Changes to Schedule

As we discussed last week at Kristie's house, I've gone ahead and changed our future Mommy Salon meetings from Tuesdays to Thursdays to accommodate a few mommies that can't make it on Tuesdays. Please look over the schedule and let me know if you have conflicts on any dates that you are hosting, leading a discussion, or teaching. Thanks!!!

Schedule Update

Our 2009-2010 schedule has been updated! View it here on the blog. We still have a few months without discussion leaders, so please sign up via a comment or email if you're interested in leading a discussion on those books. As your turn to lead a book discussion approaches, you can write a post on the blog if you'd like the rest of us to prepare for the discussion in any way (e.g. writing something, thinking about some questions, posing questions of our own, participating in a blog-conversation about the book, etc.).

We have a wealth of talents and interests among our little group! Thank you all for volunteering your expertise and time for our "learning topics". Learning topic teachers may also post information on the blog-for example, anything you need us to bring, demo videos, handouts, how-tos, follow-up material, or links to interesting sites relating to your topic.

Thank you, too, for your book recommendations. If you're looking for books to read outside of Mommy Salon, I've listed everyone's suggestions in the sidebar of the blog.

Our second Mommy Salon meeting is coming right up! Please RSVP to each month's hostess (Kristie, this month) so she will know how many to expect. See you next week!

P.S. Remember, you can always email or comment if you have any, well, comments or questions!
