Dance Recital, Please Come!

Kreative Kids Dance Company will be having our recital on March 23rd at 6:30pm at 755 Woelfel Road. Brookfield, WI . We invite you to join us that night in support of these kids who have been practicing for months. Whether you are close to one of the dancers or not, they need a great supportive audience to cheer them on! The recital is free to the public so be sure to invite friends and neighbors.

In addition to the recital, information will be available regarding the summer dance workshops (possibly an adult class too) and fall dance classes. If you think you might be interested in those, be sure to come!

Lastly, I am looking for people (who are not the parents of the dancers) who would be willing to help with costume changes between the recital pieces. I'd prefer to let the parents stay in the audience so they can enjoy the show without running back and forth for costume changes. I also have a few other things that I could use help with, so if you'd be willing to help with anything just let me know.

Thanks so much! We hope to see you on March 23rd!

Summer Housing Help

Hi!

One of my friends from home, Matt, received an offer to do an internship in Milwaukee over the summer, but he's running into some housing issues. Here's what's going on...

I have an offer for an internship with GE Healthcare, which is based out of Milwaukee. They provide housing for their interns, but getting housing for my wife through GE is incredibly expensive. I was wondering if you knew of any cheap housing options among the members there. Are there any larger families with small apartments on their property available to rent for the two of us? Are there any young couples looking for a sublease for the summer? This is very short notice, and I have to give them an answer by Friday the 24th. The internship would be for 12 weeks this summer. Do you know of anyone who might be able to help me that I could contact? I really appreciate whatever assistance you're able to offer. Thanks!

If you could let me know who might be able to help, that'd be great! Thanks so much :)

Diaper Drive

The following is from Jenna Anderson, a sister in our ward:
I am putting together a diaper drive to donate to the Milwaukee Woman's Center. They serve woman and their children who are dealing with abuse, poverty, and mental health issues. I was wondering if you would be able to donate one box of diapers (or more if you want) of any size (newborn to pull-ups). I recently read that some mothers have to ration their diapers and only allow their child one diaper a day. Can you imagine? As far as I know there is no government assistance to get diapers. The government helps with food, health insurance and other things but not diapers.
Anyways, I will be taking the diapers down at the beginning of march so if you want to contribute I can come pick them up from you [or you can bring them to church and leave them in the relief society room]. Whatever is easiest. Please share this with whoever else you think would be willing/able to donate. Thanks so much!

Babysitting Help Needed

 

I got the following from a friend in the Parkway Ward.  Her husband just accepted a job in Texas and she is staying behind until the house sells.  If you are interested or know anyone who might be, please contact me – Linda – 414-435-1074, chaplinhome@gmail.com.

I'm looking for babysitters since Ryan will be gone a lot of the time these next few months. Do you know of anyone in your ward that babysits?  I would need someone who can drive, since if the kids are in bed I wouldn't be able to drive them home. I also would prefer someone who would be available on school nights. I know I'm sort of asking a lot here--but would love to know if you know of anyone!
I am also probably going to be looking for a couple to watch just our girls when I go out to look at houses (probably end of November or early December). JCPenney will pay for the babysitter to stay with our kids while we are gone.   I'm looking for someone who can watch them at our house, so probably someone with just one baby or kid or someone who doesn't yet have kids so as not to disrupt their lives too much. :
