Kid's NIght Mike schedule update

Some good news and some bad news! If you haven't heard, I had to have triple bypass surgery. It all went well, but i still have several weeks of recuperation left before i can resume Kid's Night! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Friday, October 2, 2015

Dear kids night families,
I am writing from my hospital bed as I await heart surgery early next week. Unfortunately, this means I have to cancel kid's night for a while. I thank you for your continued support and hope to be back soon...

Pirate party was a blast, now onto a Paint Night!

We had several new families join our group for this past Pirate Party, and I wish to welcome them!

In the middle of changing up the room, so be patient.
Also have aquired allergies for the first time ever, so if you hear me clearing my throat or coughing thats all it is!

We will be having a paint night next week (9/22)
Hope to see you all, and please, keep spreading the word! (Amazing how many people haven't heard of Kid's Night that would enjoy it!)
