29 JAN- Clark Park

Hello all! I hope you had a great week. We had a terrific trip to the beach this week. now we're back & looking forward to seeing everyone this Friday at Clark Park (631 Sherman Drive off Ramsey.) We'll meet at the Nature Center. The park rangers will lead a nature class geared toward 3-5 year olds (all ages are welcome) and then a short nature walk through the woods. The class will start right at 10 am please get there a few minutes early. It's a short walk from the parking lot across the train tracks down the trail. They have picnic tables available for lunch after the class and wall. Hope to see you.

15 January- Library park on Post

Good weather this Friday- yeah!! supposed to get up to 60. so we'll meet at the park beside the library on post. go in the Randolph gate (go in the right lane- you'll have to show your driver's license & and car registration and they'll search your car but it's quick) right after you pass Knox Street (I think it's the second light) you'll see the park on your left beside the library.

see you Friday!

see you next year

I pray you and your families all have a wonderful Christmas & happy New Year. Tomorrow's forecast is cold and rainy so the park won't be a good spot & we have four runny noses at my house so we won't be able to make it.

We have lots of fun planned for 2010 starting with Monkey Joes 8 JAN. I'll send an evite out soon so we have an idea how many kids will be there- so we know our price 10-30 kids is $7 each, 30-60 $6 each. $5 per child 2 and under

they also have a group rate of $2 per child for a slice of pizza & drink-

Then 9 JAN is our next group babysitting night. Jennifer Martinez will host. She lives in Carolina Lakes which is north of Fayetteville- a little far out but there is a very nice movie theater in Sanford (no traffic like fayetteville) as well as a lot of nice restaurants down town. evite coming

Info

Hi! I'm excited about our party Friday- it will be great to see everyone, have yummy food, have our children well cared for next door! Please remember to bring exact change for childcare workers- $3 per child.

We're planning on a fun cookie cutter exchange- you know the kind where you draw numbers and can "steal" the present if you want. so bring it wrapped or in a bag to add to the fun. we wanted to do something a little different from the normal ornament exchange but if you can't find a cookie cutter- bring something Christmas-y. see you Friday!

Scion is giving  (a limited number) free toys to children of deployed Soldiers.  

 Soldiers log on to www.scion.com/holiday and request the toys for their children. 

 This is only for currently deployed Soldiers and ends 1 January 2010.  

If your Soldier is deployed or deploying, visit www.scion.com/thankyou 

to request a FREE care package to be mailed (CONUS or OCONUS).  

They have limited quantities available.  

we were listening to the radio this morning and heard an ad for

 drop in childcare by CiCi's in Westwood Shopping center. 

so I had to hunt for the info- here's the website for more info.

Christmas Party/ Group Babysitting Night

Two great events coming up next week. Christmas party on Friday at Manna on Cliffdale. I sent out an evite. If you didn't get it, please email me at jaklew@aol.com. We have arranged for childcare so the ladies have more time for fellowship. Please RSVP by Monday so we can line up the right number of childcare workers.

Also Group Babysitting Night at Jami's house next Saturday. I sent out another evite for that. This is a great opportunity for fellowship time or time out. Enjoy these great opportunities this Christmas season.
