The next MOPS meeting, scheduled for Thursday 10/2, has been canceled.
Several of our VNC moms have children sick at home with "Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease." We have since learned that children can be contagious for 2 days prior to showing any physical symptoms. Therefore, we have decided that it is in the best interests of the children to protect them and help avoid contact with others who may possibly already be infected.
Our next meeting will be on Thursday, October 16. We plan on having a Trunk-Or-Treat time for our kids that day as well. Our regular meeting time will end at 10:30, allowing enough time for everyone to make their way to the parking lot to begin the festivities. Please come prepared with 50 pieces of wrapped candy. When you arrive, we will have people on hand to help direct you how to park in the lot in order to keep things as safe and "contained" as possible. Your children may come in costume, but we ask that you avoid "cumbersome" costumes (the kids will still need to be able to move freely during MOPPETS) and also costumes that might be scary. We really want this to be a fun, not a frightening experience for everyone. Additionally, there is no need to bring buckets or containers for your children. They will be decorating special trunk-or-treat bags in their classrooms that day!
We can't wait to see you in two weeks!
