Introducing… 3rd Saturday PARENTS’ NIGHT OUT at This Side UP! Family Center.
While we have been offering 3rd Saturday childcare for some time now, it has come to our attention that people thought this was only available for those who have received a gift card through the “I Date My Spouse” Program or for single parents attending our Single Side UP! Group. That’s NOT the case! So we’ve given it a more official, tried and true name: PARENTS NIGHT OUT!
PNO Childcare is open to all parents and kids!!! Kids… ages 0 through 13 years (14 and up can contact us about volunteering). Space is limited in the 0-3 year old area, so sign up early to ensure your spot. We need to know the ages of all kids so that we staff our volunteers well, too!
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED and starts at 12:01am on the first of each month! Every 3rd Saturday from 6-9pm. We get to have a blast with your kids while you enjoy a Night Out!

This Summer, Single Side Up will offer a free finance class just for single parents. We will cover budgeting, getting out of debt, and saving. Single parents can WIN with money, and we want to help you! It just takes some organization, some temporary sacrifices, and commitment.
The class will take place from June through August, 2018. We will meet twice each month, for a total of six sessions. One session each month will be in-person, at the TSUF Sort-It-Out Room. The other session will be a virtual meeting, so you can attend from the comfort of your couch!
We are offering this class to single parents who are truly committed, and who will make sure they will attend all 6 weeks. Topics include:
- Knowing EXACTLY how much money is coming in and going out
- Knowing your debts – many people don’t realize how much debt they have
- Paying off debt
- Saving for emergencies, retirement, college, etc
The course consists of three 90 minute classroom sessions (6/23, 7/28, and 8/18) at the TSUF S.O.R.T. It Out Room from 10-11:30 am.

Leave with some documents and/or valuable resources that will help put these important pieces in place for your family! Jnana Settle, attorney, will hold a question/answer time at the end, too!
