Newsletter
March 21-27 Dear Mommy, I can't believe I am finally sending this newsletter....from our new website! Boy, this was a long road. Thanks to the overwhelming support of so many Los Angeles moms, Mommy Adventure Club continues to grow into something bigger than I ever imagined. I hope our website allows you to participate in Mommy Adventure Club even more, whether it's through attendance at one of our outings, leaving a comment or two on the website, or using the on-line resources for your own adventures! Have fun exploring the website, and please feel free to email us with any questions. We are still in the "soft launch" phase of our website. Excuse our dust while we continue to make final adjustments to the new site, including loading our articles and tips. I'm a bit loopy from sleep deprivation, so if something seems totally illogical...I promise, I'm going to fix it! If you have already PAID for membership, we will be loading your information into our system tonight. If you sent an email expressing interest, but still need to pay, click Membership in our Welcome menu to do so. Warmly, Carrie Founder and Mommy p.s. JOIN! Our offer for $27 membership is only going to be extended until the end of the month! $27 will pay for itself in just few adventures. To join, click on Membership in the Welcome menu or "Join" in the login box. Mommy Adventure Club Events Hike with Children's Nature Institute Saturday, March 28, 10:00am Step into spring!
