Also those that attend can sign up to receive professional growth units.

Last night we had the first F.U.N. Board Meeting for the 2013-2014 term, and what a night it was! So many talented and smart women working together to make F.U.N. a great place for parents in the community. Everyone is very enthusiastic and has great ideas — it’s going to be a good year!

Local mom and baker Teresa of Sweetening q.b. donated a gift certificate for one of her cakes at our May Pampering event, and I was lucky enough to win it. I thought I would give back to the club and had a cake made for our Board kick off meeting. The cake was as delicious and it was pretty! If you are looking to have a custom cake made for an upcoming birthday or event, please look up Sweetening q.b.
