  Since the weather is getting better we will be having our next parent cafe in-person! We will be meeting outside at the pagoda at Welle's Park which is in walking distance to the DANK (and several coffee shops) at 8:30ish in the morning right after dropping off the little ones at Kinderschule.

  Our next meeting will be on Thursday, May 27, at 8:30 AM at Welle's Park (2333 W Sunnyside Ave, Chicago 60625, find us near the Pagoda next to the playground).
