Spring Hunt and Mother's Brunch

Hi everyone!

I hope you have all marked your calendars to join us for our Annual Spring Hunt at 10:30am and this year we are going to head to the West End Community center for our Mother's Brunch at 11am.

Please meet us by the playground by J.Pace and we'll start from there! Please bring a bag or basket or something to put the eggs into. If your kids don't want to keep the actual eggs, we will have a bag to collect them for next year!

If you can, and would like to, please bring something to share for the brunch. There will be some fruit and goodies there, but we love the personal touches of treats from the community!

Hope to see you all there!
Contact me for questions or if you can help us out! Westendparentsgroup@gmail.com.

Thanks!

From the Friends of Phillips Street Playground

The Friends of the Phillips Street Playground is again going to run a used book sale on Sunday, May 22, 2011 from 2:00 pm until 5:00 pm. 

The sale will take place in the Phillips Street Park (behind #19 Phillips Street on Beacon Hill). 

This year, the event will include the sale of used books for adults and children, DVD's of all types, CD's, Children's toys and a bake sale and lemonade stand run by some of the children in the community.  We will be posting fliers around the city and the event will be publicized in various papers and on-line. 

All proceeds from this sale will go to pay for children's programs that are taking place this spring and summer in the Phillips Street Park on Beacon Hill. 

We have many events scheduled including music programs, picnics in the park with various forms of entertainment, and the fall harvest festival, so we definitely need to raise some money to cover the costs of these events.  The purpose of this email is to make you aware of this event early so that you mark it on your calendar and attend and to suggest that you go through your books, dvd's, cd's and kids toys (clear the clutter out of your house) and donate them to this event. 

The drop off for your items is as follows:

Where:    Vilna Shul- located at #18 Phillips Street on Beacon Hill

Time:      10:30-5:00

Dates:     Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday May 3,4,5,10,11,12,17,18,19 and Sunday, May 8,115 and 22 (early)

If you are not able to drop off your items, please call me at

617-448-7490 and we will arrange to pick them up.

Making plans for April Vacation??

At the library yesterday she said they have a tutor available late afternoon/early evening for school aged kids to help with homework but because there is not a school nearby they often have no children. So the tutor will do small crafts and read to the preschool age kids when she is free from homework
