“For 20 wonderful years, Lamorinda Moms has provided support and a community for mothers with young children,” said 2015-16 Lamorinda Moms Co-Director Meighan Baldwin. “From our playgroups, to social events, to speaker series and new mother support, many members say they’ve formed lasting friendships from the parents they’ve met through this organization, and this week we celebrated and honored that.”

With nearly 1,000 current members, Lamorinda Moms is excited for the future of the organization.

“Our current goal is to continue to build community externally within Lamorinda and internally among our members,” said 2014 – 15 Lamorinda Moms Co-Director Jill Gibson. “With the start of our fiscal year in August, we plan to find ways we can further participate in community activities, engage members in event volunteerism, make introductions to facilitate new social relationships, and provide access to information regarding newborn, infant and toddler care and growth.”
