Note the Change of Dates
Gabby Russo is an expatriate mom in our mom’s network. She created a fabulous book club for going through the process of motherhood with the use of group conversation and books. She is starting a 5-week pilot project at the end of April to explore the interest a group like this can have with our expatriate moms. Though expectant and new mothers will probably get the most value from it, anybody is welcome to join.
