What Is MOPS? Facebook Event

On August 18th we are going to host an Online Facebook Event to promote our group.
Over the past few years, almost all of our moms have heard about our group through two ways: Word-of-Mouth and Facebook.

Also in the past we have had many ladies contact us about our group, but have yet to attend a meeting because they still seem uneasy about putting themselves out there or are still unclear about what it's all about.

We will be able to share all sorts of great info and “party” online with these women. They will be able to take their time reading and learning about MOPS from the comfort of their own home.

We will invite everyone from our group (I was unable to add everyone... only "friends" so please join and add those who I could not reach). I also encourage you to invite all their mommy friends.

We will continue to post about it on our public Facebook page but we need your help by sharing the event on your own personal wall, in other local groups that apply to moms....it's the key to this!!! Basically anywhere we could to reach the moms in our area! Even if they were not a mother of little ones, we encouraged them to share.

Now it's your turn.... invite and share away! The more moms that get invited, see the event, know about it and hear about it, the better!!!

The event is linked through our Public Facebook page.

The schedule is posted below but please look to the Facebook page and the blog for more information as it becomes available. 

Please remember that anyone is welcome to the summer play dates. They do not need to be a Crossroads MOPS member; encourage your friends to come along!
