Parenting & Politics Breakfast, this morning.

MAU is non-partisan, and does not endorse candidates.

It does, however, endorse active mother involvement in linking the personal and political. Here's a great opportunity to do just that.



Why does being political matter? How can I juggle civic commitments and parenting? How does parenting inform my politics?

Please join us for a discussion of Parenting and Politics on Wednesday, May 9
10:00-11:30 a.m.
1808 West End Avenue
(there will be signs in the building directing you to the event)

Former Tennessee House Majority Leader and Senior Advisor to Governor Phil Bredesen
Kim McMillan will join us in reflecting on her own challenges in rearing two children while working in politics

Ms. McMillan will then be joined by a panel of other active parents to discuss their own Parenting and Politics

Kristine LaLonde will moderate the discussion

Coffee, pastries, juice boxes, and fruit will be provided.


There will be childcare available, including arts and crafts.

The event is free and open to everyone. We are, however, soliciting sponsors for the event. For $25 you can help defray the costs of this activity; your name or the name of your organization will be recognized on the program.

Although RSVPs are not required, they will be helpful (please include the number of children and their ages).

Just email me directly at kristinelalonde@yahoo.com to let me know that you can come. Please forward this to any interested parents.


Sponsored by the Davidson County Democratic Party
