MomCafe Toronto inaugural session

I attended this morning the inaugural event of MomCafe in Toronto. MomCafe provides a forum to connect women through meetings, seminars and internet-based communication tools and they had their 1st meeting this morning at One Up, 130 Dundas Street West. The purpose of this group, dedicated to working moms or stay-home moms, is either to share experiences or network with other moms or just get out of the house doing something good to your brain:) This morning we had the chance to listen to 2 speakers or I'd rather say 2 wonder women: Caroline Connell, Editor-in-chief for Today's Parent Magazine and Sarah Morgenstern, co-founder and publisher for SavvyMom Media. They basically do it all and that was good to hear in person that it's possible:)
It is also encouraging to see that even though you are a mom you can still participate in good conversation:)
Event ran from 9.30 to 11.30am, for non-members cost was $35 + tax and child care was provided for an additional $10 from Kids & Company. Breakfast complimentary.
Annual membership to MomCafe is $99 and you get access to online tools, valuable resources, new connections and discounts on upcoming events.
Not sure when the next event is scheduled for in Toronto but they look pretty active in Calgary and Vancouver where they first launched.
