More Good news, a little help, and a few questions ..

Dear Kid's Night families, grab a cup of coffee and sit down for a good read (I think):

I had the chance to sit down with my district manager to get all the cards out on the table. I wanted to know whether Kid's Night was continue to be funded in light of the slow business overall lately at Papa Gino's as well as a rumor that someone had started about them not reimbursing me for supplies anymore.
I am happy to report that it was just a rumor, and that not only is Kid's Night going to continue, but none other than the new president of the company has heard about us and wants to see more of his stores do something like we do. (although , I think that after 20 years we have built something no one else could copy!

So I would like to thank the families that took the time to call and email and go on to the website to voice your opinions about Kid's Night. You definitely made a difference!

So we will continue to have  all the crafts, music, games and special nights that we have had in the past, and hopefully introduce new things as well. I am still redoing the back room, trying to find a set-up that works well for us, moving stuff, adding  and taking away as needed. When its all done, I hope to have a more efficient and easier environment to work and play in.

Now i need two things:
First, i am in need of another small rug like one i use for story time. That one has been reallocated to serving as a floor for "The Box" which we have been playing with now for the last year or so. (I get new ones when we fill up or wear out the current ones) So if you have one, around 5 x8 or so, something nice to sit on, please feel free to donate it.
Thanks in advance!

Second, while I see many of you every week or every other week, there are many, many more to whom I send emails, who have expressed an interest in Kid's Night, but I never see at Kid's Night. I know there are other things going on and it can be expensive on a weekly basis, but i have over 100 families on my list,and i see probably around 20 or so regularly. I am thankful for all of you, but if you don't need to be on the list anymore, just let me know, no questions asked. If you haven't been in a while, please, stop on by and see whats new. We miss you! And lastly, if you can, spread the word, LIKE and SHARE my kids Night Facebook page with people or groups that you know,. Its amazing how many people still come in and say "I never knew about this"! In order to keep Kid's Night funded, we need guests.

I have some important people who will be visiting us at Kid's Night over the next few weeks and months, including, at some time, the president (of Papa Gino's) himself. So it would really be nice if we had a steady and even growing crowd each week.

Thank you for you time,and for your help!
Sincerely, Kids Night Mike
