Their steering committee were all amazed at the turn out with the first meeting falling right after Labor Day.
It was a thrill seeing mom after mom walk through that door. All enjoyed talking to their little ones. Watching their faces as they dropped their children off with the childcare volunteers was priceless. The blessing that all can be to these moms is so rewarding. Everyone is looking forward to making connections and building relationships with each one this year.
She reminded all to look to those around them when they need support and also be an encouragement to others when they see that they are in need.
Moms then used the discussion group time to get to know those in the group a little more closely, and to share some of story. They all really enjoyed talking to other moms and hearing their thoughts. Moms are excited for the friendships they are forming.
The creative activities leader had a craft for the moms to put together. Unfortunately, part of the supplies got left on the kitchen counter. So needless to say Moms were not able to complete the entire project. The rest of the supplies next time for moms to finish.
One of the steering committee members gave them permission to use part of her blog when writing this for the newspaper. She also wants to invite everyone to follow each meeting on her blog https://ajoyfullhome.wordpress.com.
