Past and present Natomas Mothers’ Group members gathered recently to celebrate the group’s 25th anniversary supporting families in the community. Youngsters enjoyed Olympic-style games, a bounce house, playground and visit from a local fire truck.
Sacramento Vice Mayor Angelique Ashby and Assemblyman Roger Dickinson joined the festivities to present resolutions recognizing Natomas Mothers’ Group accomplishments over the past 25 years.
Nearly 70 people attended the event at Witter Ranch Park.
Members of the all-volunteer group meet multiple times a week to play and go on field trips. Member moms boast friendships developed during their years in the group often continue for years after their children enter school and grow up.
While the group’s focus is the children, the moms who volunteer their time to coordinate the activities and annual community project opportunities. Natomas Mothers’ Group has participated in both re-builds of the Fort Natomas playground and has supported organizations such as Tubman House, WEAVE and Make-A-Wish Foundation.
