Good Morning! Just a reminder that we have a MOPS meeting this Thursday, February 25 from 9:30-11:30. Spring is right around the corner and I always get a little too spend happy buying plants, flowers, spring decorations, Easter candy, etc.  This week's speaker, Heather Cockrum, is going to help make our wallets a little happier by showing us some ways to cut those costs and becoming smarter shoppers.

From Heather:

"Interested in learning how to save money without ever clipping a coupon?  Want to save on almost every online purchase through one extra click of the mouse?  Tired of paying too much money for too few groceries, which, in all honesty, may not even last you the week without another quick trip or two to fill in the gaps?  If so, come and learn how to be a smart shopper! You may be ready to jump in full force, or you may have no spare time (but no spare money either) and, if truth be told, want to save using the least amount of time and energy as possible. Either way, I can help you!  This class will provide a general overview of smart shopping techniques, touching on topics such as basic couponing, price matching, saving on online purchases, and pinpointing key sites that will tell you exactly where the best deals are."

Here is just some of what Heather has gotten for free!

Please try to arrive and be settled by 9:30, so that we can start promptly. Hope to see you there!

MOPS meeting this week!

We have a MOPS meeting this week (Thursday, February 11) from 9:30 am to 11:30 am. If you are using childcare, please come a few minutes early to get your child settled either in the nursery or the big kid room. This week we will be doing a devotion and craft. And of course, fellowshipping and snacking!

Just a couple of reminders:
-Dues are due for this semester-$30 or $35 (depending on if you use childcare or not). These funds go into our coffers (not MOPS International) and help pay for our childcare workers, craft supplies, etc.
-Inclement weather policy-IF Knox County Schools are closed, we will NOT be having MOPS. We will try to reschedule and we love you all, but it is not worth possible harm to get together ;)
-A coordinator is still needed for our Egg Hunt on Good Friday. Please (please!) contact Dawn at knoxmops@gmail dot com (or talk to me at the meeting) if you are able/willing to help out.

New friends and snacks are always welcome at our meetings, so please feel free to bring both! Hopefully, we will see you Thursday.
