Just wanted to remind everyone that our first fall meeting of 2009 is this Thursday September 3rd. Please plan on arriving early...like 8:45 am to get your child(ren) settled in their classrooms. It might be a little hectic this first meeting because of new registrations and all so please be patient. Also PLEASE have all your child(rens) belongings LABELLED. If in doubt whether or not to label it....Label it.

Also plan on a yummy breakfast provided by our Steering Team. We will also have door prizes, a game, discussion groups, and a craft activity.


My ONLY request is that you RSVP. Childcare is full however if we know you are coming we can arrange more childcare. We just need to know. So please e-mail me at hilaryaustinrdh@yahoo.com if you are planning on coming and bringing your preschool age children (birth-kindergarten). THANK YOU.

I am praying that God blesses our time together this year. See you at MOPS!
