The MOMS Club of Forest Lake invites you to participate in our Second Annual Preschool Expo. This community event will be held at Faith Lutheran Church in Forest Lake on Monday, January 9, 2012, from 5:30pm to 8pm.

The goal of this fun event is to provide parents of preschool children with a great place to be introduced to educational opportunities, activities, and services in Forest Lake and the surrounding area. We believe this is an excellent opportunity for businesses to have a unique exposure to local parents. This event will be free and open to the public; however we are asking that attendees consider donating items for the local food shelf. Collection boxes will be provided and all items donated will be delivered to this very worthy organization.

Space at this event can be reserved for $30. Your registration will provide you with a space at the event and include your organization/business in the event brochure. Tables and outlets will be provided for an additional fee of $5/table and $5/outlet. Please note that tables and outlets are limited and will be on a first paid/first served basis. Additional event information will be provided following your confirmed registration. Please send your completed registration form by December 15, 2011 to be included in the event brochure. Late applications will be accepted through January 2nd, 2012 for inclusion in the expo, but not in the advertisement or brochure of the event.

We are asking local businesses to consider donating products or services to our organization for inclusion in “goody bags” that the public will receive upon entering the door. These bags are intended to provide an extra level of excitement to the attendees, as well as encouraging attendees to patronize local businesses. The contents of the bags will be randomized; we do not require items for each bag from every business. Items that you could consider donating could consist of free passes to your business, gift cards, “buy one get one” coupons, etc. We encourage you to consider donating items that will increase your business’ awareness and patronage.

Any questions or concerns can be directed to Jody Ryan of MOMS Club, at (651) xxx-xxxx or jodyryan3@frontiernet.net. MOMS Club of Forest Lake is a group offering activities and community involvement for stay-at-home mothers and their children. We are a chapter of International MOMS Club and a non-profit organization. Please review the enclosed MOMS Club brochure to learn more about our group.

Sincerely,
