Be You, Bravely Drinkware

They Have Arrived! Be You, Bravely Drinkware! 



They come in these straw with lid versions, as seen above ($12.00), or you can order a tevis-like version (with the tevis-like lid - $14.00). Simply click on this Square link, or the Square link on the side bar,  to place your order. They are made to order, taking 7-10 business days to arrive. 


Our Arts & Crafts Steering Team member, Jennifer, will also have some to sell at the meeting. It’s first come, first serve, but she will order more for the next meeting. So if you would rather use cash or check, please see her :) 



* Please note that the Square links were provide here are directly to our Mt. Ararat MOPS Store Front. Here is how it works...  In the virtual world of the world wide web, there are many “virtual” store fronts for various business, etc. So as you are strolling along all the shops at the Square "virtual super mall", you need to be at the Mt. Ararat MOPS store front to have square work for you. Thus, be sure to check out at these direct links :)

Make It, Bake It, Grow It

MOPS GIFT SHOPPING!

MAKE IT, BAKE IT, GROW IT!

Calling all Bakers, Crafters, Handyladies, & Creative Women!!

This is one of our all time favorite events. We do Make It, Bake It, Grow It once a semester and it is here!

Make It - Bake It - Grow It is just as it sounds. Every one who is interested in participating brings in something they have made, baked/cooked, or grown. We have seen a number of fun things over the years come to the tables from stationary, to meals, to wood working,  to blankets, to scarves, to plants & herbs.

NOVEMBER 14th - Regular MOPS meeting

We do a silent auction of these items throughout the meeting, with a last call just for those items that are being battled over. The proceeds go towards our MOPPETS Program. It is a great way to get something you really wanted, or gifts for the fast approaching holidays.
