Two years ago, our ambitious friend and founder, Meghan, started this wonderful mom's group because she would "see other moms in Brookfield and the surrounding areas and want to stop and meet them all." Today, we are over 100 members strong and still growing!  Our calendar is packed with fun events almost daily (weekends & evenings, too).  Whether you are looking for park play dates, trips to the zoo, holiday themed parties, backyard play groups, a book club, exercise buddies, or mom and/or dad' …

I love to read and would love to belong to a book club. I live in Hyde Park and would like to form a group with people that live in the same general area. We could get together once a month (or every other month) to discuss a chosen book and enjoy each other's company. I'm in my 50's, but it would be great to have members of various ages join the club.

Sometimes being a geek girl is a lonely experience. It's hard connect with other women when they're staring at you funny because you're trying to explain your theory that the nature of a child's mutation stems partially from genetics as seen in Polaris and Magneto, but mostly from some sort of trauma before puberty - the time in which most mutants first exhibit abilities. Ex: Nightcrawler wanted to disappear because of his demonic appearance, and he did. You flashed 'em a little bit of your geek …

There are a few other book clubs out there, but not many in the NW corner of the city.  I struggled to find one that was just for women and had spots available at their upcoming events.  So, I started my own group.
