P.S. Perhaps "boogie" is an overstatement. Perhaps "joyfully trolling" would be more accurate....
Mom's Night Out: ornament exchange at B&N, 12/17/07
A night out at Barnes & Noble for an ornament exchange, complete with birthday brownies and lively conversation! We got kicked out of B&N after they closed, and a handful of us made our way across the street to Applebee's for more chatting and laughs (and a mixed bag, food-wise). We closed THAT venue, and two of us boogied our way down the aisles at Wegmans.

Metro Justice Alternative Fair, 11/30 & 12/1/07
HMN Rochester had a table at the Metro Justice Alternative Fair on 11/30 & 12/1/07 at the First Unitarian Church on Winton Road. Lots of vendors and shoppers! Live holiday music! Moms and dads signing up as prospective members and businesses as resource alliance members! We had whole-grain vegan treats by Amy W. for sale as well as leather goods by Renata's brother. (Note for future events: Amy's 3-year-old daughter as barker had almost a 100% passerby-to-real-sale conversion rate! No adult can compete with that!) Thanks to all who volunteered to run the table on those two days.
