Chris and Phillip keep making progress on the playground equipment. It looks great!Stephanie needs volunteers to help with the children's health fair on April 4 from 8-11 a.m. at the high school.
Kelvin has volunteered his garage for garage sale storage. Tell people not to take their garage sale things to the MAM room, as they will disappear. (That is, the garage sale items will disappear, not the people who bring them in.)
Easter Egg Hunt Update
We received $160 in donations for prizes today. Rachel will take care of purchasing additional prizes.
We decided to run three separate prize tables, one for each age group.
Leanne and Karen will frost the sugar cookies with white frosting so the kids will just decorate them with sprinkles and candy. Nicole will purchase sprinkles and candy. Mendy also has sprinkles to donate.
Parenting Fair?
Our book chapter this week was about helping people become self-reliant. This brought us back to our earlier discussion of bringing in speakers. We discussed the possibility of a Parenting Fair. We could bring in some speakers (Nikki Stoddard and Carol Trout were mentioned) and serve some food, since food always brings people in. We could also do something (booths?) to help people become aware of the resources available in our community (Russell Childhood, PAT, Colvin Learning Center, MAM Dental Clinic, free vision checks, etc.) . Stephanie said we could apply for Smart Start grants, but that many people would probably speak for free. We need to decide if we want to pursue this and what our timeline would be.

Does anyone but me think that we need to somehow recognize the work that Phillip and Chris have done?
