Babysitting Co-Op
Want FREE BABYSITTING? Join B.A.B.E.S., By Agreement Babysitting Exchange Services! It’s a great way to make
new friends for you and your children, while getting free babysitting! You no longer need to feel guilty about asking
friends (and neighbors) to help watch your children when you need to go to the doctor, run errands, or even enjoy a night out!
Members use coupons in exchange for free babysitting with other members of the coop. As coupons are the "method" of payment, there's no need to
trade babysitting with only one person - the entire coop is a pool of available babysitters! New members are encouraged to attend the monthly
evening meetings to meet other members.

Book Club
Since
some of you may be new to the club, we’d like just to review how our
group is run. In June the group decides together on the books for
the upcoming year. In order to include everyone interested, we
pretty much alternate between evening and daytime meetings. The meetings
usually fall on the last week of the month. This can vary as the
person hosting chooses the date. Due to the holiday schedule our
December selection is not discussed until the beginning of January.
Evening meetings start at 7:30 and daytime meetings start around Noon.
For daytime discussions we all bring something to share and have lunch
together – children are always welcome during the day. You can
choose to read all of the books or just a few; there’s no commitment
required. If you are having difficulty finding a book, please
contact us as we have one set which can be borrowed on a first come, first
serve basis.

Community Service
Community Service offers you an opportunity to help a variety of local groups and get to
know your fellow members at the same time.
| Helping Hands |
Helping Hands is a group that provides either homemade or store bought meals to
members in a time of need – a new baby, an illness, or the loss of a family member. Any assistance is welcome! We’ve really made
a difference in the lives of our fellow members, and they truly appreciate a “helping hand”. Contact Andrea Mihalko to volunteer.

Dinner Club Travel
the globe without leaving your town,Expand your culinary horizons...
Come have some fun, see old friends, meet new people, and enjoy a good meal and a fun night out!
Dinner club is forming. This year will offer creative themes (such as, Harvest Meal , Spain : Tapas Party, Rustic French Cooking,
Winter Warm-Up Dinner, Italian Alfresco Dinner, Southern Accents and of course the favorite- Secret Ingredient Dinner) with suggested
menus. We will start out with the easier recipes and then progress to slightly more difficult recipes as the ‘dinner group’ desires.
Rules of Engagement:
- People will be asked whether they want to bring a main course, side, appetizer, or dessert. We will track who
brings what – so that the same people are not constantly bringing main courses.
- We will assign each couple a suggested recipe for which substitutions are allowed.
- We would like an RSVP 14 days in advance, if possible – so that we can properly plan the event
- Hosts – need only provide soft drinks, tea, coffee, and a fun place to be.
- BYOB- let’s not forget to bring a bottle of wine, beer or whatever else goes with the theme of the night
- If you sign up for a dinner and for some reason can't make it, please have the courtesy to let the coordinators and
host know as soon as possible so that we can make other arrangements for your dish.
- Suggestions for menus or any improvements are always welcome.
If you are interested in joining us, or receiving information about Dinner Club,
please contact Stacey Portmann.

Men’s Poker
The Men's Poker Club is always looking for some new
players. We meet monthly, on the first Friday of each month, at a different host's home. We play a friendly game of Dealer's Choice - if
you can explain it (the same way, twice) we'll try to play it! Some games we've played recently include Hold'em, Omaha, 7-card stud (also 6
and 5 card stud), Bingo, Rags and Royal Hold'em.
We keep it friendly with a 3-raise limit and no
check-raising. A $50 buy-in gets most players to midnight -usually! Come try your luck and see if your Poker Face is up to the challenge !!
Invitations are handled via Evite.com, so forward you email address to Andy or Chuck for more information.
