Mom Always Says

Mom Always Says is a storytelling event celebrating all facets of motherhood, from those who are mothers, and those who have mothers, to those who have lost mothers. Familes can enjoy a beautiful and inspiring night in honor of Mother's Day. We are telling stories to change the stories of so many children by raising funds for CASA of Kent County: Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children. Mom Always Says is underwritten by Fountain Street Church and will be held in their Social Hall on Saturday, May 5. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the program will start at 7:00 p.m. Ticket prices include a charcuterie buffet and light beverages. The keynote speaker is Caitlin Horrocks, a Grand Rapids author of the story collections Life Among the Terranauts and This Is Not Your City, both New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice selections. The Wall Street Journal named her novel The Vexations one of the Ten Best Books of 2019. Her stories and essays appear in The New Yorker, The Best American Short Stories, The PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories, The Pushcart Prize, The Paris Review, One Story, and other journals and anthologies. We also have a lineup of exciting local storytellers who will share their experiences. *Because of our commitment to CASA, we will not be able to offer refunds.
