Hello B.!!!
Lucky you, I am one of the people who develop the monthly activities calendar for MOMS Club of Lees Summit.
Some ideas that I have directly off the top of my head are:
*1st Friday of every month: Xtreme Gymnastics has a Toddler Open Gym from 10:00 to noon for a fee.
* GAGE gymnastics has the same things but I cannot remember the days/times. It runs on 2 different days for 1 hour.
* Paradise Park: Moms get in free on Mondays and they also have coupons on their website
* Tunnel Voyage: Discount prices M-F from 10:00-1:00
* Toddler Town-Roger T. Sermon Center-Independence--- at least every WED, maybe on Mondays and Fridays too. Cost $1
Those are just a few. Like I said, I am one of the people who develop the activities for MOMS Club. We usually offer at least 3-4 activities per week to choose from. (We offer free and 'for a fee' actvities and try to mix them up) It is always FUN to go new places and with other Moms and chidren!!!
I got involved with MOMS Club of Lee's Summit when my son was 8 mths old. He is now 3. We stay so busy and have made a lot of friends for both he & I. I am so glad we got involved with other stay at home families!! Here is some info I copied and pasted from an email I sent not long ago:
The website is www.momsclub.org. That is the International site where you can read about the group as a whole. Then you can click on chapters and check out the Lee's Summit site too. There is a place you can inquire about membership etc if you so desire.
Like I said before, it is a GREAT resource for going out and doing things!!! That is where his Friday playgroup was formed through--LS Moms Club Members. Also, we have an email loop where you can email to one address and it goes to all members. It is nice for asking for advice, Dr. referrals, telling about garage sales etc. It is a nice way to reach a large group of Moms. One thing I do is send out safety recalls when I get them.
We also have Moms Night Out every month, MOMS breakfast once a month, and all sorts of child/mom stuff. We do holiday events like for instance, we are having a V-Day Pizza Party and they will exchange Valentines. We have a monthly calendar of fun events out to everyone before the month starts but also email Evites to each event. Then people can RSVP and others can check to see who else is going. We have all others numbers so if you check and only one other mom is going, you can call to make sure she will be there if that might change your plans to go or not. Check it out--we have fun.
Good Luck B.! (And all the other Moms looking for the same info)
