Greetings to all the mothers, grandmothers, mothers-in-law, step-
moms, foster moms, auntie-moms, sister-moms, pet moms, and... to
all the daughters – because each and every one of us is a daughter...
who had a mother!
Our theme for the month of May is – Bonbons! Figuratively speaking,
nothing too academic or too serious. May at WF will start off with a
beautiful mama whom we have known for most of our lives. Her
presence in the movies we grew up with and in the fan magazines we pored over
established her as one of the artistic role models and icons of her time. A quirky
and endearing documentary about the indomitable Sophia Loren is our first
Bonbon for the Women's Forum Mother's Day Luncheon, Thursday,
May 4 at noon. (Admission is $20.)
Continuing our theme ~ The birthplace of Bonbons, in fact the
Bonbonniere to the world ~Paris ~ is the setting for our second May
gathering, beginning with a little history about the redesigning of Paris by
Napoleon III and his prefect of Seine, George Eugene Haussmann - the person
responsible for restructuring the layout and much of the architectural splendor of
that city from 1853-70. We'll have a tour of a beautiful Haussmannian apartment
that has been home to a talented maman – a designer, and her family of six
children for over twenty years. She is as delightful as her place - a charming
reflection of her flair and her travels and her stories. The WF ~ Paris in May
Luncheon ~ is on Thursday May 18 at noon. (Admission is $20).
