| West Town Neighborhood Club |
|
The West Town Neighborhood Club includes the neighborhoods of Bucktown, Wicker Park and Ukrainian Village. We have events once or twice a month at kid-friendly local businesses and area parks, providing an opportunity for parents and children to meet up, hang out, discover nearby places and make new friends in a laid-back, comfortable atmosphere. Our group attracts both working and stay-at-home parents, so we try to plan both weekday and weekend get-togethers.
When: Monday, August 23rd, 2010, 10:00am - 12:00pm
Where: Starfruit Cafe, 1745 W. Division, Chicago, 773-395-9300, www.starfruitcafe.com
Parking: Metered and street parking
Who: Members, Non-Members and Children

Beat the heat and mingle with other caregivers and children while treating yourself to a (healthy!) cold and creamy refreshment. Buy yourself a treat and get a free one for your child. Make your mid-morning snack or before-naptime-treat a social event for you and your babe!
Volunteer Coordinator: Amy Johnson
Meet the Co-Chairs!
Amy lives in Ukranian Village with her husband and two young sons, ages 4 and 2. Amy's work background is in non-profit program management. Currently she is a stay-at-home mom and a Local Childcare Coordinator with Cultural Care Au Pair. When Amy is not bribing her sons to take their naps, she is blogging at www.rockrocksilly.blogspot.com, thinking about exercising, racking up overdue fines at the library, and scrambling to get her work done. She is excited to take on the role of co-chair of the West Town Club and hopes to meet all of you very soon.
Kelly is mom to one year old Emerson and works full time in Human Resources for a local non-profit organization. She grew up outside Rockford, IL. She and her husband of 10 years moved to Chicago 3 years
ago from Ithaca, NY where he was working on his PhD – they currently reside in Wicker Park. She is volunteering with NPN to meet other families in her neighborhood and to give back to an organization that has given so much to her.
If you have any ideas or suggestions for future events or locations, please let us know! Send an email to westtownclub@npnparents.org. We look forward to seeing you soon.
