Welcome!!!

Hi ladies!!  We are so excited to welcome you back.  We have an exciting year planned, and we are thrilled that you have chosen to spend the 3rd Wednesday of every month with us.

We have a brand new Steering Committee that is eager to help you build relationships with others and to help you have an awesome MOPs experience this year.  We are dedicated to listening to your ideas and insight for this upcoming year.  We want to make this the best experience for you and we hope that you will share all of your experiences with us, we love to hear feedback.

Let me give you a little snap shot of what we have coming up this year:
Sept.: Dinner, Introduction to the Steering Committee and the 2010-2011 calendar, Bead for Life, Samaritan's Purse
Oct.: Women's Health Month
Nov.: Shopping on a Budget
Dec.: Christmas Party, Cookie Exchange, White Elephant
Jan.-June: MUCH MORE!!: Nutrition and Menu tips, Marriage (featuring Brian and Lisa Jones as speakers), Pediatric Safety, Birthday Party Ideas

These are just a few of the wonderful things that the Steering Committee has been working on and planning for this upcoming 2010-2011 year!!

Please join us and bring your friends for our first meeting on September 15th from 7 - 9 PM.  Free childcare is provided.  Come with your appetites because we are going to provide you with a wonderful meal.  There will be time to meet the new Steering  Committee and plenty of time to get to know others.  Also during this meeting we will be offering you an opportunity to look and hopefully purchase some beautiful jewelry from Bead for Life.  Bead for Life is an amazing opportunity to help women struggling in Uganda, this jewelry gives them an opportunity to earn income that they may not have otherwise had.  We will use these beads to personalize our MOPs and MOMs nametags.  At the end of the meeting we will also have boxes available from Samaritan's Purse - Operation Christmas Child.  This is another wonderful organization that provides people all over the world with gifts from us. During the meeting we will provide you with all the information you need regarding both organizations, or if you prefer please use the links above.

MOPs is for all expecting mothers and mothers of children ages birth through kindergarten.  MOMs is for all moms of elementary aged children.  The meetings of these two groups coincide. Registration forms will be available on Sept. 15th, so please come prepared to pay the membership fee of $40.

Once again we want to welcome you back and hope you have a memorable and enjoyable year with us!

In Christ,

Danielle Verwey on behalf of The CCV MOPs Steering Committee
