Mommy Needs a Cocktail Event at MELT
Back by popular demand, Momasphere is thrilled to invite you to our second bi-monthly Mommy Needs Cocktail evening at Melt, for some good laughs and an opportunity to mingle and network with a fabulous group of New York City moms of ALL ages.
Comedians, spoken word artists & authors (all moms) will share their sometimes hilarious/ sometimes touching trials & tribulations of motherhood. After the performance, there will be more time to network and mingle. A portion of the proceeds from this event will go to Children Of The City.
Melt will offer one free signature cocktail (or mocktail) and hors d'oeuvres throughout the evening and there will be great raffles and goodie bags (including a free Fall Hybrid Mom magazine!).
