Apple Fest!

It's Fall! This week the Moms Club of South Hill celebrated by hosting an Applefest!

Applefest was a chance for Moms and kids to enjoy the fresh fruit of the season in all kinds of yummy ways!

The kids cored apples (with some help from the Mommies:) and set them out to dry on our special apple dryer. Then we picked some apples from the backyard to make apple necklaces.

The dried apples were a huge hit with kids and Moms alike!

With their tummies full, the kiddos played together while the Mommies sipped on Mulled apple cider and munched on Baked Apples and Apple crisp, enjoying some much needed chat time!

If you are a Stay-at-Home mommy in the zipcodes of 98373 (south of 512), 98374 or 98375, don't miss out on any of our fall fun! Contact us at mvp.momsclub@yahoo.com to come check out an event! We have lots of fun Halloween activities planned and are looking forward to working on our Thanksgiving service project! Hope to meet you soon!

October President's Letter

Happy Fall Ladies,

This is my favorite time of year. I love the change in the weather, the falling leaves and the routine that is happening as the kids settle into school, which by the way, my boys are loving. October is a big month for my family. We have a few birthdays and my anniversary is this month. Doug also takes two weeks off every year to spend with the family. This year will be a little different with both boys in school, but hopefully we get some organizing done in the house. (It’s a thought.)

As always, we have a great calendar this month. We have a lot of fall-themed events. One of our favorites is the game night. This is always a huge success, and we have a ton of fun. We also have a pumpkin patch tour, pumpkin decorating, and much more.

Don't forget to use the goodsearch.com search engine to do all of your searching and purchasing. We will not benefit much this year, but next year we should be able to use it to help with our service projects. Right now with the economy the way it is, it’s so hard to help out where it is needed because we are all feeling the crunch, too. So every little bit helps. If you have an idea for raising money for upcoming service projects, please let me know. We have applied for grants, but as we know, they are not guaranteed.

I hope you all have a great month, and I hope to see you at the upcoming events!

August President's Letter

Happy summer ladies,
Summer is finally here and the weather has been great. We have been spending a lot of time at the park or in our back yard. I hope you are all enjoying it. First, I wanted to thank everyone for the help and support they have given to Ali M. We have set up meals to be taken to her twice a week until the baby is born. I have had the chance to visit her and talk with her on the phone and she is so very thankful for everything. This is what MOMS Club is all about, supporting one another in time of need or any time. It is great to see we can come together as a group and make a difference in someone's life. The activities committee has come up with a great calendar this month again. We have a ton of outdoor activities going on. Park days will be on Wednesdays all month, and we have a water park day and a sprinkler day, too. Hopefully this great weather will stick around for that!! We will also be having playgroup sign ups at the August Meet & Greet. We did this a couple of years ago and it worked out great! Everyone picks a number and goes in that order to sign up. Playgroups are a wonderful way to get to know members and have your kids interact with other kids, something they don't always get with us staying home. I have participated in playgroup for about 2-1/2 years and it has been great for me and my boys. I hope you are all having a great summer, and I look forward to seeing you at this month’s activities.
