FIELD TRIPS

PLEASE NOTE!!!!!

Because of the large number of people to manage for field trips, it is usually most convenient to use email for sign ups.  You may certainly call to sign up but all announcements will go out via email.
 
Either Michele or Sheri will send out an email announcing the field trip, giving details, and asking for RSVP to one of their email addresses.  We will always list a date for RSVP and we will indicate whether or not the field trip is open to ONLY Charity LEAH, or to family and friends as well.  PLEASE always double check that you RSVP to the correct email address.
 
Scheduling:  We have attempted to secure as many dates as possible, but there are always changes through the year so ALWAYS check the email for updated information on dates/days/times of all field trips.
 
You will see in the list to the right, there are field trips that are highlighted in yellow - those are the CONFIRMED field trips.  The others are all tentatively scheduled but will most likely occur.  Any field trips at the bottom highlighted in green are alternate ones, or ones that we are waiting on more information before we can confirm.
 
Suggesting and/or Scheduling Trips:  We appreciate any and all suggestions, but we may not be able to make them all happen.  We will do our best to fit in your suggestions if not this year, maybe next year.  And, if you would like to schedule and coordinate a field trip, we are totally open to that.  Please don't feel that you can not organize a trip just because Charity has "field trip coordinators."  We just ask that you try to be careful with the dates and times that you would try to organize a trip so that there aren't conflicts.

SUMMER PLAYGROUND DATES
We are going to be doing the Playground Playdates again this summer!!!

Each week we will be going to a different park throughout the summer to get together for the kids to play and the mom's(and/or dad's) to fellowship.  We usually bring a picnic lunch and are there for a while, but it's up to you how long you can stay.  There is no sign up, just show up at the park that is designated for the week.  Also they may not be on the same day each week, I usually wait to see what the weather will be like and pick a day that isn't raining or way too hot.

Next Playground Playdate:

Tues, July 27th    11am til ??
Camp Eastman Spray Park

The spray park is the last entrance of the parks going towards Charlotte on Lakeshore Blvd.  It is across from the beach and has an entrance sign that says Camp Eastman.  Just follow the road to the parking lot by the lodge for the spray park.

 Come and cool off in the spray park, looks right now to be another hot one!   No need to sign up, just show up.  Bring your lunch or come after lunch.  Adult conversation and fun for the kids.

I will not be able to be there, but I wanted to make sure everyone still had a day to get together.  The consensus this past week was to do Durand next week, so here you go!
I will be at the one the following week after we get back from PA.

Any questions please call Michele Boyer (585)705-1922
