GGMG sponsors many different activities each month.  They're listed in our Events Calendar, posted to our members' online forum, printed in the newsletter, and promoted during our general meetings.

Social Events

Three times a year we host fantastic social events for our members and their families. We celebrate Halloween in late October, hop around in our Easter Egg Hunt in the spring, and say celebrate summer at our Summer Fair.

The events feature entertainment, activities, and goodie bags for the children. These events are very popular and we recommend an early registration so we can be sure to have enough of everything to make all our little guests happy.  More on our events can be found in our FAQ.


Just for Moms

Our Just-for-Moms Committee organizes events that are designed for moms (and sometimes dads) to enjoy without the children. Past events have included cooking classes, wine tastings, manicure/pedicure night, cake-decorating instruction, movie night, and dinners throughout the city. They require registration and pre-payment, if applicable, because space is limited. More in our FAQ.

Just-for-Moms events are the best way to get out of the house and connect with other moms *and* do something fun!

Kids Activities

The Kids Activities Committee plans group activities for moms and children every month. Popular recurring events include childrens music, gymnastics and yoga classes, museum tours and walks for moms and infants, berry and pumpkin picking trips, and the always popular visits to the firehouse.

Different activities are planned for our three target ages: newborn to walking, toddlers, and preschoolers. We require our members to register, and pay (if applicable) in advance for all Kids Activities events so we can secure group discounts, ensure we don't overbook an event, and adequately prepare for our members' enjoyment. More in our FAQ.

"I love the kids activities arranged by GGMG! Everything from etiquette classes to trapeze flying to regularly scheduled firehouse visits. It's a great way to try out new things with a friendly crowd!"

Right from the Start: Talking to Your Young Child about Sexuality
Are you starting to field questions from your child about sex? Are you unsure about how to talk about it? Come join us as Deborah Roffman, a longtime teacher of sexual education for both children and adults, helps us to break down this complicated subject and provides us with insights, tips and the "whys" and "hows" of talking to our young children about "the birds and the bees."

Deborah Roffman is a nationally certified and acclaimed sexuality and family life educator who has worked at the cutting edge of her field for more than 35 years. Author of Sex and Sensibility and But How'd I Get in There in the First Place?, she teaches human sexuality education in grades 4 through 12 in Baltimore.

Moms, dads, partners all welcome. Babes in arms are always welcome, too, but toddlers don't do well during our meetings.

*** A NOTE ABOUT STROLLERS: Due to fire code restrictions, strollers are not permitted inside the conference room. We strongly recommend that you leave strollers at home or bring babies in carriers only. If you bring your stroller, you would have to leave it in the hallway at your own risk (i.e. there will be other events taking place at the church and therefore folks roaming the halls. Also, we have been advised that because the church is "open," i.e. folks can come in from the street).
