Announcements from 10/11/2011

Here are the announcements from the October 11th meeting:

•  Foothills Community Church will be having their annual Trunk-or-Treat on Friday, October 28th. 
• Our MOPS group will be having a bake sale during the Trunk-or-Treat on the 28th. If you can donate treats (individually wrapped), they can be brought to the church kitchen on Thursday or Friday late-afternoon. We also need moms to volunteer to work the bake sale (1 hour shift). This is a good way to meet other moms from our group in a fun way! Let Brittany know if you didn't get a chance to sign-up at the meeting and would like to help.
• Butter Braid forms will be collected at our next meeting (October 25th). Our goal is sell 100. We will not be selling Butter Braids in the spring so be sure to stock up for the year. They will be delivered at our November 8th meeting, just in time for the holidays!
• At our next meeting (October 25th), we will be having a raffle for a $100 gift certificate for a company that will print your favorite photo(s) to canvas. Brittany will be bringing in a sample that she has had made through the company. What a beautiful way to decorate your home!
• We will be participating in Operation Christmas child again this year. Each table will be responsible for 3 boxes and a specific type of item. More information to come.
• Directory Information is not given out to our MOPS sponsors and is not allowed to be used for mailing lists and such.
• The speaker at our meeting on October 25th will be Paula Valenta, who will be talking about relationships. If you have a question you would like Paula to address, you can email them to Allison @ alispeedboat@yahoo.com (All questions will be kept anonymous.) 
• Woodrow Wilson Academy (94th & Wadsworth) is having a clothing swap on Saturday, November 12th from 9-12. It is open to the community. There are mostly kids clothes (infant-size 10), but also some women's and a little men's.  Anything from soccer cleats to jeans to pajamas to costumes. The only rules are: 
  • Clothes need to be in good condition (no rips / stains) and nice enough that kids could wear it to school.
  • Leave what you don't need -- please pre-sort by size.
  • Take what you need - bring your own bags/boxes.
  • If your clothes are left at the end of the swap, they will be donated to a local charity.  If you would like to take them back home, that is fine, but you will need to gather them yourself. This year's charity is Haven's Hope, which is located in the lot of Foothills Community Church.  Haven's Hope provides basic living items and mentoring for women and children who have been in abusive situations.
