June Brunch Rocked!

We had another successful brunch this month! This time, we asked our FCWs to invite the FCMs in our lives - F-ing Cool MEN! Hey, the FCW Society is about promoting love amongst women, but we want to give the men in our lives props too (at least every once in a while). There were quite a few cool people there, standing around, chatting, drinking beer in the park (gasp!), and juggling. Juggling? Yes, there was juggling. One of my FCMs, Rod, is a part of the group The Flying Karamazov Brothers. He and another fabulous juggler FCM, Tom, were entertaining us all with their circus antics.
We also had a few new FCWs join us too! Hannah and her sister, Leah, and Marjorie's friend Laura... welcome aboard. And it was great to see some FCWs return that we've missed for a while too.

All in all, it was a wonderful day. We stayed in the park from 12 noon till about 7pm! Wow! You can check out the pictures here.

ALSO - We raised $45 for the NYC Alliance Against Sexual Assault. Great job, everyone.

xoxo Court.
