Sorry I missed the packing party just found this site. Could you let me know when the next function is? Spring Hill navy mom
Hi everyone. It was fantastic having everyone at the packing party! Come on over to http://www.navyformoms.com/group/mollysadoptasailorproject?commentI... and join our main room. We have ongoing adoptions monthly. Everyone across the country participates in what they can do and when they can do it - no pressure and it's a fabulous way to meet everyone. So much so that you'll be asking next year "what's your aka"...lol! Love the spirit and I'm so happy we have Tampa Bay moms coming together. Hugs to everyone!
Had a great time at Packing party and was nice to meet you Cori.
Glad u can make it JB'S mom it will be a great day for all of you! All of the Molly moms will be wearing pink I believe. I am just a helper from Florida in a pink shirt. I got mine last year......... Molly and some of the others have been doing this a long time. They are a great group of women :)
Is anyone planning on going to the packing party on Saturday? I am going. I can not miss it it is a lot of fun. They usually have food afterwards for everyone also. Please if u are free try and make it. It is fun and you get a great feeling out of helping someones son and daughter be a litttle bit happier when they open up the box full of goodies!!!!
P.S. see the adress below it's at the Army Navy club in Largo FL. off Walsingham Rd. Easy to find..... Hope to see some of u there....
