Valentine's Party
This event was what you call a roaring success. We had 75 confirmed RSVPs and Meredith Douglas was brave enough to have them all at her house. :o) We decorated cookies, played Bingo, created Valentine's, colored puzzles, ate delicious food, & took fun photos like you see here. We also collected many needed items for Aurora House. Thank you to Emily Kuhn, Megan Ferris, Meagan Hudson, & Lauren Green for creating such a fun event.
New Members
Please welcome two new members to the club -- Stacy Ramirez & Mindy Kairis. See family photos below.
Stacey & family moved to the Village in 2012. Her son Manny is 16 years old & is a sophomore at St John's Jesuit High School & Academy. Her youngest son Andres also attends St John's Jesuit High school & Academy. He is in the sixth grade and loves baseball. Shelby is next in line and she attends Ottawa Hills Elementary. Shelby is in Mrs. Clayton's second grade class. Following in her sister's footsteps is Sylvia who also attends OHES. Sylvia is in Mrs. Keating's first grade class.
Mindy and Shawn Kairis, their almost 3 year old daughter Estella and another little one on the way, moved to Ottawa Hills in August 2013. They lived in Washington, DC for the last 10 years where they both worked for the U.S. Government. Mindy and Shawn are originally from Metro Detroit and wanted to move closer to their families, which is how they ended up here in Ottawa Hills. Mindy is an environmental attorney for Marathon Petroleum and Shawn is a SAHD. They absolutely love Ottawa Hills and really look forward to meeting more of their neighbors.
Directory Update
Our new members and babies have been updated in the directory. Version 3 is in your email in-boxes.
April Events
Egg Hunt - Our annual egg hunt will be on Sunday, April 13 at 1 pm. Stay tuned for an e-vite with all the details. If you would like to help, email me.
Green Bear Ball - For those moms not in the school system yet, OHSPA and the Boosters sponsor the Green Bear Ball on April 12 at the Valentine Theatre as a fundraiser for the schools. Ticket prices go up after March 15. Click on the link for all the details.
Summer Events
My goal is to have at least one child oriented and one adult oriented event throughout the summer months. Since we have several events happening in April, we are going to be moving our Wine Tasting to July. Mary Larkin & Rupali Chandlar are going to chair/host this event with the help of their committee. If anyone has any particular ideas for June, I'd love to hear them -- maybe a pool party, Moms Night Out, painting class, Copper Moon night, zoo trip, etc.
