Get-Together Suggestions

January 10th, 2006

It was fun to catch up with two of our first babies at Mum’s Group yesterday. Thanks to Carla for welcoming us into her home and providing yummy things to eat.

After advice from our hostesses, Carla & Heidi, and discussion with the six members attending, we’ve decided on the following plan:
We will have a set Monday morning get-together at 10am for no longer than two hours. We will alternate hosting by asking for a volunteer from the attending members – or you may schedule ahead with Adrienne who will keep the details up-to-date and send email with future scheduled get-togethers. You may wish to invite members to a public place rather than your home – suggestions included a park, a food court, a café, some local event, or any other baby-friendly, breast-feeding-friendly, access-to-loo environment. The home host will provide simple refreshments if they are able.

Due to the frequency of meetings, it is predicted our get-togethers will be small and therefore a little less overwhelming for each host. Please send an RSVP or apology if you wish – this may make planning easier. If you miss one week – you won’t need to wait a whole month to see us again and ask advice about something! By providing Adrienne with your cell phone number, last minute changes or reminders will be sent by txt to your phone using a distribution list.

We will evaluate our arrangement and make new agreements as time moves on and our babies are bigger and perhaps have different requirements. Thanks to Whitney for offering to host at her house next week and Lorene the week after. The Monday after that is Nelson Anniversary day so will be a break for Mum’s Group. If you’d like to grab a date to host – please email Adrienne and the list will be available to review at each get-together.

10am Monday 16 January, 2006
Whitney Atkinson’s House
