Childcare at Monthly Meetings?

There has been some interest in having childcare available at WPPA meetings. We have approval from school to use additional spaces and are exploring some options. A few questions for YOU:

• Would you use it?
• Would you be willing to take a turn volunteering to help watch kids during meeting?
• Should WPPA consider using funds to pay for one or two people to watch the kids during the meetings?

We'd love to hear your feedback. Please send an email with CHILDCARE in the subject line with your thoughts.
