Institute Graduation and a Gold and Green Ball

For this year (it has been done differently other years), Institute Graduation for Dundee Stake was combined with Seminary Graduation, followed by a big Stake dance, the Gold and Green Ball.

The graduation was notable for 1. The stake President was dressed in his formal kilt; 2. Also present to congratulate the students was the Fife Deputy Lord Provost, Kay Morrison (the Lord Provost is the civic head and chair of the Council). It was great to have community involvement. 3. Elder and Sister Bylund both spoke (briefly,perhaps not so notable). There was only one Institute Graduate, although 30 YSAs received Certificates of Course Completion for one or both of the semesters.

 The Stake Gold and Green Ball was elegantly done. The decorations were amazing, the tables were loaded with food, and a two piece live “band” provided the music. Interestingly, there was a cash bar for the drinks, which was not something we were familiar with for a Stake function.

 A wonderful time was had by all.
