March Announcements

*Please remember that on March 3rd we are touring the Lake Area campus. We will not be having brunch that day and we need to leave at 9:15 a.m. sharp, so it would be a good idea to try and drop your children off at 9:00.
*We are going to participate in a bake sale on March 12th at the city auditorium. There is a vendor fair being held that day. This is a good fundraiser for us every year. An email with more information will be sent out at a later date.
*We will not be meeting on March 17th due to spring break.
*Jenny Crismon is hosting a Military Mom Appreciation Night on March 25th in her home. Please see the Evite she emailed out or email her for more information (cjcrismon@wat.midco.net)
*Our annual fun day with the children is scheduled for March 31st at the city auditorium. There will be different areas set up downstairs for the kids to run around and play on. We will be ordering pizza for everyone at the conclusion of playtime. The exact times have not been set, so I will be sending out an email with more information on that closer to the date.
*I will not be handing out a newsletter in March. The April meetings are:
April 7th - TBA (we are still juggling two different topics/speakers schedules). Brunch will be provided by Grandma Moses.
*April 21st - Naturalist Marnie Lammel will speak on activities/games outside with your children and other topics at her discretion. Brunch group is Jane Goodall.

IV. Position Reports

B. MOPPETS - The MOPPET worker appreciation day will be hold on May 12th.
C. Coordinator - Jen shared that Marilyn Peterson is working on getting her yoga certification and was wondering if any MOPS moms would like to do a few yoga classes. We discussed maybe having this as a topic for a meeting. Jen is going to check with the church to see if they would be okay with this. Marilyn might need to get her hours sooner, so we might change out the April 7th WOW panel for a May date and have the yoga on the 7th.

This Thursday (February 17th) is our pajama party! Wear your pajamas and bring the kids in theirs too!

Also, the evening Mops group is having an Antiquities photo fundraiser. Here is the information on that opportunity:

Each coupon is $10 per family. Only 1 coupon per family. By purchasing the coupon you will receive a 10x13 photo and the sitting fee is covered. There is no obligation to purchase any other photos. The photo dates are April 14th, 15th, & 16th. We will contact you closer to the date of the photo shoot to schedule your photo time and date. Can contact Julie @ 520-2791 anytime.
Julie was at our last meeting to observe how we run our meetings (she had the tiny baby with her...). This is a great way to support our sister organization.
