## Daddy and Me Alan Sproat 972-492-1846 It's time for another Kids Clinic at Lowe's (1253 E. Trinity Mills); this time the CECPTA dads (and moms) and children will have everything all to themselves. Normally for a Kids Clinic at Lowe's everyone in the area comes and they all spend about 20 minutes on their project and leave. The kids make something fun, get an apron to wear and take home, along with their finished project, a badge or patch for their project, and sometimes even goggles. We have set up a private class on Saturday, February 16th at 10:00am. in which we will not only get all those things, but the kids will be able to stay and paint their projects too. We will bring a snack and drinks so that after working hard everyone can eat and wait for the paint to dry (wet paint can be a bit of a nuisance on the car upholstery). This not only gives them more time to create, it gives mom, if she stays home, more time alone (yay!) The cost is $4.00 per kit and the kids will be making a tic-tac-toe set. The coordinator has already been warned to have as many colors of paint on hand possible, since this should be very colorful (and pre-schoolers don't seem limited by the norm).
