5 FEB Fascinate-U

Hi! I just checked the forecast again- 100% chance of rain so it looks like Fascinate-U for tomorrow. My kids have colds now so we won't be able to go. I hope you'll still go. There are lots of new ladies planning on coming. So please be welcoming to all especially our new ladies-
We will look forward to seeing everyone next week at College Lakes Park off Rosehill. If you did not get evites for the clothing swap (26 Feb) & Group babysitting Night 13 Feb please email or call me.

for the clothing swap please bring all gently used baby/ children's/ maternity clothes, toys, books. I know the consignment sales ask to bring only the upcoming season but we welcome all- no matter what season. we're just trying to get items to where they can be used. also the sooner you can RSVP for childcare the better so we can have enough workers scheduled.

If you have other questions about the sale, the swap, have a prayer request, just want to chat, ... give me a call
I just signed up for the women's luncheon at Manna 20 Feb. and I'm planning on going to the Christian Military Wives' potluck Friday 12 Feb. anyone else going?

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!
