Welcome Baby Samonsky!

Jenn Samonsky had her baby boy on Monday afternoon!!! 

His name is Zack James and mommy & baby are both doing well.

Thank You!

A great big thank you to Emily & Wendy C. for volunteering to help in coordinating meals for our expecting mommies!!

For those of you that are expecting, please send Emily & Wendy C. an email when your baby arrives so they can jump into action with the meal calendar! 

Safe Kids ???

So here is the scoop for all of you guys following the Safe Kids soap opera...

I have emailed Safe Kids yet again and requested a confirmation that the date/time/location will work for them, and a week later have yet to hear anything.  If I don't hear anything confirming that they are actually going to show up for our meeting by the end of the week, then we will make other plans for our meeting on 10/20.  Stay tuned for the conclusion to the never-ending Safe Kids presentation drama!

This Week's Meeting Topic

Our meeting topic for this week will be a small group discussion about the chapter on Hagar from the book Mothers of the Bible.  You can print out a copy of the reading guide here.

Hospitality Volunteer Needed

The Steering Committee is looking for a volunteer (or two!) to help with coordinating meals for our moms in need.  We currently have six moms expecting babies in the next few months and are in need of someone to help us in organizing meal delivery for these moms (we try to schedule a week's worth of meals for each mom after delivery).  There is a great website that does all of the hard work (http://www.takethemameal.com/ - thanks Jill Deitz!), but it would be helpful to have a contact person who can take on this task.  If you are interested in helping, please let Heather or Erin know!

Directory to be Emailed Thursday

If you would like to be included in our member directory and/or receive a copy of the member directory, please get your registration forms into Erin or Heather by the meeting on Wednesday evening.  We will send out updates during the year as we add new members. 

Last Call for Family Cookout RSVPs!

If you haven't yet replied to the evite for the Family Cookout this weekend at Erin's house, please do so ASAP!  We have to place a chicken order in advance and shop for paper products, so if you could please let us know if you will be coming via evite by Wednesday, we would greatly appreciate it!

Safe Kids is on Again!

Safe Kids has finally responded and they are planning on doing a presentation for our group on Wednesday, October 20th as planned, so we will keep that topic as originally scheduled and keep the coupon seminar for later in the year.  They are planning to discuss car seat, choking & holiday safety, and any other questions you may have that we can fit into the schedule!

This Week's Meeting Topic

Our meeting topic this week will be a group discussion about the chapter on Sarah from the book Mothers of the Bible.  Don't forget to bring your reading guide for the scripture & discussion questions!

Don't Eat the Trail Mix!!!

We are so happy to announce a new member to our group that is also expecting a baby...welcome & congratulations Michele Cancilla!  We are now up to SIX laundry baskets of baby essentials that we will be filling at our family cookout next weekend!
