WHAT and WHEN:
MLC is having a Planning Meeting THIS Friday, May 20th at 10 a.m.
This will be our 2nd attempt to hold a Planning Meeting. The first meeting (held last Friday) had a surprisingly low attendance, with only 2 people replying by email -as requested- that they could not attend. Roughly 1 member from each TEAM attended, with the Founding Members accounting for 1/2 of the attendance.
We realize that many of you are busy during this time of year or simply have little desire to help with the planning process of our co-op. Both situations are understandable and recognized as a hurdle to jump every spring/summer. However, we would like to be clear that in order for this co-op to run smoothly, the tasks of planning and execution should fall on every single member.
WHERE:
We will meet at the Dream Land Playground near the beach located in Lake Manawa State Park in Council Bluffs. Here is a link to Google maps for directions. Bring a blanket or lawn chairs, and a picnic lunch if you like. There are restrooms on site.

After we have settled in at the park, and the children are playing nicely with their friends, we would like to present each Team with a small packet of information to get you started. It's very well laid out and super easy to follow. Basically, fill in the blanks and your Team has officially 'planned' next year! There's nothing to it, it's fun to get the creative juices flowing and bounce ideas off of each other.
So, go ahead, create a Pinterest board, grab a notebook, and search the web for homeschooling co-op ideas and bring those ideas to the park!
Hope to see you all there!
