PLAYGROUPS!If anyone is interested in joining a current playgroup, please email Sara Ross ([email protected]). Fall playgroups will be forming at the end of August for the 2013/2014 year. Make sure to sign up for a play group at the membership drive. It’s a great way to meet other moms and for your little ones to socialize and make friends with others their age. If you know anyone who recently had a baby we are looking to form a new infant play group and have already had some members express interest. Invite a new mom to join CECA and the infant play group.

We are all given different talents, and if you are looking to get connected and use them in some way, I would love to talk with you! We have an open position on our board that has not yet been filled. Now when I say Board, don’t be intimidated! Fundraising/Silent Auction provides funds that we use to power CECA for the year. This pays for our parties and many other things CECA related. I know we are all very busy, this position would require a little extra time from you, but would make a world of difference for our kids and our organization. We wouldn’t expect you to do this alone, we all pitch in on the Silent Auction. Please give this some thought and contact Stacey Asher at [email protected] to help out or learn more. Thank you so much for your consideration!
