 Baby Club

“New” to Randolph? Bambinos and Bambinas who may be considered too young for playgroups are welcome to join their mommies at their very own Baby’s Club.

Meeting times and lengths will vary depending on the activities that are planned and, more importantly, the schedule of the baby!

Please RSVP to Tricia no later than the day before each event.  If nobody RSVP's, the event will be canceled.

Babysitting Co-Op 

Need FREE BABYSITTING?  Join the babysitting Co-op!  It’s a great way to make new friends for you and your children, and get free babysitting in the process!

Participation in the co-op eliminates the need to feel guilty about asking friends to help watch your kids when you need to run an errand in the daytime, or need a night out without the kids.  And to help us all get to know one another before utilizing each other for babysitting, we are scheduling monthly evening meetings for the moms and daytime playgroups for the children.  It’s really a great program, and it’s even better when we have more members.  To register, or for more information, contact Lesley and Debbie. 

        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

• Suggestions for menus or any improvements are always welcome.

• We will attempt to hold Dinner Club the third Saturday of each month

 If you are interested in joining us, or receiving information about Dinner Club, please contact Doreen Cohen or Susie Schoenberger.

Family Adventures

This NEW club offers a range of activities held throughout the year. If you have any suggestions for or would like to help plan an event, please let me know.

Welcome to the 2007-2008 year of Golf with Newcomers and Neighbors!  Last year was a great year for golf in and around Randolph. We have a mix of players from first timers to some of us who have been playing a few years. There is always someone to pair up with.

This year we have played at Lake Lackawanna, a nice 9 hole course not too far away, and we have even done 18 holes at Rolling Greens in Sparta.  The weather is getting much nicer now so let me know if you would like to join us for a few holes.   We can also hit at the driving range or play a round at the pitch and putt.  Do come and join us.  We have a fun time, a nice walk, a chat (when no one is hitting), and play some golf as well.

As any good chef will tell you, your meal will only be as good as the ingredients you use.  Using in season, fresh, local items is the best way to a truly gourmet dining experience!  Are you up for a fall challenge?  Join us for the first Gourmet Club get-together.  We will share a meal prepared by all of us, each dish made with local fall produce, root vegetables and all that is good and wonderful this harvest (recipe will be provided to you upon your RSVP).  To further indulge and celebrate harvest time we will be pairing each course with the appropriate hoppy ales and wine varietals for an optimal sensory experience!

There is so much opportunity for our members to work in their community with MHH, that we have decided to make it an interest group.  Please email Nancie Ludwig if you and your family would like to be on the email list to hear about monthly events and how you can help.  There will be opportunities for children 5 years old to adult throughout the year.

The following Professional Volunteer Positions are also available:

• Construction Volunteer Scheduler for Morris County

• Team Leader-Lunch Program

Contact Anna Masker for additional information.

Men’s Poker

Join us for a night of cards!

Men's Poker Club is 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 $40 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 Phil for more information.

Mommy and Me

Come and join us for some entertaining outings and activities with the kids!  Mommy and Me is a great way to get out and meet other moms while the kids get a chance to play.  These are always kid friendly activities, targeted for the 2 – 6 age range. So take a look, hopefully we will see you at one of these upcoming activities.  Visit here for directions to local parks, links of interest, and other resources. 

This FREE music class is geared towards the under 5 crowd, with a parent or grandparent to participate with the child.  The class, which is held in the Randolph Library Meeting Room, runs about 30 minutes and is appropriate for infants aged 6 months right up to the pre-K crowd.  There is no fee for this class, just your current paid membership to NNCR (see, membership does have it's privileges!).

  Playgroups

Playgroups are a great way for your child to interact with other children and an even better way for you to make new friends, share parenting tips, and have some stimulating adult conversation.  Here's how the process works... A parent contacts me to ask for placement in a group, and they are placed on a list for that age group.  When enough names have accumulated on a list, I will contact each person in that group and let them know.  One person will be asked to be in charge of pulling together the first meeting of the group.  At that initial meeting the group will collectively decide upon which day, time, frequency and such the group will meet each week.  Afterwards, you just let me know how it went, and your playgroup is formed!

The following playgroups are now being formed:

-a 2-year-old boys group

-a 1½-year-old girls group

-a 5-year-olds group

Please contact Laurie Trezza if you are interested in becoming part of a playgroup or if your existing playgroup is open to new members.  Happy Playing!!!!

 Scrapbooking

Are you one of those women who've accumulated many scrapbooking supplies over the years?  Got tons of paper, stickers, embellishments etc. collecting dust?  Never got around to putting all those photos into your scrapbooks?  Full of good intentions, but just too busy or just don't know where to start?

Well, we're a group of women who've all been there (are still there)!  We get together once a month in the evening to just get something DONE.  Come and bring along all or some of your stuff and enjoy great conversation and some munchies while we all work on our own scrapbooks!

We do not have sales meetings for any scrap booking supplies EVER.

Tennis

We will play tennis on Tuesday mornings until it snows or the temps are in the 50’s.  Contact Anita today to get on the email list and just respond when you can play. If you have an interest in an evening group, you can use the email list to find times that others may want to play along with you.
