Hi Everyone!
I hope your new school year has had a successful start. We have decided to not hold a family picnic this year. Time has gotten away from us and families are busy trying to fit in all of their own end-of-summer plans.
Next Wednesday, Sept. 17th will be our first meeting. We will usually meet on the 2nd Mon. of each month, but this month I have conflicts. For the meeting, please keep in mind the month you would like to host a meeting. We will have sign-up Wed. Also, have some ideas for our Christmas party. We've asked in the past for each member to give $10 to cover costs for the picnic and Christmas, but that hasn't been easy to do and I hate to beg for money. So if you have any suggestions, please share them with us.
Our main focus for this meeting will be: How to keep the "little one's" busy and happy while schooling the older kids. I know that I often push out my younger kids to focus on the older kids. What are you suggestions? If you have a craft project you do with them, please bring examples and directions so we can do them to with our kids. The little kids love any project no matter how simple. I have seen web sites that are very kid friendly and safe where they can play games (no chatting), If you have a list of these websites please bring them. I can make copies of craft directions at the meeting.
Hope to see you Wednesday, Sept. 17th 6:30pm. For directions, please call 426-5363. Could you RSVP so I know your e-mail is correct either via email or phone. Thanks.
Kristi O'Malley
