I came across this really good idea on Sugardoodle a few weeks ago by Melanie. From there I adjusted and changed a few things to create our own program.
Melanie Davidson created this really cute graphic including the value colors in the rings and the YW Torch. I used her graphic and created this announcement/invitation.
Last night for Young Womens I had the Laurels and Mia Maids create Sashes and flags that the girls will wear as they follow the 'torch bearer' (the Laurel President) into the room. As the Olympic music is being played they will all proceed into the room in the order of the value colors. The Laurel president made a torch similar to the YW Torch that she will carry into the room. She will then speak about the 2010 theme, torch and motto. The girls following in will be each assigned a value. Each value will be assigned a woman from the scriptures that they will all speak about once the torch is passed to them.
Sariah for Faith
Elisabeth for Individual Worth
Mary for Divine Nature
Emma Smith for Knowledge
Esther for Integrity
Ruth for Good Works
Hanna for Choice and Accountablility
Eve for Virtue
I got these scripts from the Layton Hills Stake for the first 7 values. I am still working on writing up a script for Eve on Virtue.

Throughout the rest of the program I have an athlete speaking and the young women presidency will be introducing the new girls and recognizing those that have already received their awards. We will each explain the yw symbols and meanings. We will also be going through the new Personal Progress stuff and explaining changes and new awards/certificates.
The bishop will then close with his remarks. After that we will be presenting the girls all with a little gift. I ordered wooden roses online getting them all in the value colors. So each of the girls will be getting a little bouquet of these gorgeous wooden roses in all the value colors.
I will take pictures of the roses, banners and flags on the night and post them here.
I am excited to see how this all turns out. Please feel free to share any suggestions you may have!
