The truth, your first pregnancy and new mom months are full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and lots of questions! None of us really know the best way to do it – we just figure it out, together…

Mamistad Saturday Zoom Calls are a chance for moms who are pregnant with their first baby, or recently welcomed their first baby to meet, connect and learn how easy it is to find their own mom tribe with others due within months of their due date. Since 2005 Mamistad groups have become family communities that have often lasted well into our babies’ teenage years!

There’s no cost to join us – you have nothing to lose and a lifetime of friendship to gain!

After a two-year hiatus, the book sale of the year has returned, Sunday Feb. 12, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Hundreds if not thousands of used books for every age and taste at amazing prices! Every genre will be represented: from science fiction and mysteries to classics, history and politics, to young readers and kids. Bring your family — there is something for everyone, including a Valentine’s Day themed bake sale.

Valentine gifts for someone special or for yourself are here at George Mason University from noon -4pm on February 14, 2023. Satisfy your sweet tooth with Kingsbury Chocolates, find a handmade bag from Karina Gaull, pick up treats from Village Sweet, get a greeting card from FastSnail and top off with coffee from Northside Social. Gift yourself scented candles from Divine Healing and feed your spirit at Soul Good Kitchen.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, join us for a series of vignettes that revolve around the theme of love. Taking place in an almost-town called Almost, Maine, we will show you different, but important, facet of love in each scene: falling into it, falling out of it, muddling through it, and discovering it, to name a few. We hope that you will join us in this beautiful study of the human heart and allow us to dazzle you with TAP’s version of the Northern Lights. Please note that the performance on Saturday, February 11 will have Sign Language Interpretation
