Maskwa Offering Two Week February Day Camps

Hi everyone:
I'm so excited. We have worked out arrangements so Maskwa can offer a two week day camp service for parents/students during the upcoming February 2011 school break.

The camp is offered for students in grades 2 through 6 and will run from 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday, starting February 14-18 for week one and February 21-25 for the second week.

This has been lots of fun to organize. I have hired one main instructor who is very qualified to deal with multi-aged students. Her bio is attached to the registration form. We will also be hiring one more instructor. Our ratio is two instructors for a maximum of 30 students per week and we are providing hot healthy lunches thanks to our caterer Sweet and Savory Catering Limited.

The fun part is we are creating themed days at Maskwa. We will be having pirate days/scavenger hunts/ a magic day with The Amazing Mister J - Magician/Entertainer (www.misterj.ca), Mad Science will be popping by one week and we will be incorporating recreation-based activities like yoga, dance, badminton into our day programs.

So, jump the line and register your child or children today by visiting https://www.esourceevent.com/register/register.aspx?EventName=maskwa

Any questions don't hesitate to call me at 443-0178 ext: 221. I hope to see many familiar faces in February.

Maskwa Silent Auction at End of Jan for Spring Training

The wind is roaring here and I'm totally amazed no trees have fallen down at Maskwa. Thank you to the big person upstairs! I wanted to give everyone a head's up that a Maskwa Silent Auction event will be taking place the end of January to help raise money for our athletes to go their February/Spring training camp in Florida.

The event will take place Sunday, Jan. 30 from 2pm-6pm at Kokomo's Restaurant in Bayer's Lake Industrial Park. The restaurant is located at the corner where the Empire Theatre is located and the Bike shop. I've been told there are lots of great auction items including a complimentary night at the Quality Inn with continental breakfast. We are always looking for more silent auction donations so if you'd like to donate something to the club please email me at manager.maskwa@gmail.com so we can arrange drop off or pick up.

Also very soon I will be launching a website to highlight registration for our Maskwa upcoming day camps during the two week school break in February. Stay tuned for signs and more information on our web but basically we're creating themed days, included will be a magic show, a visit by Mad Scientist and much more. Every day will also have a recreational base included like yoga, badminton, or dance. This is sure to be lots of fun for children in grades 2 through 6. We will take a maximum of 30 children per week and have hired two qualified child care instructors to oversee the two week camps.

As for all the other stuff I'm trying to do - let's just say I'm busy. The need for a bookshelf so I can put my growing binders up would be welcome so fingers crossed someone will donate one - lol.

That's it for now folks.

AGM Tonight at 7pm at Club

I quickly wanted to remind Maskwa members that tonight is our annual general meeting starting at 7pm and it will probably last an hour or more. Drop by if you can.

Also the 1st Holiday Craft Market was a great success. We had about 60 walk through the facility and of course buy products from vendors. I am now broke-lol. I loved the variety of gifts and have to say that the bags that Prescott House created with the Maskwa logo are amazing. We might have an opportunity to sell these bags in the summer. Prescott House also made these amazing create your own Xmas bags, Xmas cards, and calendars. I took the Xmas bags and cards to my Sunday School class and the kids loved them - of course all the parents wanted to find out where I got them so I bragged about Maskwa and Prescott House.

Ideally, I would love to see something like a Farmer's Market take place in the summer. Hosting a Holiday Craft Market opened my eyes to the potential for this and all the vendors I talked to said to count them in.

Again, a huge thanks to the Maskwa members who popped in and bought gifts.
