institute council summer party

On Thursday, July 9th we had our end of the semester Institute Council party at Pres. Riggs' house. He made us bbq ribs, beans, potato salad and some other good eats (and lots of ice cream for dessert). I have really enjoyed serving on the Council for the past year with with such close friends and an incredible Institute teacher who was recently called to be our new stake president. I love this man. He reminds me of a mix between Pres. Monson and Dad, with a little extra goofy thrown in.
The placemats reminded me of the barber quartet on The Music Man. So Pres. Riggs humored me and we sang a few numbers:
And here's a little video clip of his antics:

Here's a picture of the whole gang. Colleen (Stake YSA Rep), Jamie (LDSSA Pres), me (LDSSA and Institute Secretary), Erica (Insitute Pres), and then on the back row is Scott (Institute Vice Pres), Tim (Stake YSA Rep), and Pres. Riggs.

Good for you to take the time to serve on the Institute Council! Extracurricular activities are definitely a sacrifice when you're a working college student.

How fun! I'm sure you know how blessed you are to have a student ward, a real institute program and all, since I never got to enjoy those while at NSU! Proud of you for serving!

Looks like Pres. Riggs is a hoot! And I'm glad you've had the opportunity to serve in LDSSA and Institute. I really enjoyed my involvement in those things when I was in college at the U.
Is this the same Colleen that lives downstairs from you?
