We always had a MIA Youth dance presentation, and the grand march as the last dance of the evening. Was a most wonder time with bits and pieces of long ago mixed into the evening with everyone wearing their very best with the Sisters wearing special made dresses and gowns. Wonderful memories.

But, these type of dances are not planned often like way back when a G and G Ball occurred in the spring every year. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment. <br />Talk soon.Renée TOMLINSON PETERSENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116698211571259134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111973160695539276.post-44774682354519806092017-02-19T21:47:03.985-08:002017-02-19T21:47:03.985-08:00We didn't join the Church until 1992, but I do...We didn't join the Church until 1992, but I do remember hearing about the Green and Gold Balls. In fact, I think they still had one here when we moved here. I know I saw a cultural hall all decorated and someone said it was for the Green and Gold Ball but maybe this is just in my imagination. But I have heard of them. Didn't realize they were for kids and adults. Thought they were only for adults. Interesting, the different ways people created entertainment for themselves.Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485649263574102604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111973160695539276.post-30171248311776931422017-02-19T15:46:38.037-08:002017-02-19T15:46:38.037-08:00Hi Nancy,

And, crowning a Queen went out way before then. <br />I guess you can calk it up to the "good ole' days,"Renée TOMLINSON PETERSENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116698211571259134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-111973160695539276.post-5215378653417349652017-02-18T17:36:34.065-08:002017-02-18T17:36:34.065-08:00What a fun memory, Renée.

By the time we joined the church in 1986 I think these balls had passed out of existence. They sound like they could have been fun.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.com
