It was another happy day with a group of our sisters, the
Daughters of the Utah Pioneers of the Salt Lake Olympus Company. We were able
to share messages as well as sing with these amazing daughters, and also celebrate several of them who are celebrating a special recognition of being
over 90 years old! Thank you for our
beautiful Daughters of the Utah Pioneer pins, we are honored to have them.
Sharing our love for the pioneers through ministering, speaking, and inspiring individuals in Utah and surrounding areas

Pioneer Kids Service Day
We had a very “cool” day with the teams of diligent 6th graders from 2 elementary schools in Farmington. The day began with a train-ride through “This is The Place” park, where our very own Brittny Millington (2nd Attendant) was able to give the tour. (She worked at “This is the Place” for 3 years!)
It was inspirational to work alongside the kids as they caught on quickly to the Pioneer spirit of hard work and began pulling and hauling large overgrown thistles, bags full of weeds and twigs, and all with fun attitudes, singing, joking, speaking Spanish, story-telling, and rapping while they worked. We are grateful to have been able to work with such a respectful and pleasant group!

DUP Gale City Camp
We had an amazing morning as we got to provide the musical
number and a short program for the closing meeting for the South Jordan Daughters of the Utah Pioneers- Gale City Camp. We were so impressed by
this strong group of women as they shared their experiences with us and
experiences of their pioneer ancestors.
Thank you to these amazing women, we hope they have an amazing summer
until they meet again in September.

Pass the Baton Luncheon
It was a Luncheon full of love and learning as we got to sit
down with the Days of ‘47 royalty of 2016 and learn how they made last year so
successful. (89 events!) Baylee, Rachel and Stephanie have left us big boots to
fill, and great advice of how-to, while also making 2017 our own. We are grateful for their selfless examples
of service. We are also excited that all
three are sporting rings on their left hand after such a successful reign. Congratulations to Stephanie, who was married
August 2016. Rachel, who is about to be married (May 2017), and Baylee, on her
engagement to be married in September 2017.

Days of '47 Board Meeting
We were pleased to be able to meet the members of the Days of ’47 Board today as we took part in the tradition of bringing cookies as part of our introduction in their board meeting. (Classic Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Crispies, and Lemon Surprise.) We are thrilled this year to move forward with increased social media use to spread our devotion to the pioneers and invite others to participate in all the events and activities. We have a Facebook account (Days of ’47 Royalty) that is updated regularly, as well as an Instagram (@daysof47royalty), Twitter, and an up and coming YouTube channel.
It is also part of our Vision in this year’s Horizon to reach out to different cultural groups in speaking and service events. Our Queen Maren served a mission in Nagoya Japan, and is fluent in Japanese. And the Attendants served Spanish speaking missions. (Tess in San Diego, California, and Brittny in Little Rock, Arkansas.) We hope to be able to reach out to all groups to help them feel the power of the pioneers.
