Parent Education

We have two parent ed programs scheduled. The first program is scheduled for Saturday, April 13 at 10:00 AM. It will be held at Aldersgate United Methodist Church. Maria Mitchell of Efficient Cleaning will show us how to clean our homes quickly and efficiently and how to control clutter! I know that I definitely need that these days!

The second program is planned for Tuesday, April 16 at 7:00 PM at the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD Technology and Learning Center. Gayle Moore the Reading Recovery Coordinator along with a team of teachers will show us how to provide our children with hands-on literacy (reading and writing) activities. The program will be geared to preschool-aged children. Gayle Moore had a similiar program for us last year and it was full of really good activities. You won't want to miss this!

Member Coffee

This month's member coffee will be Friday, March 15th from 10am-noon at Bonny Tillman's house. Her address is 2309 Sheraton Drive, call 972-245-5504 for directions and/or to RSVP. As usual, feel free to bring your children and a snack to share and come meet some members, or get to know them better.

All Around Dallas

All Around Dallas is headed west this month--to the Fort Worth Zoo. Let's meet there at 10:30 AM on Saturday, March 16th. The zoo's newest exhibit, Texas Wild, opened last summer and is worth the trip to Fort Worth! Texas Wild covers eight acres and features 300 animals, and its interactive displays of Texas' natural features and history could keep you busy all day. And there are new restaurants (Dickey's, Pizza Hut) and a train! And I haven't even mentioned all the other great exhibits (OK, I love the tiger exhibit with the waterfall).

Tickets are $8.50 for adults, $6 for children 3-12 years old, and free for children 2 years and under. We can get a discount if there are 15 or more in our party, so RSVP to me by March 11. For more information, check out the zoo's website at www.fortworthzoo.com.

Thank you to everyone that brought food to the February meeting. It was all yummy! Also, a big thanks to all that helped setup and cleanup before and after the meeting. We certainly appreciate your help. It's hard to believe we only have three meetings left before summer. We hope to see you at all of them. Don't forget that we can always use an extra hand in setting up the Thursday before the regular meeting. We meet at the church at 3:30. It only takes about 15 minutes. See you in March!
