Meeting highlights: Wow - what a breakfast buffet! Thank you to everyone who contributed we had a delicious blueberry bake, several hot breakfast casseroles, fresh fruit, pastries, coffee, etc.
We welcomed new moms, Danielle, Sandy and Suzanna!! We hope you enjoyed your first time with us and we will look forward to seeing you again.
Karen reviewed the survey results and it was decided that we will continue meeting on every 2nd & 4th Thursday of the month at Calvary - this appears to be the location of choice, childcare will remain in the usual location. We will not be collecting childcare fees any longer and will instead have a basket at each table for an offering/donation to help with childcare expenses. Registration has been reduced to $25.00 per term. Karen reiterated that we do not want any moms to feel obligated to pay if this puts financial stress on your family budget. We are believing in faith that God will meet our needs in this area!
For the summer we will have a "Big Girls" Pajama Party in June for moms only, a "Pool Party" in July for moms & kids, and a "Family Campfire" in August for the entire family. Details will be provided when arrangements have been finalized.
After our survey discussion, we participated in an "ice-breaking activity" called "speed dating"! It was a lot of fun and we all enjoyed getting to know each other a little better. We have amazing moms at our group so please take the time to get to know each and everyone! Ask more direct questions like "what did you do this week?" instead of the customary "who are you?" it will open the dialogue to more authenticity!
Next meeting we will be participating in a craft activity with our very own "Melissa"! See you all next meeting --- and remember to enjoy this wonderful season of motherhood!
