Shelly's Visit

While the Kansas weather failed to cooperate during Shelly Radic's, Interim CEO of MOPS International, visit mentors and donors were able to hear from Shelly and Dr. Liz Seltzer during an afternoon tea and many moms were able to meet Shelly at Mardel's Friday morning for the Book Signing. We were sorry to have to cancel the Community Event but of course, keeping our moms safe is priority one!

We are grateful for Shelly visit to our fine city and hope to welcome her again soon!

President's Day

I've been thinking today, in between laundry and wiping a little person's runny nose, about the great leaders that we honor on President's Day and it inspired me to share this quote - with thanks to my wonderful MOPS Mentor Mom that shared it with me:

"Do all the good you can

In all the ways you can

To all the people you can

In every place you can

At all the times that you can

With all the effort you can

As long as ever you can"

A little MOPS Bling

What mom doesn't need a little sparkle in her day? My local MOPS Group (Olathe Bible Church) found a wonderful vendor to make these rhinestone iron-on transfers. They were very easy to use and my shirt has been washed and dried many times over. I've seen these on t-shirts, hoodies and bags. The possibilities are endless! We worked with Jen of Just Jen www.justjen.com or 1-888-744-6379. Let her know you want to order the MOPS logo transfer that Marcia Valera set up!

What's your Big Idea?
