I had a great time at our first meeting of the new ALO year last night. There were lots of tasty cookies and friendly moms. Judy facilitated and got volunteers for a variety of things (baking, facilitating, setup, etc.). If you weren't there but would like to help, there are still plenty of opportunities to get involved! Let us know! Then Stephanie got us started with an activity sharing our favorite things about being mothers, and our greatest challenges. We all got to meet some new people and, for the returning members, reconnect with friends from prior years. There were about ten kids in attendance too! Remember that we WILL have child care at all future meetings, provided in an adjacent room.
On a sadder note we said farewell to Michelle, who is moving away at the end of the month with her husband and two darling daughters. They've brought a lot of spirit to some meetings in the past and last night we saw where they got it from! Michelle had everyone laughing with a stand-up comedy routine she had prepared about Catholic motherhood. "Pope Francis has really changed a few things" is right! Goodbye and God bless, Michelle and family!
