Member Activity Descriptions
Our activities allow us to meet, connect and stay active. Activities differ each month and any member who chooses can get involved in planning them. Most of our activities take place on weekdays during day hours. Of course, Moms Night Outs, Couples Night Outs and Family Events are almost always scheduled for time when husbands and school-aged children may also join in the fun. We are always planning new and interesting activities, but here is a general idea of the types of activities we coordinate consistently:
- PLAYGROUPS: We have general all ages playgroups, aged playgroups and themed playdates where children will make a craft or participate in an activity together. Most of these playdates take place in our members' homes.
- PARK DAYS: When the weather allows we meet at local parks with our children.
- MOMS NIGHT OUT: Once a month we schedule a Moms Night Out. These may include dinner at a local restaurant, an activity such as yoga, bowling or board games, or a night of entertainment such as comedy.
- COUPLES NIGHT OUT: Occasionally we will schedule a couples night out at a local event.
- FAMILY EVENTS: Usually once a month we schedule a family event so that your whole family may attend together. These are often at community events, such as movies in the park, music on the green or at a night out against crime. We also plan some family events at local parks or pools.
- MUSEUMS AND ZOOS: We often visit local childrens' museums and zoos, including local petting zoos and children's gardens.
- INDOOR PLAY PLACES: Activities often include playdates at a local mall play area, McDonald's play place, Jump Zone, Pump It Up, Gymboree open play or a local gymnastics open play.
- LUNCH BUNCHES: Meet with other moms for lunch. Moms with school-aged children come without their kids and moms with kids at home bring them along.
- BREAKFAST BUDDIES: Breakfast at local restaurants with your infant or toddler or after you drop your children off for preschool or school.
- MONTHLY BUSINESS MEETINGS: On the second Tuesday of each month we hold a business meeting in Frankfort. At each meeting there is either a speaker or an activity (halloween party, cookie exchange, etc). And there are always activities for the children. This is where members can discuss issues and suggest activities for our calendar.
- SERVICE PROJECTS: We are always conducting service projects for children and moms, such as school supply drives, toy drives and food drives.
- LOCAL TOURS: Take your kids to visit local businesses such as restaurants, pizzerias, bakeries, the fire department, a veterinarian office or a local pet store for a tour - and maybe even make something to take home.
- ICE CREAM SOCIALS: Meet at a local ice cream store to eat special treats, talk and play.
