First Moms' Meeting 2011

Friends,

To make it nice and easy on everyone, we are going to have our 1st meeting at the coffee shop in Ron's IGA.

We will meet next Monday evening, Jan. 17th at 7pm.

      We can discuss the best night for us to meet at that meeting.  If you cannot be there, you may vote via email.

Please bring your calendars.

Please bring any activities/ideas you want to make happen for the semester.

I have one idea so far I would like to implement for the teens.

I would like to see more activity in the group, but it takes all of us to make that happen.

Teen Game Night

After calling as many teen parents as I could, 

I decided our teen game night will be:

Next Thursday night, November 11th from 6:30-9:00pm.

2208 California Street


We have a pool table, a mongo chess set, and lots of games.

Bring snacks to share.

Homeschool Teens ages 13 and up welcome!

October Share Night

Our Share Night will be on

Thursday, October 28th

from 6:30-8:00pm

at Trinity Baptist Church

at the corner of Elm & Washington

Bring finger foods to snack on

along with whatever your student(s)

want to share with their friends.

A special treat for this night will be Rodney Woods' 

arrangement with the Gideons' to come and share

with our group briefly and hand out 

New Testaments to the children.  

 

Remember:  

Your student(s) bring 1 or 2 things they have worked on this year that they are proud of.  It doesn't have to be anything fancy.  Just something they want to share with others, in any subject or extracurricular area.  The items will be laid out on tables and the parents and other children can go around to see what everyone is doing.  

For a 15-20 minute time period, the children will stand by their item/project so they can be available to answer questions that people have about their projects.  (This is not a public speaking time in front of everyone.  Just answering questions from one or two people as they pass by.)  

Parents make encouraging written comments on a paper for at least 2 of the projects, if not more.  Then the children will have some written comments to take home to encourage them.

The data is in Friends!

Our Share night will be...

AWANA

Just to let you know, my church, Trinity Baptist Church does the AWANA (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed)Club program. It is a Scripture memory club where children earn vests and patches and 'jewels' to put on those vests for different types of participation in the program. (I am known as 'The Patch Lady' since I sew on all the patches that are earned.)

Our start-up meeting is this coming Wednesday night, September 8th, from 6:00-7:30pm. Trinity is located at the corners of Elm and Washington.

For the 1st meeting, parents are requested to stay and walk through with the children so they can learn what is expected of the children and how to help.

The age ranges is 2 years old to 4th grade. Puggles is for 2-3 year olds. Cubbies is for 4-5 year olds. Sparks is for Kindergarten through Second Grade. Truth in Training (TnT) is for Third through Fourth Grade.

We also have a program for 5th-6th graders called Cross Training which is not a part of the AWANA program but is still good and a youth group for 7th-12th graders called Metamorpho.

There is a $15 yearly dues fee which can be paid in 1 lump sum or by bringing .50/week. Children earn points for bringing their dues, Bibles, handbooks, vests, Sunday School attendance, and more. They get to spend points earned at a quarterly AWANA store, which has toy prizes.

It's a great program and you're welcome to participate if you would like to.
