We've loved and laughed and cried and shared our Beautiful Mess of motherhood together. It's been a great year! We've finished the year strong with a leadership dinner at
Blue Fish reminiscing about our time in charge and all we've learned. We had a cinco de mayo themed End of the Year party at Allison's house catered by Tijuana Flats. Michele won the best margarita contest for her delicious mango-ritas! Our last meeting was the day after Mother's Day. We "glammed it up" using our formal china and serving pieces. Each mom received a rose. We said thank you to our amazing mentor moms and good-bye to a few moms not returning. I feel so blessed with the farewell presented to me (the out-going coordinator) by the group. We even heard from Tracy, the new coordinator about how MOPS has saved her life. We finished with the Ring the Bell game. Pretty amazing stuff!
Check out this hot, beautiful mess!
And now summer is officially upon us! The leadership team had a kick off dinner to start planning the next year. The retreat will be later this summer- where the real planning takes place. Meeting topics and fundraisers will be voted upon. The team will receive training on how to minister best to the mothers of preschoolers in our area. We even had our first play date of the summer!
Thank you to all the moms, St. Mark's staff, vendors and friends who helped to make this year of MOPS so successful! We are so blessed!
