Parents Night Out – UPDATE
Our 1st Parent’s Night Out was a great success! 12 youth and 11 adults entertained 32 kids from families at Oakbrook and MOPS.  They designed train tracks, built with legos, created art, played games, and got to be silly and have a good time!  A great time was had by all! Thanks to Marianne Harvey and Theresa Schmechel who came up with all the activities and crafts for the kids to do!  Thanks to all the adult and youth workers who attended…we quite literally couldn’t have done it without you! And a special thank you to Pick n Save and Walmart for helping us provide a meal to all the workers beforehand.  We have already gotten several requests from parents to do this again!!
