Adopt-A-Family is going strong!!! Thank you to all the mommies who attended Charity Bunco, donated money or other items to our Adopt-A-Family! Brandi has been working very hard to coordinate this and has been doing an awesome job at making sure this family has a wonderful holiday season.
So again, thank you Brandi and thank you to all of those supporting this effort!
Charity Bunco! Charity Bunco! Come join us for this fun filled event, and help a wonderful cause!! All proceeds will go towards adopting a family this Holiday Season. Don't know how to play Bunco? We'll teach you! :)

Stressed Much?? You need to get out! Oh, and for those of us who feel the need to justify our Mommie time....it's for charity! Friday December 4th is Charity Bunco--whether you've been or not, now is the time to get involved! For a mere $5 entry fee, you will receive over an hour of relaxation, support from other Mommies, laughter, glee, the release of endorphins, and new skills....Now, in case you've never participated in Bunco...it's a simple dice game that you will quickly find yourself addicted to! December's Charity Bunco game will benefit FresnoMommies' Christmas family. We'll be using all proceeds to purchase gifts for our family, assigned to us via The Salvation Army. PM Brandi (brandigurl) for details.
Oh, and if you're ready to really get in the spirit, FM's Holiday Party is scheduled for Saturday, December 5th, 1-4pm. Details to follow, check the calendar!
So...how many Mamas have you referred to FresnoMommies? How many have actually engaged? Now is the time! Let's bring those new members in, now while we're all stressed over the holiday season, now is the time we need to lean on each other and realize that not a single one of us is perfect ;-)
Happy Thanksgiving Mommies, and thoughts, prayers, blessings to you all, as well as your friends and families. Thank you, thank you, Thank you, for being part of our family.

There's still time!! To squeeze in an event or three for November that is! Last Saturday's Come As You Are Coffee was a smash, we had some new members, some potential recruits, and some seasoned Mommies. Thanks for making that morning such a relaxing moment!
Don't forget, Friday 11/20 is FresnoMommies' Holiday Extravaganza! Take a trip to Ursila's new home for a chance to pick up some great holiday gifts for others...or for you! Vendors will include Pampered Chef, Tupperware, Partylite, Gold Canyon, custom crafts, cookies, baked goods, and so much more! Bring a friend or 2, this event is open to the public. PM Moonbaby or Ursila for directions, and come help support FresnoMommies while getting ahead on holiday shopping!
New Mom? New to Fresno? Just want to get out? Then join us! Before the hectic holidays arrive, why not take time out to meet up with other local moms for a little something not in the daily routine? Check out the calendar for events, and don't forget to RSVP! Our third birthday bash was a huge success, and brought in newer members as well as those of us that are a bit more..."seasoned." No need to be nervous, we don't bite, and would really love to meet more of our members in person. So what are you waiting for??? In just the next week or so we've got:
Thursday 10/22 Pumpkin Patch trip! Cobb's Ranch 6p.m. $5 covers all activities, including the Corn Maze, Hayride, and Petting Zoo. Pumpkins are extra, dress in layers!
Friday 10/23 Bunco! Pattie's house 6:30p.m. Theme is Halloween costume, so break out the witch's hat, cat ears, and rubber masks! Bunco is a simple dice game played in teams, and easily learned in minutes. PM Pattie (sassymomma) for directions. This is a mom's only event, sorry, no children.
Saturday 10/24 Move It! Dig It! Do It! The Science of Machines 11a.m. The Discovery Center, Winery/McKinley. $5 per person, kids 2 and under free. Learn how machines do what they do, a great hands-on exhibit for everyone!

Show and time to be announced when schedules for that day are released. Coffee and dessert after the show are optional, come get out for economical adult time and meet some new friends!
