Parent Cafe'

Some of you may be interested in this parent cafe'. It's a chance to spend some time with other parents you know and meet some new ones! I believe these are held around the nation, but I only have info on the one here in Central Illinois. It's on Cinco De Mayo! So go chat with parents and maybe have a margarita afterwards! Hah!
