Historical Character Party
Deuteronomy 32:7
Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations:
Ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
You are invited to a Historical Character Party event will be located at the Sir Raymond Mallery’s House, on July nineteenth, at one O’clock to seven O’clock.
Rules for the Historical Character Party; You must find a Historical person, (of your gender) that you admire for their great deeds they accomplished, and you must dress as whom you have selected, and give a short, or long speech on why you admire that person, and what great thing he or she did, and how he or she changed you life. The character you have chosen must be deceased. And there is no time period that is prohibited. Make sure you study at the least, your characters; date of birth, death, Accomplishment in life, and how they have changed your life. You must be eleven and up to attend.
There will be games, food, live music, and all of our speeches, regarding the people we came as.

Ridge, you should have people bring specific food like we did . And from experiance you won’t want to make it all. And maybe instead of a speech we should just ask people who they are, because speeches can be way too long and extremely boring and nerveracking.
Oh, and I think there are certain people who will not come if they have to make a speech, including some in your own family! To much presure makes the whole party frustrating and not much FUN!
Heer ye Heer ye! The making of speeches tends to personal enrichment and health of mind, body, and soul. Furthermore, one’s confidence is increased by speechmaking which is a vital skill to the success of Christian genteel men and genteel ladies. I thereby humbly submit that said speeches be made without pain or suffering, but in respect of those who went before us. In my good judgement I submit that speeches should be required one sentence in length and shalt not exceed one full minute.
All in favor respond by saying “Aye”
This is soundong an awful lot like school….seriously though, in regard to time, the speeches seem to be a bit much. I also agree with Megan about the food.
Um…it’s Ridge’s party. I think he should be allowed to decide what does or doesn’t happen and how much or how little preparation he and his family can/can’t handle. Personally, I’m FOR making speeches, but AGAINST making it mandatory. Please note, I prefaced that opinion with the word “PERSONALLY.” As I said, IT’S RIDGE’S/THE RAY MALLERY FAMILY’S PARTY!!! And, Ridge, if we can come (still gotta check the calendar) we most certainly will bring something…is there anything specific you’d like it to be?
I just wanted to emphasize…I’m FOR making speeches. I completely agree with Josh; making a speech is a good exercise and stretches people mentally, socially and even emotionally. And it’s NOT negative being stretched emotionally; I say this from personal experience.
Ack! I have a typo!!! Excuse me while I melt into a nervous mess….ok, I’m better now. Yes, this is Ridge’s party, do what you want. I will come & I already know who I’m going to be!
Exellant. The reason I didn’t want to tell people what to bring is because;
I’m always accused of telling people what to do. so I fighered that I’d better leave that to ever body’s own goodness. But if any of want to help with the food, just say so, and I’ll talk to mother about what we need.
and as far as the speeches go; What kind of impact do expect to have on the world, if you never learn to speak in font of people? If all you do is stat who you are and what they did, that’s fine. now that’s easy enough
Hope to se you all there.
I’m not saying speeches are bad and they definitely have their time and place, just some people could spend way too much time without even knowing it, telling all about their character. I’m not trying to tell you what to do, so please don’t take it that way. Just having a time limit might be a good idea. Oh, and I would be willing to bring food, just let me know.
THanks Megan. I know you weren’t try to tell me wht to do. But heres some things I learnd from experiance. Some of the word you and Hannah were using, can be taken no other way then “telling me what to do” Maybe just look back try to see what Jess and I are saying. Just I little Remender, that hpoefully you gale wont have to learn the hard way. So WE must all be careful of the words we use. Espeacily on theis Blogs
“Votes for women!” Not all speeches are good ones. Personally, I think I’d do better on talk radio…but I’ll try out your idea for the party, even though I’m really bad at speeches. And let me know if there’s anything I should bring. I think this will be fun.
I definitely hope to be able to come (I’ll try to get work off). It sounds like it’s going to be a blast. Anyway, I could make a speech. I don’t mind speaking….
Um, Ridge, sorry I should have identified who I was… thought that you would know by the pict.
anyway, it’s Joanna Baer.
Question: Ridge, do you think my cousin John Mark could come? He really like the last party.
apsolutly!
Thanks!
