Play Dates!

One of the activities we would like to start hosting is a children's play date! Play dates are a great way for parents to meet other parents, and for kids to make new friends. They are especially useful in combating the loneliness and isolation that is often felt during deployments, and helps build strong networks of friendship and support among those going through the same thing.

To help us plan for and set up a play date, we need to know who would be interested in attending. If you have any additional questions or are interested in hosting a play date, let us know via email (vipersfrg@gmail.com),  Facebook (Viper's FRG), or blog comment. Additionally, let us know what days and times you think would work best for this type of event. 

While on the topic of children and play dates, here is a great resource for kid friendly activities. The Website includes easy to do games, great printable activities, and yummy, healthy snacks for the little ones! http://familyfun.go.com/
