From the President
Happy March! Hopefully the cold weather will soon be a distant memory as we move into Spring. Each Spring our Montgomery Moms Board changes leadership roles for the coming year. This is a group of creative, energetic women who share their time and talents with us. We have a few spots that are available for you to get involved.
We currently are looking for people to chair: Advertising, Hospitality, Children’s Activities, Community
Enrichment and Meeting Coordinator. I cannot stress how important our Board is to the continued success of our group.
Without leaders to take on these roles, our group would not be able to exist. I hope all of you will consider becoming involved in one of the positions.
It is a great way to meet new people and make new friendships with other Montgomery Moms.
Our board meets three times a year, in August, January and May.
If you have any questions about these positions please feel free to contact me.

GENERAL MEETINGS....Each month we gather, generally the second Tuesday of the month, in Terwilliger Lodge within Dulle Park at 7:30 pm.
Meetings begin with social time, including light snacks and beverages. Feel free to bring a friend and see what being a Montgomery Mom is all about!
Please join us, on April 2, to watch a riviting documentary about the current state of our education system as reseached by one parent in California that wants to make a change to benefit our children.
The film is 1 hour and 25 minutes so we will start promptly at 7:45pm so we can get it in and have a brief discussion afterwards. Featuring the heartbreaking stories of students across the country who have been pushed to the brink by over-scheduling, over-testing and the relentless pressure to achieve, “Race to Nowhere” points to a silent epidemic in our schools.
Through the testimony of educators, parents and education experts, it reveals an education system in which cheating has become commonplace; students have become disengaged; stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant; and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
