It takes 3 months to prepare, plan and coordinate this RMA Ladies Tea event each year. What all has to happen? Here's a few of the details that take place. Each leader has thought out carefully her part in the entire afternoon. From choosing her table themes to go along with what I have lined out - to having meetings with her own team members to get started. She has chosen her table ideas carefully to not only be beautiful to look at, but it has a message as well. Then the gathering begins, as each one starts finding the items for her tables one by one. From the table coverings, to chair ideas, to chargers, silverware, napkins and special napkin rings - everything must work with the idea of her table meaning. Then the grand design of her centerpieces is designed. Each one is unique and exquisite! I will show you each one they designed - you are going to enjoy this!
Then the food is planned for from each team. I decided some time ago that our events will always have healthy energizing food for women to enjoy. Lists of types of good food - goes back and forth across email as we plan for a wonderful feast for the eyes and mouths.
Then we work on the actual presentations of the event. We choose special music for pre-service and post service to be played. We choose special singers and songs to sing during the Tea. We have praise dancers that minister, sometimes there are poems and special readings that are shared all about the theme. Door prizes and special attentions are given to the ladies attending. There are details such as who will be the Floor Director? Carolyn did a great job as the Floor Director, and she was so busy I didn't get a good picture of her as she was flying past! (She is the first lady pictured here with the microphone) Who is going to manage the sound for the event? Who will be the special speaker this year? Special Surprise! It was Angela my daughter - and I am so very proud of her.
Then there are the plans for the actual advertisements and graphics for promotional. The layout and design of the bulletin that will be handed out at the event. The business cards presented for RMA. Plans for set up with drawings of the room layout for Tea tables and food tables. Then who is in charge of set ups with tables, chairs and who will need electricity at their tables etcs. Then post -event take down and clean up crews are planned. Every detail is attended to.
This year we unveiled our Role Models of America blog. After 10 years of ministry we are ready to reach out to the world. It's address is www.rolemodelofamerica.org and we are proud to release it openly. It reveals our hearts and lives of learning how to be a role model to the world. It's many subjects are real and personal - and powerfully life changing to all who will read it.
Each of these Role Models worked very hard to make this event a success. Well done!
