We're Back!!!!

After a somewhat extended hiatus, we have returned!!

Rachel has been kind enough to step in and rekindle my excitement for the Playgroup, as well as doing a super job brainstorming and researching ideas. We had a brainstorming session to come up with projects, dates, and other ideas. Hopefully once we all get to know each other, we will start running out of months before we run out of projects.

New things to come:

• We will be mixing up the days, times, and venues to give more people a chance to make the Playgroup. We don't want anyone to be excluded because of other obligations; we won't please everyone all of the time, but hopefully we can please everyone some of the time.
• We will have projects lined up so that you when you leave the Playgroup, you will know when, where, and what the next Playgroup will be.
• We will be mixing up our causes...international, domestic, children, adults, animals.
• We are looking at options of having some older kids/tweens/teens help out with watching the younger kids so that we can really have some grownup time. (So if you know of some older kids...hint, hint, hint!)

Playgroup Rules:

• Do not skip Playgroup because you can't afford it this month, you aren't passionate about the particular theme, or you haven't had time to contribute. This is about teaching our kids to care about their world. You can do that by just showing up and being part of the "village".
• Bring a friend and their kids.
• Bring an idea for future Playgroups.
• Bring your camera. Our kids are cute!
• How to "join": contact Jill or Rachel via email, phone, or facebook
