Walker Springs Playdate

Our last scheduled playdate of the summer is next Tuesday at Walker Springs Park which is a nice shaded park located behind Walker Springs Apartments.  There are nice restrooms and a gazebo with a picnic table at this park. We will start our playdate around 9:30 in the morning.  Please come out and see us for our last summer playdate! 

If you didn't make it to the last playdate you can see all the pictures here!

Who We Are!

In the next few weeks we will be posting bios of all of our current leadership members.  Until then, here is our steering team for the 2011-2012 year:

Co-Coordinator: Christa Margene
Co-Coordinator: Lora Langlois
Finance: Janet Morgan
Hospitality: Janet Lawlor
Publicity: Bridgette Boudreaux
Small Group Leaders:
 - Working Moms: Meg Brown and Jeannie Goodman
 - Stay-at-Home Moms: Jennifer Withrow
 - Special Need Moms: Hedy Collins

I wanted to take this opportunity to also talk a little bit about our group.  There are several MOPS groups in the Knoxville area, but Central Bearden MOPS is the only group that has both daytime and night time meetings.  We began as a combination of two MOPS groups (one that met in the day and one that met at night) and instead of eliminating a set of meetings we just kept both!  This makes our group unique to our area and we hope that the convenience of having two meetings during each month allows easy access for all moms who want to attend.

You do not have to attend Central to attend our MOPS group.  As a matter of fact, at least three of our steering team leaders are not Central members.  If you are a mom of a pre-schooler (pregnancy-Kindergarten) then you are welcome to attend!

New Schedule

Our dates for the new 2011-2012 MOPS year are now posted.  We don't have many speakers in place yet, but the Moms Night Outs have been planned so please add those to your calendar now!  We are looking forward to this next year of MOPS and we hope you are too.

Also, this Friday we will be at McFee splash pad in Farragut at 9:30.  Please join us if you can.

Kick-Off Tomorrow

Moms, we are so excited that our Fall Kick-off is tomorrow! After dropping your "moppets" off in the rooms down the preschool hallway (in the west wing of the main building) please join us for pizza and sides upstairs in room 332 at 6pm. We can't wait to start off this year of MOPS and we look forward to meeting some new faces.

If you have questions about the childcare during MOPS please read our Moppetts page or email Bridgette Boudreaux.
