THALWIL
There is an informal group of parents who meet with their children
(ages 0 to 5) on Friday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30. We've named the
group "Kribble Krabble". During the warmer months, we meet at local
parks like Park im Gruene but now that it has turned colder, we are
meeting in the nursery of the International Baptist Church in
Rüschlikon. We don't charge a fee, but do ask for a small donation for
the church from the people who join each week.
If you are interested in joining us, please send me an e-mail off-line
with your e-mail address to
lwyssbrod001@yahoo.com and I will add you
to the mailing list. We send an e-mail on Thursday nights about where
we will meet on the following Fridays.
