| We had a busy couple of weeks here at metroMAMA. We welcome some great new sponsors including Bay State Blades, ala Mode, Worcester Center for Crafts, SPARC, Holistic Moms Network and more. These sponsors keep the site free for moms and we appreciate them! Sarah Kyriazis, President and Founder of metroMAMA was on tour. Even though she is 5 weeks away from her due date with her third child, she hasn't stopped. She participated in the Blackstone Canalfest and stART on the Street. Both were great Worcester Street Fairs. She was also interviewed by Jennifer Roy of Charter Cable Channel 3 News on Thursday, September 13th! You can catch it on Charter On Demand, Channel 999 if you missed it. We are working on getting the piece up on the site this week. On Wednesday, she is also being interviewed by Ramona Pokoly, details to follow! | | | Newsletter Sponsors |  |
