Our calendar includes several regularly scheduled events: Bunco Club, our Board Meeting, Scrap Booking Club, Healthy Cooking Club, and Book Club. Most other activities are planned by our playgroups. Each month, a playgroup is assigned one of the following categories on a rotating basis:

• Nature (Week 1): Get outside and explore our world. Plan a special activity that will introduce the children to nature.
• Community (Week 2): Be involved and make a difference. Plan an activity that will teach our kids about society and cooperation.
• Moms' Getaway (Week 3): An outing just for moms (day or night) where we can have adult conversation.
• Educational (Week 3): Get enlightened and inspired. Plan an activity or tour that teaches history, about a business, art or any other instructive topic.
• Physical (Week 4): Get active and fit. Plan an event encouraging children to play or exercise together and just have fun.
• Creative (Week 4): Foster innovation. Plan an activity encouraging imaginative play.
