Anyone know of or interested in starting a local playgroup? I have two small children (1 and 3 years old) and I am home during the day with them. I also babysit two other children (same ages) three days a week, and I would love to be able to interact with other local mothers and children. Anyone out there interested or know anyone who might be?

This may be a little late, however, in case you haven't found a play group there is one starting on April 16, 2008 called "Moms and Tots Open Gym."  It will be held each Wednesday from 09:30 AM to 11:30 AM in the Gym located in the Vineyard Church Community Center, 6000 Cooper Road, Westerville.  It will run each week through June 25th then will close for the month of July for the Zone summer program (grade school-middle school).  The group will begin meeting again the first Wednesday in August.   The activities are geared for children ages 2-5 years old, but babies are welcome.  No registration is required, just walk-in.  It sounds like this is what you were looking for.  Should you want further information, you may contact the church at 890-0000.  Hope this helps.
