Helpful Tip:
As a Group Leader it’s important to recruit members by spreading the word about your new playgroup by handing out playgroup cards or fliers (either the ones we provide or you can create your own). Also, make sure to email 'The Peanut' once you have added your playgroup so we can put it in the next newsletter that goes out. You can use your playgroup link that is assigned, found within your playgroups community pages, once you add your group. Members will be able to identify your group by your playgroup name and also the assigned link.
