I Remember Mama
On May 7th, 2011, Volunteers of America Massachusetts celebrated its 16th Annual “I Remember Mama” luncheon at the Hilton Boston Logan Hotel with nearly 300 senior mothers. "I Remember Mama" is an annual Mother's Day celebration that acknowledges the multiple ways women nurture their families, their communities, and the world-at-large.
The "I Remember Mama" Luncheon genuinely lifted the spirits of each mother in attendance and provided an unforgettable afternoon of fine dining, gifts, entertainment and companionship. The ladies who attended, truly enjoyed this day of special recognition, and most importantly, the knowledge that they are appreciated by their community.

This year's "I Remember Mama" provided a day of happiness to women, who for a variety of reasons, would have otherwise been alone or forgotten on Mother's Day. This event has been hosted by WCVB-TV Channel 5 News Anchor, Susan Wornick and her mother Myrna Billian for 16 years. 
Joining us again to share their appreciation and admiration for our seniors contributions to the city of Boston were the Honorable Mayor Thomas Menino and his wife Angela Menino.
Our other guest speakers at the celebration included Councilor Stephen J. Murphy from the City of Boston, our 15 year volunteer, Michael Satterwhite, and Diana Sampson, a graduate from the Hello House for Women.
