On Thursday, August 6th, local author Ellen Mayer will be joining our 9-10:30 playgroup at the The Somerville Community Growing Center for "Books and Banjo", including a reading of her book "Yellow, Red, Green - GO!" and a sing-a-long with related songs.

Later that evening, the The Somerville Community Growing Center will be hosting a Stuffed Animal Campout from 5-6:30. Bring your favorite stuffie for an evening of friends, crafts, fun, and "camping" (only the stuffie sleeps over!).

We hope to see some of you there!

Wow!! SFLC Playgroup families know how to party! Our hearts are full this morning after an amazing event last night. Thanks to all who came out to celebrate with us, thank you to The Somerville Community Growing Center for hosting us, and to Jeff Jam for the awesome music.
