11 March Pope AFB Park

This Friday 11 March at 10 am we'll be at the big park at the end of the runway on Pope AFB. From Fort Bragg, go in the Pope AFB Reilly Road gate. Reilly road goes through Pope, along the side of the airstrip. You'll see the park on the right. Pack a picnic to enjoy while we watch the planes fly.

I'll send out more info soon on our 18 March picnic. My last Fun Fridays- hope to see you!

Swap Thank you/ Fascinate-U

Thank you everyone for all the hard work and the donations today. A great success! Thanks so much. I know tons of people were blessed today and more will be as they receive our donations. A special big thanks to those who arrived early this morning to start setting up and to those who stayed after to make sure everything was bagged, cleaned, ... We definitely couldn't have done it without Jennie's awesome help & Christy and the childcare folks. Thank you! I do pray that the clothing swap will continue after I leave in a few weeks.

I also pray that if you have it on your heart to continue Fun Fridays. Now is a great time to answer that call. I am planning Friday events for this Friday (Fascinate-U), next Friday 11 March (Pope Park), and the following 18 March (picnic at Mazarick park) and then we will be moving to Baltimore. So.. if deep down you feel led to continue, please email or call me. Maybe you and friend would like to co-lead.

This Friday 4 March we'll be at Fascinate-U at 10 am. If you'd like to do the class, please email me by Wednesday. (Also if you signed up let me know if you can't go) I need to give them a total & I have to pay for the group together. The class is $4 per child- which includes museum admission.) I set up a class for K-2nd graders (that's the target age- a little older or younger is welcome too.) Museum admission is $3 per child, $2 per adult. Hope to see you.

Several ladies talked to me today about going Friday with younger children- if you have toddlers and don't want to do the class, just go to the museum. Let the kids enjoy the museum and meet some other ladies. The toddler room in the back is a great place for Mom's to chat while kiddos play. There are usually not many people there so most of the people at there will be from our group. Just say hi- you'll be amazed at how much you have in common!

PLEASE call me tomorrow if you signed up and unable to go. I will pay the group total Friday 9:45 and I don't want to pay for someone who is not going to be there.

Summer Camp

I wanted to share info about a WONDERFUL summer camp. My family went 2 years ago when James got home from his a deployment. I highly recommend- absolutely beautiful place, great food, great mix of time for couples while kids having fun and well cared for & family time.

Here's the link:

http://www.sandycove.org/docs/operationoasis.php

Any service man or woman, including those in the Reserve and National Guard, returning home from deployment in support of OIF or OEF can come to Sandy Cove with their immediate family for FREE! This includes comfortable accommodations in the Chesapeake Lodge or Pioneer Campground cabins, all meals, recreation and program if scheduled. 5-nights for a family of four would normally cost up to $2900, but through generous donations, Sandy Cove is able to offer this as a FREE gift to military families to help you bond together and relax in a Christian atmosphere. One FREE visit per family.

This Friday 24 SEP at 10 am we'll be at Mazarick Park(1638 Belvedere Ave off of Bragg Blvd). This is a Fantastic Friday- Big kids are always welcome but we're especially encouraging them to come out for our Fantastic Fridays. I'm still working out the details but we should have some extra fun for the bigger kids like tennis, cards, kickball, frisbee golf.
