ACCOMPLISHMENTS
We have joined mothers together to form a network of support; sharing knowledge, experience, ideas, efforts, resources, strength, hope, and prayers. Individually, we often feel hopeless. Collectively, with the spirit of good to guide us, we can accomplish more and more. Through our associations, we have exchanged moral support, professional resource contacts, hosted and participated in educational conferences, reform movements for family violence issues, and fundraising ideas for legal fees. For more details, you can view a list of our past annual conferences and other past events.

MEETINGS
Currently, MOLC meetings are being held bi-monthly on Thursday evenings.

After the regular meeting, a new self-help Mothers Anonymous meeting is now meeting for support to mothers interested in participating.

Contact the Sacramento chapter for details.

The newly forming Sonoma County chapter held their first meeting in November 2000. Contact the Sonoma County chapter for more information.

CONFERENCES
The main event co-sponsored by Mothers of Lost Children and California Protective Parents Association is the annual Northern California Child Sexual Abuse Awareness Conference.

The conference is a NO-COST, no-registration, conference for members of the public, professionals in all aspects of child welfare and treatment, survivors, pro survivors, and protective parents. MC LE and CEU credits are offered.

It is well-attended each year, extremely informative, and an excellent networking resource. All are welcome. Lunch is available at the conference for a small donation.

The conference is held at the Veterans' Memorial Center, 203 E 14 th Street, Davis. (From I-80, take Richards Blvd exit, north under the railroad tunnel, left on First Street, right on B Street and continue to 14 th. The Center is directly in front.)

The conference is held each year in early April. See below for details about the upcoming conference. For information on past conferences and events, see our Calendar History page.
