ABOUT THE EVENT
Commemorative
Mother's Day Dinner
What if the story of a nation is also the story of its mothers?
This year, as we mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we invite you to a special Commemorative Mother’s Day Dinner under the theme “Mothers of a New Nation.” It is an evening to honor not only the women who helped shape the beginnings of our country, but also the mothers, grandmothers, and spiritual mothers who continue to shape our lives today.
Come celebrate the women who give life, sustain hope, carry love across generations and witness strength, faith, and quiet courage.
The evening will be enlivened by the presence and music of the band:
"The Bad Habits."
