ACTIVITIES:

ALL ACTIVITIES ARE MEMBER DRIVEN AND IF NO INTEREST IS SHOWN, THE ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED WILL BE CANCELLED VIA Yahoo.

Park Day Activities: The worst thing that can happen is to show up to something that has been cancelled. Before you venture out to park day, please check the yahoo calendar. Some events may cancel. The person in charge of an event is to cancel by posting on the yahoo site the night before the event.

Proposed Events: Many events are already posted on the calendar. Still, our group is flexible. Our members have so much creativity that many new ideas can still be implemented! Try to keep things simple, and keep time and expenses low. Bring your ideas to the Core Members in writing so we can help you with these new activities and opportunities.

Meetings: Our meetings are under two hours, are fast and brief. We are there long enough to make sure our events are being taken care of so we can return to our families. Space is limited. Please have your Committee Member call the President if you wish you to attend.

Crafts: Crafts are a wonderful part of our group. Still, we can only have them if one of you volunteers an idea for the month. Please give your ideas to the Special Events Coordinator for suggestions and help for your project. It is not our job to tell you what to do, but to help you do what you would like. You will need to give a list of items you need for your moms to bring to park day. These can be posted on the yahoo site two weeks and one week before your activity.

Classes: Classes such as Mad Science and “A Point in Time” can be brought to the park if you are interested. Volunteers are needed to collect names, phone numbers, and cash on a per student basis to be handed to the Treasurer. Space is often first come, first serve and will be open to other groups if we do not have enough membership participation.

Co-ops and clubs are welcome: Please contact a Core Member if you wish help to start one or feel free to start one of your own.

Fairs and Festivals: Committee Members and Committee Volunteers are needed for the History fair and/or Arts Festival (music, talents, crafts, arts). Your talents and ideas are welcome.

Field Trips: Volunteers are needed to set up field trips. If you would like to do one and don’t know how, Anne Stone will be happy to assist you through the process to ensure success. You will be expected to post the events on the yahoo calendar, let people know in advance for cancellations, contact the facility, collect the monies and monitor the progress. Special field trips like the Renaissance Festival or Zoo will occur yearly.

Yearbook: The group will offer individual pictures as well as group pictures. Pictures of your own children participating in activities should be taken BY YOU to make sure your family is represented in the yearbook. Reminders will occur before any potluck activity at the park and with field trips. If you do NOT want you child’s picture on the website, please mark it on the membership listing now.
