Happy Holidays one and all!!! The holiday/party season has arrived at last. I was wondering if it would ever get here! This is my favorite part of the year, with the leaves changing, the Fall Fest party, the first frost, Christmas get-togethers, watching the turn of the new year at a New Year's Eve celebration, then the Month of Love and Valentine's day, followed by the green returning to the yards, and St. Patrick's Day, and finally Easter, a time for remembering and also finding them eggs! Though not everyone celebrates all of the above-mentioned events (alright, I do, but the rest of you don't have to!), the CECPTA traditionally celebrates Fall Fest, Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter. So, trying to stay one step ahead of the game (really hard to do if you have a 2 year old), I've already planned the calendar of events. They are:

Fall Fest - Oct. 27th from 10 till noon, at a location to be announce at the general meeting on October 11th. We'll have crafts, games, costume contests, prizes and snacks. A pre-party meeting will be Monday, October 22nd at 7pm at Lee Trimble's house. Please come and help us get ready for fall fest. We will be making decorations filling goody bags etc.

Christmas Party - December 13th at the general meeting. Each child will get his/her picture made with Santa, then get a gift as well!

Valentine's Day Party - Feb 14th 6-9 pm at the Homestead Subdivision Pool House. This will be a little different from previous years in that this is a Children's Only party. No adults allowed! We will have certified childcare providers on hand as well as volunteers. I know it'll be tough trying to find something to do on Valentine's evening without the kids, but you'll just have to improvise!

Easter Egg Hunt - March 30th, 10:30 till noon at the Oak Hill Park located at the corner of Rolling Hills and Hebron. This will be our traditional Easter Egg hunt with the Easter Bunny making a surprise visit to the kids. We'll provide snacks and special "Prize Eggs" (one per child), while the parent will provide 1 dozen filled eggs per child participating.

Sign Up sheets will be provided at each meeting. We'll also have some pre-party meeting to help set-up crafts, fill goody bags etc. If you are interested in participating or helping, please sign up. If you have any questions, or comments, please call me, Lee Trimble at 972-492-2490. Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

Our children will be visited by the Carrollton Fire Department during October's general meeting. A fire safety presentation and an up close look at a fire truck are planned. The children will be decorating Halloween cookies for the firefighters during this meeting as well. Thanks to those of you who volunteered to help set-up or clean-up the nursery area next month.
