Mothers & More turns 15.

The northern Wake county chapter of Mothers & More is proud to commemorate the organization’s 15th anniversary. They will celebrate with an Open House to be held Tuesday night, October 15th at 7:30 PM at St. Luke’s Catholic Church in North Raleigh.

"For 15 years Mothers & More has been offering a sense of community to women altering their careers over the course of their active parenting years through its local chapters," says Jeni Hruska, chapter co-leader. "We're pleased to be an important part of this unique organization supporting mothers."

Jeni's chapter has been serving local mothers for more than three years. It offers two meetings a month, on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday evenings, with topical discussions and/or guest speakers. In addition, the chapter offers a multitude of opportunities for local moms to participate in moms nights out, various playgroups, and mom & tot activities. And if you are interested in skill-building volunteer opportunities, the chapter and the national organization have many positions to choose from.

"We are active participants in our community, and a growing force across the country," says co-leader Julie Blaisure. "Mothers & More is the only women’s organization that addresses mothers’ transitions into, out of, and within the paid workforce and nurtures the ‘other than mother’ needs and interests of its members."

Serving over 7500 members in the US and beyond, Mothers & More is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of mothers through support, education and advocacy. It addresses mothers’ needs as individuals and members of society, and promotes the value of all the work mothers do. For further information, log onto www.mothersandmore.org.
