Events

The Soccer Program in Mount Pleasant is recreational, and intended to help kids build a love of soccer, stay active, and have fun in the community!  Volunteer coaches from the community will introduce young players to soccer and focus on fun and player development. U3-U10 players will learn new skills appropriate for their ages, enjoy smaller sided games, play with their friends, and grow their love of the sport. U8 and U10 will also play small, fast paced games.  MPCA players in U11-18 will continue their skill development in teams and through organized games against other communities. Players will be supported by volunteers coaches.  Volunteer Requirement Each family* registered in MPCA soccer is required to either: 1) donate their time, or 2) provide a $100 monetary donation. If you wish to donate your time, please select a volunteer task in the following link and someone from the MPCA Board will be in touch with you.

Note: This is a two-part class.  Please REGISTER ONLY ONCE and commit to both dates to complete the project and the materials provided are not wasted.  Ticket price is $10 for both dates for this class. Our first class will be devoted to creating the background for the landscape. We will use the wet felting method, gently layering and manipulating wool fibres, dampening, rubbing  and agitating, repeating often to achieve a bonded surface that suggests the beginning  of a meadow, a forest glade, or rolling hills.  Our second class will involve needle felting over the (now dry) surface to indicate wild  flowers and butterflies or perhaps tree trunks, branches, birds and mushrooms. Your choice of image will evolve from the felted surface.  ⭐Please bring an old bath towel and a bag to carry it home wet. Thanks!  Registration opens on Tuesday, April 7th at 10:00am. * There is a non-refundable ticket price of $10.00 for the class.  These classes are sponsored by MPCA and include all materials, tools, and guidance by an artisan leading the projects.  All skill levels are welcome, no experience needed. Classes are geared to ages 14 and up.  This is an amazing opportunity to gain insight into a new medium, and connect with new people. * Please be an MPCA member to register for classes.  You may purchase up to two tickets for the class. * If you can no longer attend a class for which you have registered, please let Aileen (contact information below) know as soon as possible.  This may allow someone on the waiting list to take your place, and avoid purchasing supplies that are not used. * If the class is sold out (full) when you attempt to register, please contact Aileen (contact information below) to be placed on the waiting list. * You do not need to print and bring a copy of the registration confirmation email you receive. * If you are the slightest bit uncomfortable completing the registration process online, please contact Aileen (contact information below) to sort it out.
