As we pass the winter solstice and the days start getting longer (but still cold), here is a quick round up of in-person indoor meetings for parents with infants who might find going out in the winter hard (or anyone expecting a baby in the new year).

Do you want to volunteer to start one for Arlington Family Connection?

We are also looking for volunteers to help run our own halloween event, Too Cute to Spook, if you're interested. Drop us an email at events@arlingtonfamilyco
