Wow, what a way to finish off our 2009 Moms Going Out series.

Welcome to Moms Going Out, a series of evening workshops and social events designed especially for moms. These days, facebook is more prevalent than face time, and real life interactions are becoming a rare and precious thing. We aim to provide high-quality opportunities for in-person socializing and networking, along with a chance to learn something new. Our pilot program launches in Brookline, MA in October 2009. Mom’s going out. With other moms going out. And it’s going to be fun.
