Founded in 1999, The Mother Link, Inc. was created for the purpose of educating, advocating and supporting women in their role as mothers.
The overall mission is:
- To recognize the important role of mothers in the nurture and care of their children and the family.
- Provide educational and support programs for mothers of all ages as well as opportunities for community service and emphasize the role of mothers as teachers of children, care of the home and the important role they play in the community, nation and the world.
- To provide a strong voice on issues that concern family and children.
Since its inception the organization has been actively involved in supporting community, church and civic organizations through support of their programs, creation and implementation of mother/daughter workshops, teas and retreats as a way of carrying out its mission.
In 2010 the Annual Mother Daughter Tea Day was created with a primary focus of helping women and girls to recognize their value and importance in their individual homes, communities and globally.
In recognition of the 2011 event the following FAQ was created:
What is the Event?
The 2nd Annual National Mother Daughter Tea Day. This is a “wherever you are” tea for women and girls in places around the United States and select countries around the world. This event will be highlighted in 12 major cities around the country and in London, England at hosted tea events on that day.
When will the event be held?
Each year the event is held the first Sunday of May at 4:00 p.m. This year’s event will be held on Sunday, May 1, 2011. At this time women and girls will convene for one hour and share a cup of tea and have a conversation.
What is the theme of this year’s event?
The theme of this year’s event is Women Are Talking. The goal and purpose of this year’s theme is to get women and girls talking about the things that concern us as females. Women across this nation and in London, England will join hands and hearts to discuss things such as relationships, health, finances and spiritual matters. During this gathering we will openly and lovingly begin a national dialogue to encourage and strengthen women and girls in every home and neighborhood on this historic day.
