[Artemisia] Teen prom for Everyone?

[Tamar Black Sea]

Hi Everyone,

Wow! What a thread!

Two teens that are reading this thread for sure are my 
daughters....they're just too shy too post...:-) They tell me that they 
love the "Knight's Tale" approach and that they like medieval music, but 
that they really, really, really prefer it if it has a cool beat.

One suggestion and question that I have about a teen prom is if the 
teens really want a dance just for teens or if they prefer to be part of 
the larger group? Perhaps the teens could be the organizers of the prom, 
but maybe they prefer that the prom is open to everyone? I strongly 
suspect that my daughters, and many of the kids that I know, would pay 
money to see knights and dons and the grown-ups that they know and love 
wearing duct tape prom wear :-)

I realize that a lot of teens and twenty-somethings (I count them too, 
even though they don't technically fall into the "Youth"category) are 
not on this list. Maybe people could ask around in their home groups and 
get back to our Kingdom Youth Minister with feedback?

Thanks a gaziliion to all of you for your ideas and enthusiasm!

YIS,
Tamar
