 Parents' Shopping Day!

Wouldn't it be nice to get some Christmas Shopping done without your kids? 


The CPA is sponsoring a "child-free" shopping day for parents on Sat. Dec 15th from 9am-4pm in the Parish Hall.  The cost is $15 per child, and the children will participate in making their lunch and will enjoy various activities and Christmas movies with experienced childcare workers.
