September News

It was great to see all of you at the first MOPS meeting last week!  We are so excited to get the year started and we have lots of fun things planned for the group.  Mark your calendars for these upcoming events.

Next MOPS Meeting September 20th.  We will be breaking into groups to play Catchphrase.  This is a easy and fun game and will give us a chance to get to know moms both from our tables and from other tables. Don't forget to bring your "My Favorite Thing".  Each mom gets to bring something they would love to share with the group for under $5.00.  We will use them for door prizes in the future.  Items could be your favorite cleaning product, a gift card or coupon, a book, candy, or lotion.  We will also be making a tote bag.  It will be a fun meeting.  Hope to see you all there!

Playdates:

September 16 - Snake hunt with former MOPS mom Lani W. at Ernie Miller Park.  Meet at the nature center at 10:00 am.  Lani is a biologist and she will take us on a hike and help us learn about nature.  (Don't worry Lani won't make the moms touch any reptiles!)

October 12th - We will meet at Louisburg Cider Mill at 10:00 am for a pumpkin patch tour.
