Shalom Baby Playgroup Celebrates 10 Year Reunion


From our first meeting in September 2005, our babies have continued to grow up together - learning and developing and preserving the friendships and bonds built a decade ago. Fate and the unparalleled, unique nature of the Shalom Baby mission brought us together. Indeed, we are thrilled to have celebrated our 10-year Shalom Baby reunion this month. Thank you Shalom Baby, for bringing us together. We are eternally grateful for the lifelong connections that we have formed.
