Are You A Bad Mom?

On Wednesday, November 2nd, 30 wonderful moms joined us at the Prospector Theatre for a client appreciation night. Featuring a fabulous Bad Moms Signature Cocktail, the Prospector Star Bar welcomed us with open arms and a wonderful night of camaraderie was had by all.

Having been a supporter of the Prospector since it’s inception – and the inspiring work of Sphere before that – I am always amazed by the drive and ingenuity of fearless leader Val Jensen. The opportunities the Propsector offers to adults with disabilities serves as a role model for what can be done regionally, nationally and internationally to improve the lives of so many people.

A seriously funny movie, we found ourselves relating to the “Bad Mom” in all of us as we laughed out loud and shared in the challenges of our busy lives.

Thanks, Bad Moms, for joining us and celebrating all we do!
