We'll meet, greet and have a treat. There may also be a speaker to talk to us about "Childproofing Your Home." Details and an Evite coming!
SPRING RESALE
Saturday, April 17 Start sorting through those drawers and rummaging through closets - the Spring Resale is coming. Take a look at our Resources Page for more information, but save the date and get ready to shop (or sell) 'til you drop!
Contact Rebecca Johnson if you are interested in selling or volunteering at rebeccamikejohnson@yahoo.com
Important Information:
Volunteers Needed for Resale - Especially Dads!
We always need help setting up, staffing and taking down the resale. Even if you're not selling, can you help? Volunteers get to shop the Friday night and Saturday morning presale - before the doors open to the public!
Also - last year dads rocked unloading vans and setting up the resale & we'Âd love to have them back again!!!!
Our idea: spouses come early to help unload, then trek up the street to a local bar for some dad's bonding time while the rest of us finish setting up!
Contact Rebeccaat rebeccamikejohnson@yahoo.com if your multiples dad can help!!

News & What's New for 2010
Urgent Help Needed --- Board Positions
After many years of service, Kelly Soprych would like to soon retire her position as President.We are looking for volunteers to shadow her, and eventually replace her.
Kelly's Resignation Letter is available under the Files Section of the Yahoo Forum under "Letter from Our President."
We're also adding Board positions: Assistant Treasurer, Co-President, Mentor Program Manager and Vice President to help with each job.
If you can commit just a little time, you can help WSMOM run well and continue to serve our members!
We can't do it without your help! Contact us at wsmoms@gmail.com for more information or to volunteer!
Event Staffing Members will be required to volunteer 1 hour of their time at some point during the year to get our activities or events going, staffed or torn down. This time does not include volunteering for the resale! Let us know which event interests you and we'll sign you up! We know you're busy, but we need your help to provide family-friendly events for our multiples community.
Mom's Nights In Can you host a Mom's Night In? It's fun to host, you'll meet new and old friends, and you end up with tons of leftovers!!! Contact us at wsmoms@gmail.com if you're interested!
