Five Things You Need to Know Today, May 10

Here are five things you need to know today:

Babysitter Mixer: A local organization is bringing parents and sitters together at Imajine that in Lawrence tonight at 7 p.m. I couldn’t say it better:

“The atmosphere at a Sitter Mixer is part-cocktail-party, part-speed-dating, part-job-fair, and all fun!  In one night you will be able to meet and interview multiple, qualified sitters from your local area and walk away with your very own Sitter Match Book with the complete resumes, references and contact information for sitters specifically matched to your family’s individual needs.  Imagine having a notebook full of awesome sitters ready and waiting to care for your children– it’s every mom’s dream!” Find out more
