Working Mothers' Group of South Riding (WMGofSR)

Our Mission: Mom -to- Mom Support for Working Mothers. Positive parenting and social networking via activities to build friendships and confidence in motherhood. Come Join Us!

Benefits of Joining a Moms' Group:

Building a social network that will last a lifetime not only for you but for your little ones as well. This is especially true if you are new to the neighborhood, pregnant or first time parents.

Working Mothers' Group of South Riding is open to all self employed, part time or full time working moms. Our meetings are concise (30 minutes only) so as not to encroach on precious family time. (First Wednesday and Third Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. sharp) and one weekend a month a childrens' activity/outing).

Please join us whether you are a veteran mom, thinking of starting a family, pregnant or are a first time mom. Children ages 0-10 years are welcome to accompany moms to the meetings.

All are welcome to attend without any pressure to formally join the club.
