Year End Picnic This Thursday

Hello ladies!

Hope you're all geared up for the really warm weather to come this week!

I wanted to send you a quick reminder that we'll be meeting this Thursday, May 27th at the play area in the Village Park in Sussex for our end of year picnic. We'll play from 10am until nap time, pack a lunch for yourself and your kiddos, and we will provide dessert for everyone (I'm thinking popsicles and other ice cream type novelties). If you're planning to be there, can you reply to this email (or send me an email at amygruetz@hotmail.com) to let me know? It'll help with the food purchasing if I know approximate numbers...

Please note our summer schedule in the previous post. We hope you'll be able to join us for the playdates and moms' nights out that we'll be doing throughout the summer. We're working on details re: next year's program, and hope to have more info to you after our steering team meeting mid-June.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
