MONA offers a wide range of events. Our monthly social, held on the second Saturday of every month, is open to the public and a great way to meet MONA members. For our members, we host all kinds of local, discounted kid-friendly activities, annual family picnics, moms’ nights out, speaker events, shopping events, interest group meet-ups, and training and educational events, just to name a some.
MONA does not want dues to be a barrier to membership for anyone who meets our membership criteria and will make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Contact our administrative manager for more information.
