Mothers Club Informational Meetings
Did you know that the Mothers Club hosts a monthly Informational Meeting? If you’re new to the club and want to find out more about what we do, or if you’ve been a club member for awhile but just haven’t gotten to any events yet, or you’re just in the mood for a yummy latte and a chat with some other parents—all excellent reasons to join us!
For 2008, we have a new venue for our informational meeting: Open Eye Café, in Carrboro. We meet on the fourth Wednesday of each month from 10 to 11 a.m. (look for us in the side room). If you’ve never been to Open Eye, click here for directions. Parking is available on the street, or in Carrboro’s free public parking lots (the lots marked 1a and 1e are closest to Open Eye).
Bring your kids (or not!), the atmosphere in Open Eye is very relaxed. See you there!
