The Wellesley Mothers Forum is pleased to offer the following two lecture series for the 2008-2009 season. Lecture Series I is geared toward mothers of children 0 to 3 years, while lecture Series II is intended for mothers of children ages 4 to 8. These two distinct lecture series make it possible to target the needs of our audience and create a smaller more intimate environment for meeting other mothers. Meetings for both groups are usually held on the second Tuesday or Wednesday of each month, from October to May. A social hour with refreshments begins at 7:00 p.m. and the lectures begin at 8:00 p.m.
Lectures are held at the Wellesley Country Club.
Directions: From Rt. 16 take Forest St. (where Bertucci's Restaurant is located) and follow Forest St. until you reach the four-way stop sign intersection. Take a left onto Wellesley Ave. The Country Club is about 500 feet on your left (please enter the Club via Wellesley Ave.). Click here for a map.
Please note that lectures and locations are subject to change.
