Spring Registration is here!

Can it truly already be December?  With the change in weather, and complete downpour this weekend, it's much easier to say "yes" than it would have been a few weeks ago with 70 degree weather in California!

December also means Spring registration for Creekside MOPS is here!

Please save the attached form, and email it back to our fearless leaders (creeksidemops@gmail.com). 

Remember, your child care spots are confirmed upon payment, so don't wait! Have a great week and we'll see you at the Christmas meeting on the 14th.
