2011-2012 START-UP MEETING

LOTS OF INFORMATION.  READ CAREFULLY!

August is just around the corner!

With its entry, comes a new school year

and a new year to be a part of 

C.H.E.A.

Our start-up meeting will be at Rene's house

again this year.  Thank you, Rene and Family!

For the group's success,

it is CRITICAL that as many members come

to this beginning meeting as possible.

Monday, August 22nd  at  6:30pm

This event is for the WHOLE family.

Dads will need to watch the kiddos

during the planning portion of the meeting.

Potluck Dinner:

Please bring

a main dish

a vegetable

and 

a dessert.

Rene will be providing table service.

Bring your calendars to plan

for this year's events.

We will need to schedule as many ideas as possible, as clearly as possible in order to insure a worthwhile year for all.

You can help make this successful by coming prepared with ideas and by helping to keep the conversation limited to this venture during the planning part of our meeting.  (Let's try to stay off the bunny trails as much as possible!!!)

Be praying about your family's needs and ideas of what our group could do to fulfill those needs and what  your role in helping those ideas come to life can be.

Specifically be praying about how the group will function next year and for new leadership to step up.  Pray about whether or not you might have a part to play in that. 

I plan to step down from coordination of activities and from information dissemination.  I have decided to cut back on some of my activities outside the home.  I will do my part to organize a few specific activities as a 

participating mother.

Thank you all, and I look forward to

seeing you on the 22nd of August.

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 YOU have ideas, make sure you bring them up.

Last, but not least, I was asked

to share my Apple Crisp recipe:

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!!!
