Many thanks to all who could contribute and personally help children of the Wilkow flooded school. Proceeds of the charity summer bazaars in 2010 and 2009 were also used for this purpose. If any of you would be interested in providing further support to the flood victims in Wilkow later this year and in 2011 please contact Charity Coordinator.

NEW! We are happy to inform you that Hula Kula has opened its doors to us once again. Feel invited to come to Hula Kula on Tuesday (Sept. 14) and Friday at 10 am to 12 pm (and many more Tuesdays and Fridays from then on). The price stays the same - 14zl! As we also had some members interested in organizing a playgroup in the afternoon, we would like to invite you to Kinderplaneta at Złote Tarasy (3rd floor, opposite to McDonalds) on Tuesdays from 4pm to 6pm. That day they have a special and we pay 13zl for as much time as we want to spend there. However, this place does not close down for us, so our group is not going to be the only one there. Children under 2 years old get in for free. If you need other details please contact Indoor Playgrounds Coordinator Marta Troicki.

Mums and Tots has gone high-tech and are now on Facebook! Search for the Mums and Tots Warsaw group and join for another way to connect with your fellow mums and dads in Warsaw, make recommendations, chat, etc. Look forward to seeing you online!

It was noted that although many mums RSVP before attending hosted activities, not all mums are in this habit. However, it is only fair to the busy mums that spend their time and effort hosting that we give them an idea how many people they should prepare for, be it 20 or just 2.
So: Please try your utmost to RSVP to your host at least two days before the day your activity is being held by phone, email, or SMS (check the schedule online if you’re not sure who is hosting). To the hosts: it is more than welcome to give some kind of reply as confirmation (e-mail, sms) to your coming guests. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

REMOVAL OF TOPICS In order to keep our classifieds up to date, topics or posts are removed after 45 days. If you find that your post is still current (i.e. you still need to sell something or need a housekeeper, nanny), please repost your advertisement or request.

HOSTING

Mums and Tots is nothing without mums willing to volunteer as hosts. Especially for newcomers, this is an excellent way to meet new mums and for your children to make new friends. Please keep in mind that hosts are always needed for future groups. If interested in hosting, please contact the group organizer so we may add you to the schedule.
