Thanks for joining us at Saturday’s CML Kids Club event; three more this year!

There’s a spring in our steps after Saturday’s Connells Maple Lee Kids Club event, and not just because it involved hyacinth plants for Easter.
We just had a great time seeing everyone who turned out. Thanks to the children and parents who joined us.
This is our biggest year of kids club events ever, with three more to come:

  • June 22: Connells Maple Lee Stems Hunger
  • Aug. 17: Back to school
  • Oct. 26: Halloween/Bouquets for Books

Remember that it’s free for children ages 5 to 12 to join the kids club: just stop by any store or fill out the registration form on our website.
We look forward to seeing a big crowd in June.
