Fun Times, Great Food, Wonderful Friends. What Could Be Better?

My husband and I (and baby #4 in my belly) at Salad Supper last year.

When I first joined the LECPTA 4 years ago, I did it because I thought, “Well that’s just what good moms do.” I always had the stereotypical idea in my head that these were the moms that stayed at home, cooked 3 meals a day (really cooked, cereal doesn’t count), kept perfectly clean homes and spent every other second of their day interacting with their children. How did I- who believes that cereal is great for dinner-fit in with these people?

So I did a couple of the free tours to the fire and police station and went to the children’s parties. All of which were tons of fun, but I kept mostly to myself. Then I happened to be out by myself doing errands (really not sure how I managed that) and drove past the park where out front there was a sign for “LECPTA Salad Supper.” I remembered reading in the Scoop (our monthly newsletter) that this was their adult only “get to know you” social, which I had no intention of going to but I was hungry and salad sounded good on that hot summer day.

I hate to sound dramatic and say that it was a life-changing moment, but yeah, it was. I absolutely loved everyone there.  Not one person was perfect, which made them perfect to me. This was the most eclectic group of men (Yes-men are in the PTA too!) and women I have ever met. Everyone was friendly, having fun and eating good food.

With that said, I would like to invite you to this year’s LECPTA Salad Supper. It will be held at Lakewood Park’s Women’s Pavilion on Wednesday, August 17 at 6:30 p.m. You can join, renew, or just check us out and enjoy the great company, salad, and desserts. Please RSVP to Patty McLaughlin, our wonderful 1st VP organizing this event at pattym1282@gmail.com. 

If for some reason you cant make it but would still like to join or see what we are doing check out our website at lecpta.com or like us on facebook (Lakewood Early Childhood PTA). I hope to see you there!
