MOPS March Events

Don't spend the month snuggled up, come join us for some inspiration ;) Spring really is coming...

March MOPS Meeting: Simplifying Home Organization

Thursday, March 8, from 9 am-11 am at Faith Evangelical Free Church

Please join us as we discuss some ways to keep hearth and home running a little bit more smoothly. We'll be hearing from our own Jennifer Thorson who blogs at http://www.thepurposefulmom.com/ in case you want to preview her expertise!

Our meeting will include break-out sessions at each table to generate and share tools and sympathy ;)

We look forward to a time of encouragement, as we look at how being purposeful in our homes gives us more time for our relationships with Christ, our husbands, and our children... and, maybe even a few minutes to savor a cup of coffee too!

Hope you're able to come!

Sunday, March 11, 2012



5:00pm until 7:30pm


American Indian Center,

We're excited to offer an Italian Cooking Class with Jeff Slivkoff. Jeff is a former bistro owner, who now shares his expertise on a smaller scale.

The class will be held on Sunday, March 11 from 5 pm-730 pm at the American Indian Student Services Building on the UND campus (address above).

The menu will include an appetizer, main dish, and dessert. Here is a sample:

Chef’s Tasting Menu | 11 March 2012

Pizza: Pizza Margherita, Pizza Napoli, another option possible

Bruschetta: Roasted Bread rubbed with Garlic and topped with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

Tiramisu Veloce: Classic Italian dessert Ladyfingers and Mascarpone Cheese

Caffe con crema: Espresso and Cream

The cost will be $25 per person if paid by 3/8 and will rise to $30 per person on 3/9. We need have a minimum of 7 paid RSVPs, and the class will be full at 20 people. The cost will cover both instruction and the delicious meal.

Please both RSVP by emailing me hunt16@msn.com (for our count), and send your check to Jeff Slivkoff at 501 Reeves Drive, Grand Forks, ND, 58201. If you want to plan to attend with friends, and mail several checks together, feel free ;)

If you have questions, please let us know.


Mondays at Splashers: Monday March 12 from 9:00 am-1:00 pm

Please join us at Splashers. They have offered us two cabanas, and have said food will be available for purchase, especially as lunch time nears.

As before, the cost is $6 per person 4 years and above. Under 4 are welcome, and free. If you have questions, please be in touch. To answer a previous question, husbands are welcome, if you are so lucky as to have one available to help you! ;)

The other dates will be:

April 16

May 14

The set up and cost will be the same each time, so if you can't come in March, perhaps another date will work for you.

Please feel free to share this invite with others. I'll post invites for future dates about two weeks out from each date.

Thanks!
