2010-2011 MOPS Pre-registration

MOPS is coming!

Pre-registration is Thursday, August 26 from 9am to 11am at SBC Promiseland. Come anytime to fill out registration forms and update MOPPETS info. There will be water fun and treats for the kids. Moms who are new to MOPS are welcome to pre-register!

Total dues for the year are $73.95 or $48.95 for half the year. Scholarships are available.

Also, Mentor Mom Mary is headed to Africa for a missions trip. While many of her needs have been met, deodorant is needed to distribute among the people. If you are out and about pick up an extra deodorant(for men or women) and bring it to Pre-registration!

We have an exciting and fun year planned to encourage you as a mom, wife, and woman. We look forward to seeing you on August 26! If you can't make it to preregistration, you can register at the first MOPS meeting on Thursday, September 9 at Sierra Bible Church!

If you have questions, call Alicia at 928-5502

MNO at Junction Starbucks on August 13

Ready for an iced coffee? Join your MOPS friends on August 13 at 7:00pm at the Junction Starbucks for some coffee and fellowship with friends. Hope you can join us!

MNO at Black Oak Lanes on Friday, July 9th

Do you like to bowl? Friday, July 9th is the MOPS Mom's Night Out at Black Oak Lanes. Meet near the Bowling Counter/Cashier at 6:30pm. Remember, you can park in the garage and take the direct basement entrance to family friendly floor in order to bypass the casino floor. Approx. cost is $5.00 plus shoe rental (around $3.00) per person. Great opportunity to get out and enjoy some time with friends and away from the kids.

This event is open to MOPS moms and friends, so call a friend to bring. We hope to see you there!

Pinecrest Playdate on Tuesday, June 29

Come on up to Pinecrest to enjoy storytime, pottery crafts, and swimming with MOPS. Storytime is at 10:00 am at the Pinecrest Amphitheater. The funny, entertaining songs and stories will have your children laughing and singing along. There is no cost unless you want to give a donation. After storytime, Out of Hand hosts a pottery craft for kids. Your child can create and paint a pottery project for a small fee. My nine year old looks forward to doing a project each summer. You can spend the rest of the day swimming, playing in the sand, and getting a tan. Look for a MOPS sign near the Amphitheater. Alicia F. will have a spot at the beach where you can drop off your stuff before storytime or meet up after story and crafts! Bring your towels, swimsuits, and lunch. Hope to see you there!

Last meeting of our year this Thursday!

We hope you can join us for our end of the year party this Thursday, May 27!

We will have tons of fun with lots of activities, prizes and celebrating together the graduating moms and our MOPS year! We'll also be doing a little survey of how you liked your MOPS experience this year, so come ready to give us your input on ways to make it even better. We'll have our summer activities schedule to handout so we can stay connected over summer. Lots going on... don't miss it!!!

Coming Attractions

Join your MOPS mama friends for a night out with a chick flick!

We'll be heading to the Sonora movie theatre this Friday night (May 21) for the 7p.m.-ish showing (showtime listed for this weekend was 7:20pm, check back here or in paper for actual time) of Letters to Juliet (rated PG). It's sure to be a good time!

Only one more MOPS meeting--May 27th--until we break for summer! Be sure it's on your calendar! You won't want to miss all the fun give-aways, prizes and information on our summer get-togethers. You can also pre-register for next year for a discounted rate!

We'll be seeing you!

This Wednesday!!! Playdate at the Fire Station!

Meet at 10am at the Fire Station in Downtown Sonora
(located at 201 S. Shephard St., just 2 blocks east of the main street)
After the tour, walk down to Legends for ice cream or lunch and more together time!

This is a free tour for everyone!

Last year, this was a great hit for our kids! The Firemen even got all dressed in their gear as part of the tour so that all the kids could see what they looked like and not to be scared of them (and that there weren't really aliens in those suits!). They also all posed with us for a big group photo (which, of course, is buried somewhere in my computer so that it will never again be found!)... so fun for everyone!!! Hope you will join us!
