Hey everyone!
I just wanted to pop in here and say that I had a great time at the MPE Conference this year. Whenever I go through the vendor hall, I always try to pick up stuff that could benefit not just my family but the group as well. I'll pop a quick description of summer camps, curriculum choices, family products, books, etc. here, and if you would like more information or a copy of the flyer, just let me know!

Moms' Meeting Summary
We had a great time tonight. It was fun to get caught up. Two friends are expecting babies in May only 10 days apart. And we met a new friend tonight! I'll send out a couple of prayer requests via email.
The next Moms' Meeting will be Monday, February 21st @ the Mall Deli @ 6:00pm.
New opportunity for the CHEA Teens: We will be implementing a Teen Night on the 1st Thursday of each month. The teens will get together to play games from 6:30-9:00pm. The host teen(s) will provide plates, cups, silverware, and drinks. The visiting teens will bring snacks to share.
I will post the locations for each get together for the next few months in the left sidebar, so that it will remain easy to find.
KANSAS DAY on January 29th!!! Kansas will be 150 years old. There will be some activities at the Fort in Ft. Scott that day. Rondi will be looking into details to pass along.
Many good ideas were brought up for possible Field Trips:
Wilderness Trails in various locations.
Joplin Audubon Center
Springdale Jones Center - ice skating and various other fun activities
Diamond - George Washington Carver homeschool day in the Spring
Prairie State Park
Roller Skating
Bowling
Greenbush activities (ropes' course, other educational sessions like movie making)
Hollister Gun Range
***Please contact Naamah if you have an interest in a particular field trip. You can work with her to make it happen. She will need plenty of help with whatever options are chosen.
Another suggestion was the youth get together at the Pittsburg Public Library on Wednesday afternoons from 4:00-6:00pm. Apparently they have a chessboard on the floor of a room and play life-size chess. FUN!
As always, there is always the option of initiating a get together for shooting hoops at the Y or a park date. A suggestion for a Chess Tournament was thrown out for the guys and a possible Tea Party or something else fun for the girls.
Lots of fun ideas! If you want to see one or more of them happen and you are willing to help, please contact Lezlie or Naamah.
Robin gave us the scoop about getting great deals from a couple of sites:

Start-Up Meeting - Check!
Well, we had a good time chatting and catching up and sharing hair moisturizing tips, as well as a plethora of other information Monday night. If you missed it, you missed out!
We decided the MOMS' MEETINGS will still be the 3rd Monday of every month. The next Moms' Meeting will be Sept. 20th at 7:00pm at Lezlie's home (2208 California, Pittsburg - 2 blocks north of Centennial on California, turn left into dead-end, brick house). PLEASE make every effort to be there since we will try to set up how we want to structure the group and schedule activities. BRING YOUR CALENDAR!!! (Robin Humbard will host the October 18th meeting.)
We talked about ideas for what we wanted to do this year. Social activities for the older students was mentioned (game nights, bowling, a shooting range). A sharing time to show off the students' work was discussed. Naamah gave a little info. about the potential FIELD TRIP in September. (REMEMBER: She needs to know if you are interested by September 9th. The date of the event is the 16th and she has to register our count.)
These are just a few of the fun things that could be done this year. If have ideas, make sure you bring them up.
Greased 9" pie plate 1/2-2/3 full of thinly sliced apples (or use peaches, apricots, cherries, etc.)
If you use apples, sprinkle 2tsp Cinnamon and 2tsp Vanilla on them and stir.
Mix separately, 1cup Brown Sugar, 1/2cup white flour, 1/2cup rolled oats, 1/4tsp salt.
Soften 1/2cup Butter and stir into sugar mixture.
Sprinkle all over apples in the pie plate evenly.
Bake @ 325 for 1 hour (or 350 for around 40 min. if you're in a hurry or it's hot outside).
Serve hot or cold with cool whip or ice cream. YUM, YUM!!!
