Hi,
I'm representing the newly formed parents organization, Parents for Occupy Chicago. Our goal is to encourage parents to support the occupy movement. One of the ways we would like to do this is to have a regular "kids zone" equipped with things such as art supplies, toy instruments, small games, and books. At our meeting today we discussed the possibility of using an indoor space to do some of our actives during the cold and snowy months. I understand that you are very close to finding a "home". I writing to ask that you consider a space that would have room to accommodate families that would like to attend and possibly a space that would be suitable for small group children's activities. OWS has a very active parents organization, and they actually rope off an entire area for their kids zone. I realize we don't have the luxury of occupying an entire park. But we think it is important that Occupy Chicago has a designated safe and fun spot for parents and children.
