Mom's Night Inn In a message dated 1/5/2006 8:50:39 PM Central Standard Time, lisa_kovacs@... writes: Hey, great to hear from you. We're crazy busy here in Indiana trying to get the chapter up and running. Just wanted to share that we had our first annual Mom's Night Inn in November in a suburb west of Chicago. 26 people attended and from the feedback we received, everyone had a blast! We opened up with an introductory game-- everyone had two minutes to get to know a partner and introduce them to the group. We had an open discussion for an hour, then a break with ice cream sundaes. The best part was the massages, manicures and the crafts. The moms stayed overnight. The next day, we did a power point on " Raising a WASK, Well Adjusted Successful Kid " and a panel of adults. Each mom took home a gift bag filled with an inspirational book, lotion, soap and a manicure pack. Looking forward to doing this every year!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 just a suggestion, but you might be able to contact a few of the schools (the IN beauty college, has a nail tech program, and i think the IN business school has a massage therapy program) to see if the students would be willing to volunteer, or for a discounted price, (surely less than a professional nail tech or massage therapist) come to the meeting if you set this up. amanda Parentsofdeafhoh@... wrote: In a message dated 1/6/2006 7:51:03 P.M.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 It was a lot of fun! Of course I'm not sure which was more enjoyable; having an entire evening to induldge with other moms, or not having to share my bed at 3am with my 3 year old....lol I'm looking forward to it next year.

Three from a local spa donated their time and we paid them in tips.
