What's new - March 2010
Letter from the Committee
The days are slowly getting longer and the ice is beginning to thaw on the Lake.
Only about three weeks left until Spring is here!
Just think of it...long playdates at the park, tired kids, long naps and early bedtimes. No more piles of snotty tissues, emergency weekend doctor visits and no more reminding little people to cough into their elbows. I may be getting ahead of myself but it’s okay to daydream, right?
Anyway, my name is Peggy and I’m the Secretary for Parents of Tots. I’ve been in this position for two years now. I joined with my two daughters when we moved here from Connecticut. We’ve been very active with the group and we’ve gotten so much out of it! It looks as though we’ll continue to be a part of Parents of Tots due to the fact that we’ve added a third to our craziness this last July.
I’d like to send a special thanks to Croatia where Sandra, our Newsletter Editor is putting together this month’s newsletter on her vacation. Congratulations on a great job with the newsletter, Sandra. It’s a lot of hard work and is enjoyed by everyone!
Next month we have our annual fundraiser at Fuddruckers on March 24th. We have some amazing raffle prizes listed inside this newsletter! You can send in your raffle orders to me and we will include them for the drawing on the 24th. We would love to see everyone there that night if possible since Fuddruckers will be giving us 20% of every meal presented with a voucher.
The voucher will be sent out with the email blast every week but if you need a copy or have a question don’t hesitate to contact me at peggymacaluso@yahoo.com.
Welcome to Tammy Whitney! She’s joined us as the new Master Crafter. I’m sure we’ll be seeing Tammy in many more roles to come as well :-).
Looking ahead we have so many exciting things happening.
For the second year in a row we’ll be hosting the Children’s Games at at the Festival by the Lake on June 12th. We need lots of volunteers throughout the day to help. It’s a great opportunity for your other halves to get involved as well! Please contact Holly Lannen at sailmarvel@yahoo.com or 781-621-8280 with any questions or if you’d like to sign up to help.
I look forward to seeing you all soon!
Peggy
