Additional Information: As moms, it’s hard to meet new friends. Our lives revolve around our children and often our spouses/partners, leaving little time for ourselves. This event is for moms who are looking to build their support network and establish connections in their community. This will be like speed dating but to make new friends. Each “date” is four minutes long and gives you time to introduce yourself plus Q&A game time. Free Mocktails, appetizers, and childcare will be provided.
