Thank you to our guest speakers from Kankakee Valley Adult Reading & Literacy Program

Thank you to Connie and Star for joining us last night.  The girls had fun learning about the importance of reading and how much fun it is for the kids.  They also learned about the support KVARLP can provide in preparing for your GED, etc. 


Last night was also our first MOPShop!  Our girls can shop!  One look at the back hallway brought back memories of Black Friday shopping at Walmart.  Way to shop girls!

Tupperware Fundraiser

Karen Parkison is "hosting" a Tupperware fundraiser for us.  If there are any items on the sheet below you can contact us and we'll get it ordered for you.  The price is located below the picture (not the price in the brown box).  If you'll see Karen or Lori Vincent in person you can pay them directly this week and they will deliver your order.  If not, please send your order to teenmops@theadventurechurch.com and we can arrange for payment.  Karen will be closing the party next Tuesday the 27th.  Last minute orders can be dropped off during our meeting (5:30-7:30) at Adventure Christian Church.



2011-2012 Kickoff

It was great seeing so many of our girls back and meeting some new friends as well.  21 girls attended the first meeting!  The most we ever had last year was 14!!!  Way to go!  We are all so very excited for this year.  Our first meeting was fun even though we mostly got a lot of details out of the way, registration forms, introduction of leaders, etc.  We have a new check in computer that will make things easier once we get the hang of it.  We have several new leaders.  We have lots of new volunteers ready to hold babies or help in any way.  It's going to be a great year.  If you didn't make it to our first meeting mark your calendar for September 27th so you don't miss our next one.  We can't wait to see you!  And don't forget The Great Pumpkin 5K on October 22nd!!!
