�� Fun and Support

1. Moms' Night Out. Take a break with "just the girls" and participate in fun & local evening activities.
2. Kids' Events. Bring the kids to activities and events geared especially for them.

�� Playgroups. Get together regularly with other Moms with kids in the same age group. A great way for you and your child to make new friends.

�� Meals for Moms. Meals are provided for new mothers and others who may be in need of some help.

�� Babysitting Co-op. Members babysit for each other to ‘bank’ babysitting credits that they can use to get other OEDECPTA parents to babysit for them.

�� Member Directory. Published annually, our yearbook/directory makes it easy to keep in touch with other families in the neighborhood.

Playgroups, Babysitting co-op, and other activities will run throughout the year. Please see next page. IF YOU JOIN NOW, YOUR MEMBERSHIP WILL BE GOOD THROUGH SUMMER 2010.  Membership fees for 2009-2010 are $15 for the first parent/grandparent/PTA supporter, and $5 for the second related member.
