MOM CAMP - SPECIAL EVENT!
While dropping off their kids at summer camp, the ladies at The Slate thought “why isn’t there a Mom Camp?” So, they created it: a morning to meet fellow parents, snack, learn, and enjoy a fun activity.
The 8th annual Mom Camp is on Friday, May 8 at 9 a.m. You’ll hear from two OB/GYNs on Methodist Dallas’ medical staff, Catherine Daniel, DO, and Jennifer Teague, MD, busting myths about women’s health. And we’re doing it all with a bingo twist! Awesome prizes are up for grabs.
Click here to sign up for $25. Specialty coffee, light breakfast bites, and giveaways included!
