Playgroup in West End? 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
Hi neighbors!

I was speaking with a friend of mine that lives in Westview last night at the Kindezi school neighborhood meeting, and we were talking about the possibility of getting some of the kids in the neighborhood together to play. This would be very low key, like a meeting at one of our local parks, to get some parents together and make new friends for our kids in the neighborhood. Is this something that anyone else would be interested in doing? It makes sense to start now that it's fall and we won't all die of heat exhaustion outside. I'm only trying to gauge if anyone would show up!

Thanks!

Mary and Frankie (2-year-old wild man)

I think we met on the Beltline ~3 weeks ago. We'd show up to a playgroup. I have a 22 month old.

We would be interested in participating in a playgroup. We have a three year old son.

Weekends? Weekdays? It'd be great to have a weekly time to meet at the playground. Tuesdays and Thursdays are best for me during the week, or we could try for Saturday mornings if that's better for most people.

I would also like to hold the local library branch accountable for weekly storytimes. Whenever we show up, they tell us they don't have anyone (a student from one of the universities was supposed to volunteer, but I guess it never panned out?) and we end up reading books about trains ourselves. I think that if families with toddlers and young children were interested and pushed for it, the library would provide this service. I know my kid loved the ones at the East Point branch when we lived there, and I'm always up for free things to do, especially in the winter when it's too cold to go to the park.

Hey,

I haven't been on the forum lately so I missed your post.

I love the idea. At our last Friends of the West End Park meeting we discussed incorporating 'Playgroups' as part of this years workplan. Evelyn Washington agreed to help coordinate next steps.

Our next meeting is on December 18th @ 7:30pm.

Also, check out our new blog: friendsofthewestendparkatl.wordpress.com/

There you'll find our meeting notes, dates for next meetings-n-activities, soon I'll post the agenda for our next mtg, info on the environment & eco-friendly/sustainable lifestyles, interesting links + more.

My email: yomaravelez@yahoo.com-feel free to email me for more info or to share ideas.

Take care,
Yomara

After the Holidays I'm going to set a time and contact everyone I know with kids and I'll expect all of y'all to come! Hopefully the weather will be nice in January lol or I'd even be willing to have it at my home if it meant some good play time. So keep watching this space for more information...I'll also cross-post on Facebook because I've met another mom in the 'hood that is on Facebook but not here who is also interested.
