Here is a sample listing of activities. Some of the details change more often than this site is updated, so if in doubt, members should confirm with the appropriate contact people. Please become a member to participate.
MONDAY APPLE GATHERING
A weekly social and learning gathering especially for those interested in homeschooling, but all APPen members are welcome. Held from from 10:30am-12:30pm at an open space preserve. If weather is bad, we may arrange a different location. Members can email Ryl or Heather O. for more information.
TUESDAY TODDLE TIME PLAYGROUP

WEDNESDAY MORNING PARK DAY
A weekly social event for all ages. We meet Wednesday from 10am-12pm at various parks. If weather is bad, we may arrange a different location—it's always a good idea to check the email list on Wednesday morning to see if there is a change. Members can email Becca L. for more information.
MONTHLY MOTHER’S (AND FATHER’S) NIGHT OUT
Once a month we get together at a local restaurant to share food and conversation. Members can contact Becca L. for more information.

QUARTERLY FAMILY POTLUCKS
Community potluck get-togethers are planned roughly four times per year. Sometimes we meet in parks and sometimes in members’ homes. Members can contact Becca A-B for more information.
FIELD TRIPS, EVENTS, AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
Individuals may create activities or trips for the benefit of the group. The individual creating the event may set any guidelines and limitations he or she feels appropriate. Individuals may choose to conduct field trips or events related to their interests or those of their children, ideally with the larger intention of APP in mind.
