MOPS Wish List:

Just so you know, we are in need of a few things. Our MOPPETTS needs are growing, as MOPS grows. We may need to split a room, which means we need more toys. Like many organizations & people in these tough economic times, our budget is lower this year. Due to community need, we’ve given extra scholarships, which we are happy to do, but that action decreases our budget in a significant way. If you are able to help us out, the following things would be appreciated:

·          Large plastic tote (need 2) for MOPPETTES toys

·          A gently used toddler toy

·          $20 (amount paid 1 moppet worker one wk)

·          1 pack of printer/copy paper

·          I’ll help set up and tear down things for the MOPPETTS at regular meetings

·          I’ll help clean up after meetings

·          I’ll help set up before meetings

·          I'll help at the Randy Peterson Concert Fundraiser April 16^th

·          I'll help at the MOPS rummage sale Fundraiser on May 21st

·          I’d be interested in serving on the Steering Team in the future
