MOPS Meeting Tuesday, September 8th @ 9:15am

Hi Ladies~

I hope you all have a fabulous Labor Day weekend planned - whether it's heading up north for the last camping trip of the year or just relaxing around the house with your family - I hope you have lots of fun and good time with your loved ones!

We're very much looking forward to our first MOPS meeting of this school year next Tuesday, September 8th - the day after Labor Day. So, get the older kids on the bus and come on out to MOPS -- it's going to be a great time! We have a fun speaker lined up - Betsy Gasper, the head of the SE Wisconsin MOPS Council, and she'll be introducing our theme "Together on Planet Mom". Our hospitality girls have done a great job preparing the room, favors, and fun extras for you, and we'll have lots of stuff to give away too. As always, we'll be doing an "early-bird" prize drawing for those of you arrived and checked in before 9:15 (we've got restaurant gift certificates so you can enjoy a date night on us!) and we've also got four family 4-packs of free admission, tokens and dinner to a fun new play place in Sussex, as well as coupons for everyone who attends the meeting!

We'll begin our meeting in Room 152 promptly at 9:15 to maximize our time together, so please plan to arrive early to get your kiddos checked in and give you some time to grab some food, relax, and be ready to go. You'll find the nursery workers and check-in kiosks set up and ready to go by 8:45 am, so come early!

Some of you have already paid for the year, but for those of you who are interested, we now have available payment options online on our page of the church website. Check out the link below to see a video introducing our theme, as well as the opportunity to register for the upcoming year online using a credit card. http://www.springcreekonline.org/site/cpage.asp?cpage_id=10294&sec_id=3128&nc=1252089646671
Otherwise, bring a check (payable to Spring Creek Church) or cash with you and we'll get you signed up with MOPS International ($24) - which includes some cool extras this year - and with our program ($7/month).

As always, please feel free to invite moms you meet to join us! Their first meeting is absolutely free. We'd love to have the opportunity to encourage them too -- as we all walk through the craziness that can result from being mothers of young kids.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
