What a great year it has been for us with the support of our local parents and businesses here on Long Island. We look forward to all that 2016 has in store.
We had an amazing time with our local families, supporting local businesses and charities throughout 2015. We have began planting seeds of awareness, respect and diversity in order to cultivate and promote inclusion and acceptance within the community and will continue to do so with all of you. Thank you for being part of our Momee Friends Network..
