Time Out for Mom

Carole Rivardo (recently featured in the Express-Times - read it here), who is the coordinator of Time out for Mom asked that I post the following:

“Time Out For Mom” is a woman’s group that meets to provide friendship, guidance and support to mothers with children of all ages. Current members of the group include woman with children ranging in age from newborn to high school, stay-at-home moms as well as working women. All women within the local communities are invited to join the group.

Our weekly morning meetings are held every Wednesday morning during the school year from 9:30 am to 11:00 am in the Wortmann Center at Holy Family Parish, Nazareth. Meetings are very informal and casual and are scheduled to include refreshments, open discussions among the group; various speakers from local businesses and groups; activities such as cardio-vascular walks and ceramic classes. We also venture out for breakfast and lunch at local restaurants.

For those mothers with young children, childcare is provided during our morning meetings in the new church basement. A supervised playgroup is provided for the children along with planned activities such as coloring, crafts, storytime, snacks and holiday parties.

Our evening social gatherings are scheduled to allow everyone a "night out", especially for those members who cannot join our morning meetings. Events include dinner at various restaurants, game night (Bonco), theme parties, movies, couple get-togethers, demonstration parties, bowling, and much more.

Our first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 12, 2007. For additional information, please contact the Holy Family Parish office at (610) 759-0870.
