Saint Agnes Outreach would like to host our parish's Second Annual 4-day Vacation Bible School again this summer from June 29th - July 2nd, 6:00-8:00 pm. Thursday evening will conclude with an ice cream social for the parish, starting at 7:00 pm.  If you are interested in volunteering, or enrolling, please let us know ASAP. Both teens and adults are needed to help. The age ranges offered for attendees will be based on the availability of volunteers, starting with 4-7 year olds, and moving upwards in age as warranted. Last year, the program was well-received and appreciated by both parents and volunteers alike. Based on interest and volunteer responses, a final decision will be made on May 20th. Please help contribute to this great project for our parish by emailing Marianne Hudelson (Marianne.Hudelson [at] gmail.com), or clicking the INTEREST FORM here. Thank you!

This Tuesday, May 19th, we will meet at Robbins Farm Park (56 Eastern Ave., Arlington).  This park has a great hill, is good for kite flying, and a fun playground and sandbox. Please bring your own lunch or snack and join us!

**NOTE THAT our outdoor summer schedule is highly dependent on good weather. If the weather seems questionable, please check your email or the blog page before you leave for playgroup. In case of rain, playgroup will be cancelled for the day. Thanks!**
