DIRECTORS MESSAGE:
It's been a long time coming and it's been a wonderful year of activities. Myself, Nicole Halpern- President,  Stephanie Quarles- Co Pres. as well as Noelle Gamber- Secertary, Megan Hunt- Community Outreach are stepping down from the LBPC leadership roles. We had a great time planning events and fun outings but it is time to shake things up a little bit and get a new crew in the leadership positions. The leadership positions are designed for a term of one year and it's our time to take a step back. We are still going to be involved and help out where we can but we have some fresh faces in the mix and are extremely excited. We would like to say thank you to everyone who has lent a hand and spent time planning activities for the LBPC. Thank you and it has been a wonderful year.

We are so excited introduce our new leadership. Please feel free to contact them if you would like to volunteer or just ask any questions. You can find their e-mails on the Big Tent LBPC member roster.

NEW PLAYGROUP COORDINATORS
Please take the time and sign up for your playgroup SUB-GROUP. We do it based on year your child was born. If you have a child that is born in 2009 then you would sign up for the 2009 playgroup sub group on Big Tent. This will ensure that you receive the correct e-mails for your playgroup. Stay in the loop  and go to a playgroup. You never know what kind of friends you will find for your kids or yourself.
Feel free to sign up for multiple groups if you like. You can choose to go to any playgroup you like. If your child was born in late 2011 then try out the 2012 playgroup, it might be a better fit.
Either way, attend a playgroup if you can. If you would like to host a playgroup at the park or your house please contact your playgroup coordinator. You can find their e-mails on the Big Tent LBPC roster.

Please welcome our new playgroup coordinators:
2012 Playgroup- Christa Henry
2011- Megan Wilson
2010- Jennifer Grzeskowiak
2009- Tiffany Frey
2008 and Older- Allison Sladeck

Families Helping Families-
Families helping families is a great program that the LBPC offers. If you have a newborn baby the LBPC will come delver a meal on us. Kami Marshall is the new FHF coordinator. If you are pregnant or know someone that is having a baby that is part of the club please contact Kami Marshall at kamibmarshall@gmail.com
The one thing we really need volunteers for is delivering the meals to the new parents. Please, Please, Please volunteer to help deliver a meal. It's so easy and very rewarding. If you would like to deliver a meal to a family that has just had a baby please contact Kami Marshall. 
The FHF is not just for new parents. If you have had your second, third, fourth or fifth baby(crazy) you can receive a meal too. Just contact Kami with your due date and we will send you a menu to choose from some amazing local restaurants.
