HELP PLEASE



I need help putting together some summertime activities for children and their families.

I live in a large apartment complex with a pool and club house and butt load of children. Some of these kiddos are latchkey kids and desperately in need of activities during the day. We also need things to do so we can get to know the people in our community. We are in Jefferson County and even though our people are extremely nice in public, they are just as extremely private at home. We have a lot of SAHMs and a good amount of elderly.

Armed with that information, what kind of activities do YOU think would be fun and/or informative??

Some of the ideas I have come up with so far are;

A Stitch & Bitch, Book Club, Air Hockey table & video games for the “tweens”, maybe a CPR-baby sitting certification class (but I need a certified teacher).

We are going to put out a monthly news letter and I need ideas for that also.

Like I want to add a freecycle section (giving away things we no longer need, one mans trash is another’s treasure), a classified section for services offered, neighborhood night out (block party), and I would also like to do Tupperware, Candle Lite, and {shhhhh} ADULT parties.

I would be more than happy to set these up for those of you who do parties.

So those are some of my ideas, do you have any??

What would YOU want to do in YOUR community??

TAYLOR HICKS!!

SOUL PATROL!!!!

Yes, I am so VERY happy that {finally} this season the person I like WON! Actually I had Taylor picked to win since his audition. I soulda bet money, huh?!

Another fave show- HOUSE.

Did you see Tuesdays show?? OMFG! Totally messed me up! John and I figured half way through that he was still in a coma and then he comes through the OR door at the end!! WOW!! AND, AND, AND.... Camron, on the table with House "demonstrating" how that machine worked- was that just SEXY as hell or what!!! ~~~drool~~~

Oh yeah, I think that man is YUMMMMMMY! Oh and I am so there when they find a drug that can make my mind reset and get rid of all this pain!! Hell, I will be a guinea pig for that!!

There is so much more to write about but I need to get ready for the doctor. Gonna have a visual field eye test this morning and the pressure checked in my eyes. This is a 5, yes, FIVE hour appointment. I am taking my crochet.

If the computer is free when I get home I will blog more.
