Evening of Dignity - Mother's Day Event

June 02, 2007 

 

Our Bishop and Parry Ellingson orchestrated this wonderful event that allowed all the boys and their bothers and father and grand fathers to come together to provide an evening of dignity for our Moms.  Boys had to wear appropriate attire for their specific position. Busses needed White shirts with a bow tie and black pants, to match the waiters. Kitchen staff could be casual.
