Making A Splash
Family Fun Day
The Lake Murray Moms and their families had a great time at Saluda Shoals Splash Park on Family Fun Day!  A special thanks to those Lake Murray Dads who helped with the grilling and to everyone who brought the yummy food.

Community Outreach
Palmetto Health Children's Hospital
The Lake Murray Moms went to Palmetto Health Children's Hospital to present the books we've donated and to tour the facility.  See the pictures below of our exciting trip to the hospital!

Summer Gymnastics
Sign Up Now for 8 Weeks of Tumbling Fun
Chapin Christian Gymnastics is a wonderful facility, and sign-ups are taking place now for our special Lake Murray Mom gymnastic classes.  Summer sessions will start the first Thursday in Jun and run for 8 weeks (no class July 4th week).  Classes will meet from 10:15-11:15 am.  For those of you who plan to participate in these sessions, please fill out the attached form and bring it with your check ($40 per child made payable to "Chapin Christian Gymnastics") to the May meeting. 

Playdate Hosts are Needed

The LMMs are looking for some volunteers that would like to host playdates (at their home) for the month of May. We would like to have at least 2 volunteers that would like to host at the end of May, hopefully by that time we can have some swim-time playdates like we did last year. Our goal is to have a playdate each week, just like last year. If you have any questions or would like to set up a date at your house, please contact Mandi.

Usborne Book Drive
Books to go to Richland's new Pediatric Hospital
The results are in, and the Lake Murray Moms will be donating about $730 worth of books to Richland's pediatric hospital!  That includes $410 earned in FREE books and $320 worth of books purchased by the LMMs for the hospital!  The free books earned will be donated "In Memory" of Brent Stanberry and Annabelle Butcher or "In Honor Of" a special child in your life. 

Easter Egg Hunt
The kids had an amazing time at our annual Easter egg hunt.  The weather was perfect for some outdoor fun, and everyone had a blast searching for eggs!

Red Nose Run
2008 had a great start as a group of Lake Murray Moms participated in January's Red Nose Run to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Columbia, with two moms placing tops in their age categories.  Way to go moms!
