July 29, 2009 
Hi Waban Moms,
I want to thank you all for helping me to get the Waban Moms' Member spreadsheet up-to-date. I am incorporating all of the changes that you have sent to me and then I will resend the updated version when I am done. If you have not yet sent me your changes, there is still time. Just send an email with your information to wabanmoms@yahoo.com.
I want to mention that I have noticed a lot of new members recently with pre-school age children. This is really great! I thought that a nice way to facilitate you getting to know each other would be to set up an informal playing time at a local playground. So, if you are interested, come by the Lincoln Playground, which is in Waban on Moffat Rd (right near the corner of Moffat Rd. and Windsor Rd.) on Saturday, August 1st, from 9:30AM - 11:00AM. (Everyone is welcome to come by, regardless of the age of your kids!)  If there is interest, we can set up some on-going dates and times. Also, send me some feedback about dates and times that are of interest to you.
I hope that you are all enjoying this warm weather. See you all soon,
Robin

There are (5) announcements this week:

1. Announcing the Waban Library Center

The Waban Improvement Society is thrilled to announce the reopening of the Waban library as a privately run community center renamed the "Waban Library Center."  While maintaining and growing a wonderful collection of books to be made available to you during user-friendly hours (did someone say evening hours??), we are also expanding the mission of the library by offering a variety of classes to our community, beginning the week of September 21st.  

Take a look at our course offerings in the catalog (found at www.wabanimprovement.org) and register today -- we have talented and passionate instructors of yoga, creative writing, Mandarin Chinese, conversational Spanish, creative movement, hip hop, guitar, choreography, musical theater and much more!  All of our classes are described in the catalog and a registration form and instructions on how to register are at the back.  Classes are limited in size so please register before August 15th to ensure your space! If you have any questions about the classes, the schedule, instructors or otherwise, please email us at wabanlibrary@gmail.com.

The Waban Improvement Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We count on your support and tax deductible donations.  If you would like to make a contribution, please go to our web site (www.wabanimprovement.org) and donate online. 

Show your support!  Check us out and become a fan on Facebook -- look for the Waban Improvement Society - Waban Library Center!

2. Nanny Available

I absolutely adore my nanny, but with all 3 of my kids (ages 7, 4, and 2) in school in the fall, I will be reducing her hours.  She is looking for an additional 20-25 hours per week.   If you think you may need some help part-time as well, you can contact her at becka2632@gmail.com.  Her name is Becka Daverin...  She is excellent with the kids and she’ll help with laundry, bathing, driving, and meals for them.  If you’d like to talk to me as well, you can reach me at lisa@gersten.com

Thanks.
