Expecting parents and parents of newborns are invited to join the new Mamas and Papas group at the Co-op. We’ll get together around 9 a.m. each Wednesday in the Co-op Deli area to enjoy complimentary drinks from the Deli, informal conversation and laughs, and the presence of one or more Co-op volunteers or staff who also happen to be experienced parents and can share their experiences and offer moral support. (Please note: Co-op staff can’t dispense medical advice!) Occasionally, we’ll bring in special guests, too.

If you’re interested in joining us, please sign up for our e-mail group by e-mailing This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it . We’ll communicate meeting times, info about special guests, and sometimes send you special coupons or offers.

If you are interested in being the coordinator for the group as a Co-op volunteer, a guest speaker, or are an experienced parent who would like to attend, please e-mail me at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it .

When you sign up, please let us know your baby’s expected due date or actual date of birth, and we’ll present you at the appropriate time with a goody bag of samples and merchandise to help you welcome your new bundle of joy!
