April Meetings and Worker Appreciation Brunch

In April, we'll have our two regular meetings and a MOPPETS Worker Appreciation Brunch, to thank all the wonderful people who watch our children for us during the meetings as well as Pastor Bob and the church secretary Sue Howlett from First Baptist.

On April 4th, we'll be having Jamie Mechels who's husband has passed, coming to speak to us about grief and loss. If you have any gift basket items, please bring them and give them to Marcy as she'll be presenting our speaker with them at the end of our meeting. The Ducky Diva's group is on for bringing brunch.

On April 18th, Sue Howlett will be speaking to us about what to watch for signs of drug use. The Marvelous Mermaid's group is on for bringing brunch.


On April 25th, we'll be having our annual Worker Appreciation Brunch. Please join us with your children to give thanks to our childcare workers and First Baptist. Each group will bring a different type of brunch/snack item. Your D-group leader will contact you at a later date with more info.

After the brunch, at approx. 10:30am we'll be having a short Steering Meeting. We are thinking ahead to next year! The Hospitality Position is open. If you are thinking about serving on steering next year, please join us even if the position that you are interested in appears to be filled. Some of our current steering members may be happy to give up, or change their positions if a replacement can be found. Some positions may be taking on an assistant also. If you're wondering what exactly does the Hospitality position entail, here is a description:

The Hospitality person arrives at meetings early to unlock door; helps serve and clean up after brunch; purchases decorations and decorates fellowship hall for meetings; helps set up chairs and tables if necessary; maintains supply of paper products; serves MOPPETS snack and monitors snack supply; recognizes new babies and MOPS graduates on behalf of the group; attends steering meetings.

Please label all bags, bottles, sippy cups, etc. for your infants and children before dropping them off in the child care rooms! This will help our workers to know what belongs to your child.

If you haven't yet brought a box of crackers for our Moppets kids, please do so asap. Remember all snacks for the children should be peanut free. Thank you!
