NEW! MUMS AND TOTS ANNUAL SUMMER BAZAAR/YARD SALE AND BAKE SALE
Saturday, June 6th, 10am- 1 pm

Thank you to all those who came out to the Summer Bazaar on Saturday. Despite our fears (or perhaps because we were prepared for rain), it was a beautiful sunny day and while parents were finding bargains amongst the items for sale, the children played with the wonderful toys at Szczęśliwe Misie (if you’d like more information about the pre-school you can check out their website at www.szczesliwemisie.pl).

Special thanks to Ardel Liu and Alia Radford for their help: Ardel found the great location and provided all the juice, water and snacks for kids, and Alia assisted with the location and spent her day selling items for the Pacanów Orphanage.

A big thank you to all those who donated their tasty baking, we raised 398 PLN for charity through our bake sale, and thanks also to all those who purchased items from Alia. She raised 380 PLN which will be put towards CDs/DVDs/Videos for the children at the orphanage with their favourite movies, cartoons and music.
NEW! 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!
NEW! At Mums and Tots Annual General Meeting 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!
NEW! Unfortunately Hula Kula can't host us as during the holiday period (June to September) there are too many school-group bookings to make it possible for Mums & Tots to have a 10am -12 group even once a week.
Monday Mum, Baby & Toddler Group On Monday 4th May we meet at Dreszera Park situated on the corner of Odyńca & Puławska, which has a small, fenced playground with a soft ground, swings, locomotive, etc. "Café Zielnik" is next to the playground.

Music and Movement class for 2-3 year olds started on Monday, May 4, at 11.00. All those interested can attend this first "trial" lesson (just show up). The price for 10 lessons is 300zl (from May 4 to 6 July, i.e. for 10 lessons). It includes a 45 minute lesson, plus 45 minutes of supervised play time (11-12.30). Mums can drop their children off or stay. The sessions will be conducted in English and Polish by a specialist teacher (psychologist/specialist in music therapy). Please contact Amo directly for more information: www.amo.edu.pl, tel. (22) 245 29 77, tel. 600 76 00 92 ul. Kwiatowa 28 flat 2 (in Mokotów, off ul. Madalińskiego, between ul.

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.
