KIDS ACTIVITIES

We are also creating a more kid friendly environment at ZNE for those of you who have children, or entertain grandchildren, etc.  We are asking all members to consider any crafty kid websites that they are aware of, and submit them via the submission link above.  For those of you who are interested in kid activities, check out our ZNE Kids portal, which is still in its baby stages.  No pun intended!
