MOPS of Naples

Our next MOPS meeting on Feb 1 will treat us to the Nordstrom’s Experience!  Their Intimates Manager, Shana, will be joining our meeting this week to help us get a better understanding of a proper bra fit and how proper undergarments can give us back that pre-baby body.  She will bring her sizing equipment with her and if you want to find out your proper fit, our meeting will be a great opportunity to sans kids (You know its always so challenging to go shopping with them!)

We will also be doing a clothing swap and all donations and leftover clothes will be delivered to the local Abused Women and Children shelter.  We are also taking up donations of body products and toys.

If you live in the Naples, South Naples, or North Naples/Lee County zip codes, please bring a dish to share.  Hope to see everyone there!

Boy, its been a long time since we posted on our site.  Sorry!  Seems like we mostly stick to sending emails (mopsofnaples@gmail.com) and posting events on Facebook (MOPS Naples).  We do have lots of great meeting for 2012 and we hope you can join us.  Check out the Spring Schedule link for more information on upcoming speakers and activities.  We do promise to be more diligent with keeping our website up-to-date too, especially now that the Holiday season is behind us

What makes spending the evening at Charming Charlies even better… shopping there with a bracelet that gets you 20% off.  How do you get one????  Well, join us this Thursday, November 17th from 6:30-8:30pm as MOPS hosts a shopping event at this amazing store.  Invite your mom, sis, bff, coworker, etc- all are welcome.  There will be a sign in sheet in the back and the attendant there will give you your bracelet.  The store is also providing light refreshments.  It is an event not to be missed!!!

Hey ladies, our next meeting will be Wednesday, Nov 16th and Cpl Erickson of the Collier County Sheriff’s Office will be back to give us some tips on keeping safe this holiday season.  We will be making Cookies in a Jar (great gift) and Thankful Turkey booklets (Keepsake for the Kids).  If you live in the Estates or Golden Gate city area, then please bring a dish to share!  Hope to see you there!!!

Below is an article on the Swamp Buggy Races, in case you have no clue what it is all about. MOPS of Naples will be setting up our chairs and towels between S. Golf Drive and 7th Ave N.  Come join us at 10am for a uniquely fun time!

Our Pasta Dinner fundraiser is coming up this month, Friday, October 14th to be exact.  This is our big fundraiser of the year and it has great potential, but we need your help.  We need to sell all 200 tickets.  They are $5 per person, 2 and under are free (but will still get a ticket).  We will be selling them at this week’s meeting and if we each were able to invite 10 people, we would sell out quick.  There is a  facebook event posted on our MOPS Naples page and you are welcome to share it with others.  There are raffles available too (Hotel stays, Restaurant Gift Cards, and More).  All monies raised help offset our operational costs, such as babysitting ($240 per meeting) and scholarships.
