I saw in the paper the other day that there is a new networking group starting up this month in January. It is part of the 'mom cafe' network, and the inaugural Abbotsford meeting is on January 13 from 9-11 am at the Clayburn Gourmet Gallery coffeeshop. There is childcare available which is to be provided by the Creative Edge School of the Arts.
I remember reading about the mom cafe events in Vancouver a year or so ago, and thinking that they sounded interesting. I am planning to attend, and am looking forward to it! Hopefully my kids will enjoy it too. If anyone is interested, more information can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/momcafefv
