October Activity Especially for Little Women - but open to all.
Join us: October 5th - matinee at 2:00 pm -
in the Randall L. Jones Theatre for ---
The Diary of Anne Frank
By Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett,
newly adapted by Wendy Kesslman
Directed by James Edmondson
Photo by Karl Hugh
Life is no longer safe for Anne and her family in 1942 Nazi Amsterdam. Forced into hiding, this simple girl records her struggles through the power of the written word. This Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a testament not to the brutality of war and hatred, but to the unshakable spirit of a young girl and to the hopes and loves of a family and a people trying to hold to their faith.
Tickets are available to us at half off. For balcony seating that would be $12.50 per ticket. Everyone can split the cost for gas depending on how many choose to attend.
Families are welcome. We will need other parents to attend. (The theater does not allow children under 6)
(If you would like better seating please look at the website and decide. All of our seating is half off the regular priced ticket.) http://www.bard.org/plays/diary.html
Tickets need to be paid in advance. If you would like to go I need your ticket money by Sat. Sept. 25th. We will work out the gas later.
We am trying to work out some details for some other fun opportunities at the Festival so I will keep you updated.

Please give your ticket money to Amber and call if you have any questions. Thanks

American Liberty Girls!
It's time for another Tea Party. Join us for clubs this Tuesday at 12:45 p.m.
We will have a little lesson about the Boston Tea Party. Instead of tossing the tea, however, we'll learn to serve it properly. Parents, you will just love your little ladies when they return home with such good manners!
We will also be practicing the fine art of writing with a quill pen and ink. Come make a little copy book to take home.
See you there!

Knights!
Tuesday we are going on a field trip! Come and time and be ready for some 'hot' fun! We will be going to the 'Hot Pots' over by Monroe. (We might all have to squeeze in the back of my truck, so if anyone is uncomfortable with that, then you might not want to come. I do hope that won't be a concern......) We will learn what the 'Hot Pots' is, where the water has been, what temp the water is coming out of it, and we will boil some eggs! Please RSVP to me to let me know if you ARE or ARE NOT coming. I need a pretty close count! Mandy 201-9175

Just A Note
Hello Families
I feel like I owe you an apology as I have been AWOL since we have started the year. I missed the opening social and book group and I think you are just minutes from PE and I am in my pajamas at home with a newborn on my lap. I have been more than a little out of it, but rumor has it that just days after having a baby I consented to be chairman of the board. Note to self: Do not invite women to your house when big decisions are being made and you are taking Demerol post c-section! I just wanted to let you know if you have questions or concerns that though I am certain I don't know the answer that I will find the answer if you need me. To the new families, welcome! I look forward to knowing you and your children and hope that if you have any kids 10-16 that you will consider having them join our scholar club, we have such a great time together. I still plan to begin scholar club on October 14th, more details on that forthcoming. Until that day I am trying to figure out how to be mom to 6 boys. Two of my kids made the tough decision (for mom anyway) to return to school for the year and so it will be Kyle's face that you see most often. I hope that all of you are having a great year and that your kids are doing great no matter where they are being educated. I am grateful to be a part of this group and thrilled to be working with all of you wonderful ladies. If you have concerns or questions about anything please feel free to contact me anytime.
