Thanks for the event and happy SuMMEr

Hey Bend Maumas,

Thanks for the great Reclaiming Mothers Day Event!

As always, the cake was out of this world, and this one in fact was a globe of fantastic culinary confection with different color children holding hands over a star sprinkled blue sea. Many thanks to Magadalyne Hasse for all of her creative and DELICIOUS contributions.

Aspen and Charles came to play live music again this year and the weather was perfect for dancing, hooping, and bubble blowing festivities.

Our honorary Julia Ward Howe was Miss Erika Garvey of COCC. And the central purpose for this years event was to appoint a Children's Ambassador who would oversee and prioritize funding for programs that serve children internationally and to urge Congress to fully fund programs benefiting orphans and other vulnerable children.

For the first time in 48 years, our members of Congress are working to reform foreign aid!

Stay tuned for pictures off this years Reclaiming mothers day event.

Bend Mothers Acting Up is currently looking for volunteers. Please contact kate.r.ast@gmail.com if you are interested.
