Comments:

From Jennifer Hungerford who helped me start a little non-profit in Missoula. We were making a chapter of an International organization call MOMS Club. The MOMS Club people gave me an award and then told me we were a rouge group and needed to follow their rules. So, eventually, I went back and convinced the ladies in charge to break off from the parent organization and make the PLAY Network. It is stronger than ever these days.
