5pm - Homemade Wrapping and Gift Bags

 

Kids Shopping Korner - we will have an area just for kids to shop for their parents, grandparents, siblings and friends. Gifts will have a $5 price cap and an adult will help them shop, pay and bag their items.

 

HOLIDAY PHOTO SHOOT:

Slots begin at 3pm and are in 15 minute increments until the last slot at 5:45pm. Please let us know if you want to reserve a spot! We'll have a nice holiday backdrop and decorations, but you are free to bring any special additions to that.

 

INSPIRED SALES AND DISCOUNTS:

One day only! 10% off Gift Certificates for classes in 2010! If you know you will be coming to take advantage of this, you can let us know in advance and we will have it ready for you to pick it up that day. If you can't make it that day, buy a Gift Certificate on any other day in December for 5% off.

 

One day only! Memberships will be $35! Renewals for current members to extend your membership for 12 more months past your current renewal date also just $35. You must stop in on December 6 to take advantage of this deal!

 

CHAIR MASSAGES:

Half of our slots are already full, so contact us now to see what's available. If you are getting a picture taken, we can coordinate those for you.

 

Even if you can just stop by for a cup of coffee before heading on to your other activities (We know you are busy!), we'd love to see you and catch up.

Next 2009 Parenting Series Class

An Appointment with Nature

Thursday, Decmeber 10, 6-8pm.

 

Based on the PBS documentary, "Where Do The Children Play?" this workshop may remind parents of their childhood play and how it compares with the present day play of their children. The film raises issues of the positive and negative aspects of technology and the media, over scheduling of children, safety of free play, and urban neighborhood play. Following the documentary, participants will explore ways that children can reconnect with the powerful effect that nature plays in understanding our world. This workshop is designed for parents to assist children of all ages. $25 per person. With Abby AND Betty Bordner.

See website for pricing and other details. We truly appreciate preregistrations, as there is a minimum attendance requirement to hold this class.
