Meetings

We offer two evening meetings per month for Moms (infants under 5 months and Dads are also welcome). Our regular meetings may have a guest speaker, member presenter(s), or a small group discussion format. Our "chat night" meetings provide a topic to discuss, but with plenty of time for socializing. Unless noted otherwise, all meetings are 7-9pm at the Gladwin Meeting Place, 4105 W. Liberty Rd. Ann Arbor (between Wagner and Zeeb).

September 9th, 2008(Note date change): Chat Night: Making Friends     Member Home
Join us from 7-9 PM at we chat about women’s friendships: how we make them, how we keep them, why we need them, how they change over time, and how making friends as mothers and mature adults can be more difficult than during the teen and college years.


September 18th, 2008: Life’s Essentials: Exercise and Self Care for Women     Gladwin Meeting Place
In 1994, speaker Michelle Segar conducted a study that showed breast cancer survivors who exercised significantly decreased their depression and anxiety. She also found that many of them stopped exercising when daily responsibilities moved to the forefront. Join us at Gladwin Meeting Place from 7-9 PM as Michelle discusses the unique barriers that women face staying motivated to exercise and prioritizing their own self-care, as well as methods for overcoming them. Michelle Segar, Ph.D., is a psychology researcher and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at The University of Michigan and founder of the Essentialities program.
