictures with our Disney Princesses, Miss Nebraska 2017*, at various photo-booths, and spend some time visiting with friends! * Due to another commitment, Miss NE will need to leave our event early so if you would like a picture with her, please do so before the event gets started.
* Because this is a predominately female event, some male bathrooms will be marked as "females only!" for the day.
* Ladies Panels will take place in the gym and sanctuary. If you wish to switch locations between sessions, please do so quickly and quietly as we will need to get started on the next session right away. Our goal is to have all sessions recorded so even if you miss a session that you really wanted to hear, you still can. After the event, we will send out a follow-up email with links and downloads to ALL sessions so you can listen to them at a time convenient for you. They will also be posted on this site under Session Downloads.
* Lauren Krug Photography & TrinJensen Photography will also be taking photos that day. Once they have gone through their photos and uploaded them to their sites, we will also let you know that those are available to download from this site under Event Photos!
* Our light lunch will include the following: Raising Canes Chicken Strips, Cheese Cubes, Apple Slices, Grapes/Watermelon, Baked Potatoe Chips, & a Cookie. Each seat will also have small dish of popcorn and m&m's. For an additional dessert treat, there will be a chocolate fountain for the following: marshmallows, graham crackers, pretzels, and rice krispies. If you need to bring your own lunch for various reasons, there will be some fridge space available. Just check in with our kitchen crew when you arrive to let them know. Please also know that you as the parent are in charge of helping your girls get their food and if you have children in the nursery you are responsible for feeding them.
* Girls will be going home with a HANDFUL of items (their crafts and some extra surprises)! Their bags will be in their craft rooms for the bulk of the event. Please remind them to go and get their bag at the END of the event, unless you need to leave early.
* Attire for the event is nice-casual to as dressy as you would like! If you or your girls wish to come as a princess, PLEASE DO and know that you are not the only ones doing so!
