Mama Care Fair

May 2013 POWER Outage

 

This is our opportunity to say THANK YOU to all the amazing people raising our next generation, a very challenging and underappreciated job.

So if you’re a mama –

Come relax and enjoy an evening of pampering on Monday, May 6th from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm at Darby’s Café located at 407 N 5th Ave SW in downtown Olympia.

If you are an admirer of mamas, you can help out:

 Serve a meal, play music, offer massages, tarot readings, chair yoga, childcare, or any other relaxing, fun thing for the mamas. Help us put on a really good party!

Can’t make it? Provide a gift certificate for services mamas can use later, ex. haircut, massage, etc.

Let us know what you can do!
