When Ileana, a resident of Copperopolis since 2006 began a mom and me group two years ago, she never dreamed it would turn out to be so much more.
Relatively new to the area and pregnant with her second child Ileana told her husband, a Manteca firefighter, that she really wanted a place where moms could get together and socialize while the kids played. He prompted her by suggesting she start a group…Copper Moms was born.
Ileana said that Copper Moms is an “informal group, where kids can get together and interact…grow socially.” She also said the moms have developed great friendships out of this and the group has gone on to include coffee dates, Christmas parties, and family bbq’s, where the husbands finally get to meet the women their wives have been talking about, putting a face to a name.
Copper Moms is open to all moms and all ages of children, “if a mom needs networking we would love to have her.” One mom said it was her first visit and was immediately chatting with someone about kids and work while her child began playing in the sand with the other children. Currently there are 28 moms on the playgroup list but they are all hoping to add more…the more the merrier.
The play group is held at Blackcreek Park every Tuesday morning rain or shine at 9:30 am. If its raining the group meets in the hall but if its sunny the kids enjoy the fun, sand filled park.
