Come kick-off the holiday season at CMOM during our
Red Carpet Christmas Celebration. Be sure to bring
your Christmas list as you visit with the jolly ole big
guy himself, Santa! Meet our grumpy green furry
guest that needs a little help to learn the meaning of
Christmas. We’re sure you can help warm his heart
to the season! Enjoy mini performances of Peter
Pan by Playhouse on the Square and the Nutcracker
by Collierville Arts Academy. Create one-of-akind holiday themed crafts to keep or give away as
gifts. Change up your look with face painting and
temporary tattoos. Play a round of Christmas Bingo
for a chance to win a prize. Choose a fun prop, strike
a pose and take home a keepsake photo from Phancy
Photo Booth. Admission is $12 for non-members and
free for members. Tickets can be purchased at the
door and includes museum admission.
Ninja New Year's at Noon!
Wednesday, December 31, 10am-1pm
It's a New Year's celebration for the whole family!
Enjoy an action packed day with everyone's
favorite turtles. Get your face painted or choose
a temporary tattoo to add to your crime fighting
disguise. Search throughout the museum as you
join the Ninja Scavenger Hunt. Stop by the craft
tables to make a fun Ninja Turtle themed craft.
Turtle and Ninja costumes are encouraged and the
wearers will be entered in a drawing for a Village
Toymaker gift certificate or CMOM membership.
Everyone gets to celebrate the New Year at noon
with a countdown, goodie toss and balloon drop.
Everyone gets a prize! Admission is $15 for nonmembers and free for members. Tickets can be

Pop, Rock and Roll - Cirque du CMOM Tennis Tournament!
It was the first ever Cirque du CMOM Tennis Tournament presented by Patton and Taylor! Ladies found
a new way to Pop, Rock and Roll while they supported a cause near and dear to their hearts, CMOM!
With more than 40 participants, the first year was a great success. All players went home with t-shirts
and goodie bags while the winners received special trophies. Thank you to all of the sponsors and
players! Everyone had a 'Rockin' Good Time!'

2014 CMOM Golf Scramble!
On October 30, golfers teed up to support their favorite cause, CMOM! With International Paper leading
the way as Title Sponsor, the scramble was a sell out for teams and sponsorships! Around 120 golfers
came out on a beautiful day to help raise more than $70,000 for our educational programs and exhibits.
Golf committee members Ron Kastner, Britt Daniel, Austin Ehrat, Chuck Hamlett, Patrick Reilly, Philip
Spinosa, Alex Stringfellow and Matt Wilson worked to ensure a fantastic event. Thank you to all of our
sponsors and to everyone who participated!

"That's a Wrap" - Special Events at CMOM!
In September to celebrate Grandparent's Month, CMOM held Games with Grandparents. Families played checkers, bingo, jenga
and many other classic board games! Cookies and lemonade were served as a special treat and some guests participated in
the generations look-a-like contest!
As the cool weather started to set in, the Snow Sisters came back to CMOM for a visit! The Children's Ball was such a great
success that there were two nights of fun this year! Everyone loved the walk down the red carpet, sword fighting and carriage
rides, but dancing the night away was the best!
