It being a beautiful Spring

For Mavens and Other
Mothers
Nicki Levine and Jeanie
Katz are organizing a new
special interest group for
members and potential
members of Ha Lailah.
For “MOMS” is for women
who are expecting or have had
a baby within the past year.
This program will offer to its
participants the opportunity
to leam helpful hints on handl
ing special problems, sharing
tips on child care and provide
for adult company during a
portion of the day. This will
not be a mother’s morning out
as the children will attend and
the program will be a “casual
coffee Uatch.”
Come share ideas, thoughts,
feelings and possibly concerns
with someone who can
definitely relate to a mother
with a small child or a mother-
to-be.
The group will meet the se
cond Thursday of each month
from 10-11:30 a.m. at different
homes. For more information
