We are now Sponsored by the Resort At Forbes Creek Apartment Homes. See there web site link of where we will be meeting for meetings and activities. Thanks to Resort At Forbes Creek, our Group has no Membership Dues! They have a fabulous community with year round amenities for us to enjoy. They are actively pursuing the quest to create a strong sense of Community here in Kirkland, WA. Centrally located a mile from Forbes Creek in Kirkland, WA this provides a private space to meet along side Kirkland, WA events!

Join us in events and or host new meet ups! Kirkland Parks, Library, Shops, Art Galleries, Restaurants and Waterfront. Stroller walks around town, gallery walks to look at local art. There are many ways to enjoy Kirkland with our children and other families. Support local family businesses that have events for children!

We have a lot of members with children under 1 Year and under 3 Years old. We need Members to Host Events that are specific to those ages. If you are able to host an event, we would all appreciate your participation. EMAIL Group Organizer Jennifer Wang when you would like to host your first event. You can then become an Assistant Organizer and host events/activities for the group. In addition, I am inviting Members to become Assistant Organizers to Host events. If you need help to post and event, simply email Jennifer your event and she can post if for you!

Kirkand, WA is a wonderful place to raise a family and we need members to keep fun family events going on for many to enjoy!

We are imprementing a Attendance Policy as of Fall 2009. The Organizer and Assistant Organizers are responsible for implementing a policy that all members feels is fair to all parties. Future monthly meeting at Resort At Forbes Creek will determine group policy. For now, an idea of what to be in full effect:

It is courteous to accept or decline an invitation within a few days of receiving it. The same goes for adjusting your RSVP if your plans change. To break it down:

*You should RSVP within the first two days of receiving an invitation.

*You should update your RSVP as soon as your plans change. If that's within 24 hours of the event, you should personally contact the Organizer via email or phone to tell them about the change

*If you RSVPed Yes, you show up to the event. If you can't show up, you change your RSVP accordingly and explain to the Organizer why you couldn't attend.

*If you RSVPed No, you do not attend the event without changing your RSVP to Yes and then contacting the Organizer.

*If you RSVPed Maybe, you change your RSVP to Yes or No at least 48 hours before the event and inform the Organizer of that change.

A three strikes rule is standard. For example, RSVPing Yes and not showing up three times would constitue some type of action. What that action is up to the group Organizers to determine at our monthly meeting. Organizer could contact them with a warning or even remove them from your Meetup Group.
