It's Marvin MOPS Week (11/17/11)!

Ladies,

What could be better than another great MOPS meeting this Thursday, November 17^th at 10 a.m.?  As Sarah and Sherry mentioned earlier, a representative from Poison Control will be with us to share “Health and Safety Tips for Our Families.”  How relevant especially for us with small, mobile and often curious children?  This should be an extremely informative and interesting presentation!

As we head into Thanksgiving, this is our LAST REMINDER about our upcoming MOPS Fall Bake Sale. It will be held on Sunday, November 20. 

Please bring in your frozen dishes (pot pies/casseroles/other baked goods) to this meeting.  Please contact Suzanne Lambert at 903-33-5560 if you are unable to bring your dish to Thursday’s meeting. She will assist in making arrangements to have it picked up.

Stephanie Lamb, our MOPPETS coordinator, is planning a holiday craft for Thanksgiving.  She needs LARGE pinecones.  Please bring any you may have.  .

This will be our last meeting where we will be collecting new and unwrapped toys for the St. Paul’s Secret Santa Workshop.  There is a need for older children’s gifts (soccer balls, sports equipment, bath products).  Let’s provide these precious children with a special Christmas experience!

The Cupcake Piggy Bank is a great place for you to empty your purse/wallet of loose/spare change!  The collection will go to St. Paul’s at the end of the year. Look for it on Thursday!

Other meeting reminders:

- Dues if you have not already paid ($25 MOPS International and/or Semester ($40 with childcare and $24 without childcare)

- Please DO NOT bring your child(ren) if he/she shows ANY signs of illness.  Drop off time is 9:50-10:00 a.m.  Please pick up your children promptly by 12 noon.

AND LASTLY—A QUICK REMINDER to please park in the lot across the street this Thursday!

If you are UNABLE to attend this Thursday’s MOPS meeting, please notify your Table Leader.  If your children are not coming, and are signed up for childcare, please also notify Stephanie Lamb (MOPPETS Coordinator) at steph.lamb@sbcglobal.net or 903-363-7447.

Have a great week, and see you all on Thursday!
