Dear Members,

     We want to congratulate Ellen Beaudry of Billerica for winning the 50/50 raffle at our October workshop.  Raffle tickets are available for sale at each workshop: $1.00 per ticket or $5.00 for 6 tickets.  We also have the FCCA T shirts for sale at $13.00 each. If you would like to purchase a T shirt but cannot make a workshop, please call Marlene Foley at (978) 667-1368. 

     Our annual fire station field trip was a big success.  The children all enjoyed learning about fire safety and exploring and climbing on all of the Billerica fire trucks.  It was a great hands on learning experience for the FCCA daycare children!  Our pottery "Ladies Night Out" was a fun filled evening.  A lot of laughs and some creative pottery designs were had by all that attended.

     On December 10, we will be having our EEC workshop on the new regulations.  Doors will open at 6 P.M., and we would like to have everyone signed in and seated no later than 6:20.  The workshop will begin promptly at 6:30, and the doors will be locked.  PLEASE BE ON TIME !    You may want to download a copy of the new regulations and familiarize yourself with them before the workshop if you haven’t already.  The workshop will be approximately 2 hours and will include questions and answers.         Pre-registration is required so we can have an accurate count for certificates.  This is  open to our MEMBERS ONLY.  If you would like to attend, please call Linda Rowe at (978) 851-0719 so I can put your name on the attendance list.  PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

     I have enclosed a flyer on our annual FCCA Christmas Party.  Please note the location change.  The party will be held at Villaggio’s Restaurant at Manning Manse                    56 Chelmsford Road  Rte. 129   N. Billerica  MA. 

     We now have an Arts & Crafts Board at each workshop.  Feel free to bring in any craft idea or sample to put on the board and share with our members.   Our resource table has a lot of great information…be sure to check it out too!

Sincerely,

Linda Rowe, President
