Greetings!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Even with financial challenges this year I have much to be thankful for and enjoy this holiday that helps bring me back to who I am (a person blessed with so many friends, a wonderful family and the opportunity to affect babies and children's lives through creative communication.

Yours,

Tina C.

Meetup Group for Little Signers

(First meeting this week!)

 

Baby SignsŪ Meetup Group - Austin

  

This group is a way for families with babies or toddlers to enjoy a play date with other families interested in their little ones knowing signs. A Certified Baby SignsŪ Instructor will always be there to answer any questions and lead the group in fun signing activities and themes. Meetings will be twice monthly all over Austin so everyone has a chance to attend as many or as few meetings as they want. Join now and RSVP for the 1st meetup. You can decide later if you want to attend enough meetings to pay the membership dues ($10/yr.) but joining ensures you'll get emails for upcoming meetups.

 

This is a good place to get discounts on classes and Baby SignsŪ products like the Potty Training Kit, etc.

 

The first meetup will be at 

Book People (603 N. Lamar)

Wednesday, November 28th at 1:00 p.m. 

Book People is centrally located so hopefully you can come and get an idea of how helpful it is to meet other families with signing children.
