Hi Everybody!

I know from past experience how hard it can be to communicate with even 1 other person (not to mention 4) when organizing an event. This might seem like overkill, but I think having a central place to post messages will be a lot easier than passing a ton of emails back and forth over the next 2 weeks. So if that's cool with you all, let's get to it!


Here is the list of paper goods and food items that we need to bring for the party:

• Plates


• Napkins


• Cups


• Salty Snack


• Sweet Snack


• Fruit (Kristin)


• Juice Boxes (Kristin)
  

Would you all please sign up to bring one or more of these requested items? I'll volunteer to bring fruit and juice boxes (I brought mandarin oranges in "pumpkin" cups for my youngest son's party last year). Please note that the food items are just suggestions - feel free to bring whatever you like. Thanks!

We are also on the hook for coming up with entertainment. Specifically:

• 3 games


• 1 Arts & Craft project


• 1 Story
  

I literally spent 3 minutes looking up ideas for games online and found some cool suggetions, like a fall-themed Bingo game and a pumpkin toss. Please pass along any ideas that you might have for games, crafts, stories, songs, etc.

One other thing - are you all interested in doing decorations? Mrs. Brown didn't mention it, but I think the kids would love them. Just let me know.

Thanks again - I look forward to meeting each of you in person! Kristin
