MOPS 2008-2008 Starting Soon!

It's almost here! MOPS 2008-2009 begins Thurs., Sept. 4th at 9:00AM. If you missed the Aug. 14th kickoff, you may register at either of our Sept. MOPS meetings. The following meeting will be held Sept. 18th.

Before coming to the first meeting, please label any bottles, sippy cups and diaper bags you will be bringing with you.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
When you enter the building, stop at the registration table in the main entry. Here you will:
*fill out a nametag for yourself and any children you have in the infant/toddler room (ages 2-Kind. will have nametags provided by the childcare workers)
*drop off any registration forms you picked up at the kickoff picnic
*If you didn't attend the kickoff, you will need to pick up a registration form for yourself and any children you have participating in the MOPPETS program. You must fill out one form per child. (You don't need to stand at the registration table while you fill out your forms.)
*If you have not yet paid your registration fee, you may do so at the registration table. The ladies at the table can explain the different options for paying the fee (per meeting, semester or year) and can also provide information regarding MOPS scholarships.
*If you are unsure about whether or not you want to be in MOPS, your first meeting is free. Because the first meeting involves a lot of "introductory stuff", we ask that you attend a couple of meetings before deciding whether or not MOPS is for you.

OTHER INFO:
*After you stop at the registration table, you can escort your children to their rooms. All rooms, with the exception of the 4-5 yr.room, are located down the hallway to the left of the front door. If you need assistance, any of the moms present will be more than happy to help you locate a room.
*The MOPS meeting will be held in the fellowship hall, straight ahead of the main entrance.


Looking forward to seeing you then!
