Adult-only time at the MFR! You care for others all day- come do something just for yourself!

Share a high point and low point from your week if desired, but not necessary! Led By MFR member and cofounder, art therapist and grandmother Rebecca Mooney. Please RSVP so we can plan for supplies!

This is the last room cleaning of the membership year. Every family must complete one room cleaning per year. Please bring a roll of paper towels and/or Clorox wipes with you. As a reminder, ALL members must participate in a cleaning as a condition of their membership renewal. The cleaning takes about an hour -- many hands make light work!
