5/9/14 - Memories, perspectives, and humor about being a mom was shared with dozens of women from around the area in Howell last night. âMommologues: Musings on Motherhoodâ was held for the first time yesterday at the Howell Opera House. The live presentation featured local speakers and benefitted LACASA. The event was emceed and co-produced by Mona Shand, and included eight other speakers who shared their viewpoints and stories about motherhood. Speakers included blogger Maria Stuart, local chef Renee Chodkowski, also known as the Great Foodini; Howell Area Chamber of Commerce President Pat Convery and local authors David Hayes and Cindy Spencer Pape. While many of the stories were humorous or touching, they also included a sad reminder of the late Dominic Calhoun, a local 4-year-old, as a reminder of the importance of mothers and the value of services like those offered through LACASA. Shand says she hopes more events like Mommologues can be held in the future to continue supporting the domestic abuse prevention and recovery programs of LACASA. (TD)
