“This year Is shaping up to be an awesome year filled with relevant topics and activities that aim to support and encourage moms from all walks of life,” Megan Williams, coordinator of the MOPS at Night group said.
“Our group truly shows the range of moms we welcome into MOPS. From married moms to single moms, working moms to stay-at-home moms, to moms of multiples and moms of just one, we all gather with one thing in common- to encourage, support and build community among moms. MOPS International has always affirmed that ‘better moms make a better world’ and I believe that’s what we’re doing right here in our own small communities.”
