Easter Egg Hunt - Playgroup ** location correction**

There will be 2 egg hunts, 1 for kids 0-3 and 1 for kids 4, 5, 6+ years old.  If there aren't a lot of older kids, we will have just 1 large one.

There are prizes to be won!

PLEASE RSVP TO ASHLEIGH, OR COMMENT ON THIS POST SO THAT WE HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF HOW MANY KIDS WILL BE ATTENDING AND WE HAVE ENOUGH EGGS, ETC.  IF ANYONE IS WILLING TO DONATE A BAG OF EGGS AND/OR CANDY, PLEASE SEE ASHLEIGH.

Don't forget to bring easter baskets/bags!

Any tips or thoughts are welcome!

IMPORTANT MNO UPDATE

Unfortunately, MNO has been cancelled for this Friday, so no pole-dancing for us!

We look forward to resuming MNO next month.  Stay-tuned for details.

MNO - UPDATE

If you are interested in attending this Friday's Mom's Night Out, please decide by tomorrow night and RSVP.  If we do not have more people attending, we will have to cancel so that the people attending do not incur additional costs.  A large deposit was put down in order to reserve the instructors and location, so if we do not have enough moms attending, it will cost too much for those that have rsvp-ed.

Please let us know if you have any questions!  Deadline is Monday, 3/23.

Please see the previous post for details.

Please excuse the mess...

I got bored with the old background so decided to switch it up.  Then realized that the hot pink and black was just too hard to read.  So, I've decided on pink and baby blue.  For all our little boys and girls!

March for Babies!

Stroller Strides is putting together a team island-wide for the March of Dimes March for Babies on April 25th.  Here are the details (thanks Jamie!):

Debbie, Barb, Sarah and Jawea are hoping to get a commitment from at least 40 Strider-mamas to walk for this event, which is the March of Dimes largest fundraiser of the year.  We need everyone's help to reach this goal!

The walk begins at 7am at Kapiolani Park (2750 Monsarrat Ave., Honolulu).  It is 5 miles long, and will have great views and inspiring people.  The March of Dimes' mission is to champion the needs of moms and babies in our community and across the nation.  The money raised for the March for Babies will support lifesaving research, services, education and advocacy that helps all babies get a healthy start.

We are asking you to join this March for Babies to help the March of Dimes continue its work to ensure the health of all babies.

TO SIGN UP, GO TO:

Click on the link, then click the "Join This Team" button.

We at Stroller Strides are proud to support the March of Dimes as a team, but if you can't join as a walker, please sponsor the team with a donation.  You can donate at:

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL THERE!!
