(Above pics were from the Outdoor Movie at Cambridge City Hall earlier this month)

Hi All

Thanks to everyone that was willing to come up & say HI last Sunday. It was so nice to hear how all of you enjoy the info generated from this group.
I've also been told that City of Waterloo will keep us updated about upcoming events (as I didn't know about BIKEAPLOOSA or I would have let all of you know about it too)

Tomorrow night (THURSDAY)Waterloo Park is playing MONSTERS VS ALIENS(I saw that earlier this month at Cambridge City Hall)It's a really FUN FAMILY MOVIE

There will also be a movie THURSDAY at Cambridge City Hall- IRON MAN

They don't list the movies online, so I took a pic of the stand with the listing sign at the top of this posting.

This Sunday there is another family friendly festival at Victoria Park

http://linknewsmagazine.ca/Events/picnic_2009.htm
Also I've been told that Kids Eat Free certain nights at Ye's Sushi, but I don't remember which days (I'd suggest calling the restaraunts to ask 2 locations in KW)

Hi Lisa!
I was wondering if you would be able to send a blast through the stuff to do with your kids in Kitchener, for a contest that is now on for all moms!

The contest is being put on by morethanjustmom.com and Journey Healers.

All the moms who wish to enter, need to visit the above website, click on the contest page and fill out a short survey on what is holding them back from living their best life. The winner will be selected at the end of August and will receive 3 months of life coaching!
If you could send that out it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Catherine

Warnings from our group/ Blast

Hello everyone
the blast is farther down on this long post today. 1st off if you are not a member of our facebook group you did not receive the message I sent on Thursday & today. If feel all parents should be informed on Thursday I heard something on the radio that sickend me

I thought you all should know that a man tried to grab a 9 yr old

I hope they catch that sicko!
I just want you all to be aware & make sure your kids are safe

http://news.therecord.com/News/BreakingNews/article/566690

One of the group members sent this to me & asked that I pass it on

She said...
Here is a note that I posted in May regarding the same issue this is all over the place (These all happened within cambridge) Please pass it on


There have been 3 reports in the last month of a man trying to get little girls into there car
1. St. Peter's school 4 weeks ago a man in a red car tried to pick a girl up after school by offering her a ride home and wanting to know why she was alone. The girl ran away and told a notice by the school was sent out to all parents

2.Sat May 16th-A girl was chased behind Chalmer's St. school when she began screaming for help the man ran away.

3.Tues May 19th Hillcrest school 8:30 am a man in a car approached a girl walking alone to school and tried to force her into his car she got away and a notice from the school was sent out to all parents today from this school.

Since it was my own daughter who was chased on Sat May 16th I can give you a discription and from what I've heard today it is almost the same as what happened at Hillcrest school yesterday other then the clothes worn.

Tall man around 6 feet, white, longish hair (my daughter said like hockey hair), dark in colour, between the ages of 35-40.

Please take extra care to watch your children they are of course the most speical gift we have in life.

Thank-you to everyone who messaged me comments about yesterday's 2 messages (VERY IMPORTANT...)

I now have an additional one followed by the BLAST

Lisa: there was a fourth one as well. About a week after the one at Hillcrest, there was an attempted abduction near Hespeler Public. Feel free to pass this on as well. Tks for all you do! :)
