It's MARVIN MOPS Week! Meeting THIS THURSDAY, January 24th at 10 a.m.

Good Morning Moms,

2013 is off to an excellent and exciting start! We kicked off the new year with a packed room filled with new and returning friends and opportunities to to make and deepen connections that were made in the fall semester. Thanks to Sarah, Sherry and Judy for setting the groundwork for a productive and meaningful new year!

Don't forget, our next meeting is this Thursday, January 24th at 10 a.m. We are looking forward to welcoming and listening to Mr. Ken Brumley from Green Acres Church speak on "Envy." It is a topic that WE ALL can relate to and have felt at some point in our lives. We hope you come with open and honest hearts and engage in an important discussion about how we can understand and improve ourselves.

If you will be using childcare, also know as our MOPPETS program, you may bring your children to the childcare rooms which are located on the first floor. There will be a sign to direct you. If your children are not coming, and you are signed up for childcare, it is important that you contact Stephanie Lamb, our MOPPETS Coordinator, to let her know: steph.lamb@sbcglobal.net, or 903-363-7447. This affects how many volunteers/workers/rooms we need.

 

Some additional important reminders about our MOPPETS program:

- Please LABEL ALL of your child's belongings (sippy cups, pacifiers, etc.)

- Please DO NOT bring your child if he./she shows ANY signs of illness. Please refer to the "MOPPETS Guidelines" for further instruction

- Drop off time is 9:50-10 a.m. before the meeting. Please pick up your children promptly by noon to be courteous of the MOPPETS staff
