August Updates

Hi there ladies,I can't believe that it is already August. For those of you with older kids, that means...16 more days until school starts!I trust that you all have been enjoying a relaxing summer. Your Steering Team has been busy planning the upcoming MOPS year.It looks to be WONDERFUL!

Here are some changes that you need to know about:

1. We are going to be meeting twice a month. We will meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. The dates of our meetings are:
Sept 15 & 29 Oct 13 & 27 Nov 10 Dec 8 Jan 12 & 26
Feb 9 & 23 Mar 9 & 23 Apr 13 & 27 May 11

2. This one is going to be new to everyone... We are going to be charging a $20 dues this year. Many groups charge $5 per meeting dues ($95/year). We have been fortunate to not have to go that direction thus far. But, since we are meeting twice a month, and MOPS is providing the food once a month (to take the load off of you) we need to collect this fee to pay for the food. There are a couple of options in paying this:
A. You can send a check made out to MOPS of Simpsonville to Cheryl Griggs BEFORE the meetings begin in September. Her address is 109 Legends Way Simpsonville, SC 29681
B. You can pay Cheryl at the first MOPS meeting on September 15th.

I know money is tight right now, and this is going to catch some of you totally off guard. Please don't let this $20 keep you from MOPS. If you need to speak to me about a payment arrangement PLEASE call me or email me.

I am so excited about MOPS this year! We have wonderful speakers lined up and LOTS of fun planned!Enjoy the rest of your summer and I'll see you in September (did that song just go through your head too :) )!
