SLMOT Booth at the Safe Kids Fair, February 2010

We had a huge response from our members to our call to help staff our booth at the Safe Kids Fair. Thank you so much! We had a great time meeting families with twins and getting to know each other.

This was the big hit of the weekend, proud dad Robert with twins:

SLMOT January 2010 Play Group

We had a great turn-out for our January play group!

Those that were brave enough started out at the park for a wintery park day. Hot chocolate was served.

Then, we headed over to a pizza place for some pizza. There were about 40 people in all. Wow!!

We have the greatest moms on the planet in our club!

Big brother and sisters:

And here are their little brothers, plus mom and dad:

Thanks for coming!!

Join us on February 9th for a Valentine-themed play group, 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. More details will be posted shortly!

SLMOT December 2009 Play Group

Enjoy some pictures from the SLMOT play group last month. We had originally planned to visit the elves at Gardner Village, but the weather didn't cooperate (15 degrees outside!!). So we made a last-minute change to Dino Towne Play Area at South Towne Center.

Please join us for the January play group on Tuesday, January 12th. Check out the calendar for details!

Super Sale

We know how expensive it is to buy new for multiples or singletons—especially when they outgrow things long before they are worn out! The sale provides our members and the Salt Lake community with a great opportunity to pick up gently-used clothing, toys, equipment, supplies and furniture. It also provides an avenue for selling your children’s outgrown items, clearing out your storage spaces, and earning some cash!

Our next Super Sale will be held Saturday, May 15, 2010 in the parking lot of Ream’s Food Store at 8725 Highland Drive in Sandy.

The sale is open to MEMBERS ONLY from 8:00am until 8:30am, and then opens to the PUBLIC at 8:30am. The sale ends at 12:00pm.

Our Semi-Annual Super Sales are SLMOT’s biggest fundraisers. SLMOT provides all the advertising, reserves the location, and handles all financial transactions and in return receives 10% of the proceeds from each item sold at the Super Sales. Non-members interested in selling at one of our Super Sales must pre-register and pay a $5.00 fee. We accept cash only – no credit cards. Personal checks will only be accepted from club members.
