February Announcements

I know it seems sudden, since we just had a meeting three months ago, but here we are anyway. :) I trust you all weathered the snowstorms all right and are in good form to join us Thursday at 9:45 at Wakemans Grove. (If you're not in good form, will you please let us know? We'd like to pray for you and help if we can.)
A few items:
  
* First, a policy thing: kids need to be accompanied by their parents. In special circumstances a parent may fill out a waiver giving another HIS member permission to bring their child(ren). Thank you for understanding.

* Second, and this is a fun one: a reminder we've got a Facebook group. It's a kid-free, judgment-free space for encouraging each other & asking questions, getting advice, sharing ideas, or even scheduling get-togethers between our monthly meetings. If you're not already a member, I encourage you to join! We'd love to have you. Ask another member (including me) to add you if you like, or the link is here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/144600135585835/


* Our meeting is 9:45am - 2pm at Wakemans Grove. Potluck lunch as usual. The theme is respect/compassion/empathy. A prize to the first family to arrive and solve the puzzle!

* Barby Hobcroft from Classical Conversations will be making a presentation at 12:45pm in the lunchroom.

* It's going to be muddy out there, so please make sure the kids are dressed for that (whatever that means to you, haha!). For Indoor/Outdoor games, you'll be inside--bring fun games, or Mrs. Woods will make you play hopscotch for an hour.

* Needs: 
1) Staci Woods has graciously agreed to take this week's jr high class (can anyone help her?)--but we still need teachers to take the class for March & April. Please email me asap if you're willing.
2) Playground supervisors. Morning & lunchtime, for the wee tots AND big kids. 
3) Nursery help if the Browns are still sick and unable to attend.
4) Lynn Rhodes needs pinking shears for the handicrafts club. So if you have a pair you can bring, she will be the only one using them and will return them at the March meeting.

* Signups: You'll have the opportunity to sign up for the April 3rd X-Fair (I'm SO excited about this--and I expect a big turnout this year. Did I mention there will be prizes??). We'll also have a signup for our soup/sandwich themed lunch in March.

* Service: Lisa Copp-Croft & Holly Neff have set up an opportunity to serve the veterans again by passing out Easter cards, April 15 @ 6:30pm. More details at Thursday's meeting.

I think those are the biggies. Please keep lifting each other up in prayer. Looking forward to seeing everyone shortly!
