What We Do |
| Each month you will receive a newsletter including a calendar of activities and events. You choose the events that are right for you and your child then RSVP to the person listed in the newsletter for that activity or event. All of our activities are planned by member volunteers. Some activities are seasonal and not scheduled every month. If there's something you want to do that's not currently be offered (nursing home visits, for example), we encourage you to volunteer to organize it. The president and activities coordinator will be happy to help you! Here's a list of the type of activities that are routinely scheduled: Coffees: Members host coffees in their homes for moms and kids to get together, relax and enjoy each other. Community Service: We host a charity events and organize donation drives to bring about an awareness of our community within ourselves and our children. Farms: Walk through, touch and smell a farm together. Dairy, crop and animal farms are so much fun! Pick fruit or vegetables, tour fields of pumpkins, grapes and apples orchards, sometimes from the back of a hay wagon. Food: Tour restaurants, supermarkets, ice cream shops, cookie shops, enjoy lunching out with the group, learn while you go, relax and enjoy we're all in this together! Museums: Browse through the art and science museums, along with aquariums and zoos. Be sure and enjoy the interactive displays that intrigue you and your child the most while in the company of others in the group. Music, Sports and Gymnastics: Includes group events in area play places, bowling, mini-golf, tours of Buffalo professional teams, playgrounds, gymnastic and music classes. It's great fun and exciting! Kids run off extra energy and parents get to socialize! Places of Interest: Includes visits to places and activities that don't fall into the other categories: Tours of fire & police departments, field trips to places such as the Penn-Dixie site and the Botanical Gardens, Cooking classes at Tops, etc. Playgroups: We organize small playgroups that meet at members' homes, based on your location and/or the age of your child. If you so desire, you could meet with a playgroup once a month, play together and watch each other grow. Seasonal Parties: Our little ones can enjoy a party planned just for them during the Fall, Winter, Spring and/or Summer. It's a blast! There are always plenty of games, food, crafts and songs. Theaters: Enjoy a special performances like Sesame Street Live or Blues Clues with SPP, you and your child at places like: Shea's, Lancaster Opera House and so much more and at group rates! Mom's Activities/Couples Night Out: We recognize the need to retain
our sanity. We plan adult outings too! |
