November Moms Meeting

As of September 16th, 63 moms have signed up for an event. You will have until the end of September to sign up for your event. After that time, we will open it up to all moms to sign up for multiple events if they chose (remember only one meeting credit).

• Yoga - There is still plenty of room for moms to attend on November 12th
• MudLeaf Coffee Shop - November 19th. Come join us in making goody bags to be handed out to the residents of the Plano Community Home during the upcoming caroling event.
• Painting with a Twist on November 12th has been canceled.
• Wine and Board - There is still more room! Please be sure to indicate your design number and board size in the comments of your signup. This will determine your final amount due. Everyone is to pay $40 through the YMSL calendar and will need to be prepared to pay the additional cost (as indicated on our event description) at the event.

Documenting our time with YSML is extremely important!. We need your help! Please take pictures at any of the events you attend throughout the year and UPLOAD them onto the YMSL website. This could be volunteer opportunities, boy meetings, mom meetings, and special events. Organizing the photos will also help your class when it's time for the Senior Slideshow!

NOTE: High resolution pictures from your camera or phone are much better quality than photos pulled off of Facebook!!
