Inspired by the Motherless Daughters book, Meet-up to support, give our experience, strength and hope to local girls and women who have lost their mothers. We like to have a good time while bonding through a shared experience. We go to a new restaurant each month, so we can visit everyone's neighborhoods and favorite restaurants. We plan to start including other activities during our meet-ups, as suggested each month by members. This is a great place to find fun, intelligent, friendly women in the city who understand what we're each going through. The loss of a mother is something that changes you forever, but it can help to spend time talking with other women about it. We also talk about our lives, families, jobs, coping strategies, books we've read, and each members' interests and hobbies. Hope you can join us each month to have fun and find out how similar our experiences really make us.

This meetup will be a potluck. So every one is asked to bring a dish, beverage or desert. This will be the last meetup before the holidays so we hope that every one can make it. We know that the holidays can be tough for some of you so we really want to connect with in order to support you through them. The next meetup after this one will be in January.
