We believe that we can make a difference in the world. We focus on children's charities and causes and hope to instill a heart for giving in our own children.
So what do we want to do with this playgroup with a purpose?
Our goal is to have moms, dads and kids getting together each month for a playgroup, and to that group they will bring donations for whatever charity/cause we are collecting for that month.
We know we aren't going to be making a HUGE difference, but we believe that small steps lead to bigger things.
The group will have a few basic rules. These include keeping our charities non religious and non-political so no one feels uncomfortable due to different beliefs or faiths. The charity must benefit children. We plan to choose a local charity one month and then an international one the next...so on and so forth.
We'd love to see friends with children of all ages join in.
So our first playgroup will be...

Great idea! We'll come if we don't get invited to the Temple's annual gala. They're $100 tickets so we can only go if the organizers let us trade off set-up for tix. :) I have a bunch of baby supplies I can donate either way.
This is such a great idea! I'm jealous of all you guys living so close together. I'll be there in spirit.
I just found this... Is this only for people with kids already?

We are going to the Temple Gala, so we'll miss this one, but hopefully we'll see you Saturday at the ET cooking thing!
