Hello Ladies~
A few things:
1. I failed to put the following information on Michele Saldana's baby shower invitation--here are some of her needs:
Pampers
Pamper wipes for sensitive skin.
Avent nipples.
baby shampoo
sleepers.
prayers
2. Regarding the book for our study: my sister does have a connection to get the books for us. However, it is more cost effective for us to order them through amazon.com. I am so sorry for the delay on getting this together. If we all place our order together, we will get free shipping. The cost is $11.19 + tax. Let me know if you would like to be in on this order.
3. Finally, it is not too late to sign up for our get-together/shower for Michele. If you were need to sign up for food, you can do so this Saturday or contact Emily Carlton @ keith.carlton@sbcglobal.net
Have a great week!
Kristin

New Men's Group--Info From Adam
Kelly ABF Men:
This email is perhaps arriving later than expected, but I lost the list I passed around for a while. I found it today underneath my couch--the search from which this resulted was intense.
Nevertheless, we have about 10 guys expressing interest. Unfortunately, since we carry such a diversity in schedules, there is not a single day where everyone can meet together, in fact, no day looks real advantageous. Because of this, and due to my now solidified class schedule, we will hold the first meeting on Thursday, Oct. 9th, from 8-10pm, and we will probably be meeting on Thursday nights in general (as long as we get a committed group of at least five people). I apologize to any who find this disappointing, but don't take it personally -- except for Craig, he can take it personally ;) Further, do not worry, there will be another 12-week session offered in the future.
At this meeting we will discuss what times work best, whether 6-8, 7-9, 8-10, 9-11, whatever. So get home from work, eat dinner with your families, pamper your wives (if applicable), put your kids to bed (if applicable), pick up your houses (definitely applicable), and then get into your cars and drive to my house--ask Adam or Craig for directions.
Remember, this first meeting reflects no commitment to the 12 weeks; rather, it is just an informational meeting on what the 12 week boot camp will entail. Fair enough? Sounds like a time share…but don't worry.
I only need one thing from you, and that is a confirmation about this Thursday, Oct. 9th, either way. If I do not have enough "yes, I can come" responses, we will take a step back and re-evaluate.
Sincerely, Adam (the long-haired guy of whom Craig always makes fun, I think because of his jealousy of my Schwartznegger-like build)
PS If you want, when you confirm, you can additionally include the reason you believe Craig always makes fun of me in class. We will then vote on the best ones come Thursday. To the winner I will hand over my somewhat disputed and non-existant ping-pong trophy.

Thank you to all of the ladies who came to our fall kick-off last night. I am sure the Lord has a lot of exciting things in store for us as we get to know each other and serve Him together.
For those of you who were unable to come, here is a re-cap of the night:
~Our bulletin board is under construction! Please provide a family snapshot in sepia tone in the next few weeks. Alicia has offered to print your picture or take it this Saturday if you need a family shot.
~This year's Christmas party will be a family/service event. We will shop/prepare/wrap shoe boxes for Mexico, have a breakfast meal and do some fun holiday activities together! Date and time coming soon!
~Ladies to begin a once-a-month book study of Grown-up Girlfriends by Erin Smalley & Carrie Oliver. We will meet once a month for light refreshments and discussion. October will be hosted by Emily Carlton and will also be a baby shower for Michele Saldana. Don't purchase your book yet, we are checking out options to buy in bulk.
