October 8th - 13th

Fun 'N' Hip Mommies of MD, DC and VA

I'd like to say a big hello to our newest members this week! There's at least 20 of them, from all over Maryland, DC and Virginia!

We'd love each of you to pick an event that is coming up this week and come out and meet with an organizer. After your first meeting on this group, we'll have you move over to our other group: Super Fun 'N' Hip Mommies

Once we've verified via meeting you in person that you are indeed a woman ;-) we'll let you in on sooooo much more fun!!

Here's some things that are coming up:

Monday - 10am.
Park Play on a Fall Day, hosted by Amy Emad.

It's at a park in Silver Spring / Burtonsville area (which is actually called Fairland - but most people have never heard of Fairland) ;-)

You can read more details, and RSVP here: http://moms.meetup.com/1922/calendar/6359813 In addition to Amy, there are about 4 other moms from the "verified" group signed up to go to.

Tuesday 10.30am - Pumpkin Festival! There are about 60 of us going to Butler's Orchard in Gaithersburg, MD for a special fall festival that they're holding over from Columbus Day especially for us! Dalene is hosting this awesome event, and I'll be along a little later (after my son has speech therapy).

Bring your camera and get those really special pictures of your kid(s) on the pumpkins! Buy your pumpkins here for our BIG HALLOWEEN MONSTER PARADE - which is on Oct 31st, and has almost 100 of us attending!!

Wednesday - 10.30am - C&O Canal - I'm hosting a walk at the C&O Canal, and there's about 8 other moms from the "verified" group attending with their kids. This is a gorgeous walk, and you get to stand over the rapids, and take some great shots!

Saturday 8pm - Moms night out! Especially for working mommies (but open to all) who can never make it out to our daytime events (which unfortunately make up at least 80% of our calendar) - I'm hosting an Oktoberfest night at Old Europe, in downtown DC! Let's meet, have dinner, socialize and get to know one another!! There are at least 5 of us going from the "verified" group, and we'd all love to meet some new mommies!!

Please note that on the other group - there are about 3 activities per day listed - all over MD, DC and VA. We are all super friendly, and welcoming, and really are looking forward to meeting more new mommies, in the hopes that we build new friendships!

When I started this group, I really had NO friends who were also moms, now I have a handful of women that I consider literally my best friends, and a hundred others that I LOVE hanging out with, and getting to know. I sincerely hope that you too take advantage of everything this group has to offer!

Again, welcome to the newest moms (and to the moms we've yet to meet)!

Julie.
