PROFILE

Welcome to DK-Mom-NY, which is a group for Danish Women - With or without children, living in the greater NY area.

We are all from Denmark. We are all living in the Tri-State area. (NY, NJ, CT, PA) Many of us have American husbands and have made the US our new home country, however, in our hearts we will always be Danish.

Being in a cultural mixed relationship gives other "problems" and we feel it is important to have a network of Danish girls, who might be able to understand some issues our American friends cannot relate to, simply because they do not come from the same cultural background.

Please do not be fooled by the name; we are more than just a bunch of women, sitting around discussing diapers and baby bottles. We have a lot of arrangements, which are of interest for both women with and women without kids, such as girls-night-out, Danish movie nights and different get-togethers.

OUR GOALS

- To create a network of Danish moms, whose purpose is to teach our children about our Danish heritage and support each other in teaching Danish to our children and basically pass on our Danish traditions.

- To find new girlfriends with the same cultural background, who can understand how sad it can be when you just ate your last Piratos or who might have that recipe for Leverpostej that you are craving for.

- To discuss everything e.g. cultural differences, Danish music classes, everyday problems, bilingualism, immigration and legal issues, work related questions, homesickness, pregnancy and birth, food etc.

- To plan social events such as our annual Julefrokost, Fastelavnsfest, St. Hansfest and basically get together with other Danes to have a good time and enjoy an ice cold Carlsberg.

Once we have received an intro (who you are, where you come from, what brought you here for instance.) which tell us a little bit about you and your family, then you will be a full member of the group and have access to all our files, pictures, and the daily mails.
