MEET THE FORT WORTH COMADRES

MEET THE FORT WORTH COMADRES  

Imelda Rocha is the Facilitator for the Fort Worth Comadres, with former facilitators Rebecca Castro (14 years) and Mona Chavez (10 years) providing support.

The Fort Worth Comadres Network is 14 years old.  They meet once a month, usually on the third Saturday of the month from 10 to 11:30am.  They meet at a Comadre’s home, or a public place with a private room.  During this past year, they have met at the Botanical garden, museum of art, boat ride to an island in a lake, public library, restaurant, and many other interesting places. 

“Comadrazos are fun no matter the place!,” says Imelda.   And, she’s right.  Texas is big and Fort Worth Comadres can drive up to 40 miles one way to attend a Comadrazo.  Now, that’s dedication!

MEET THE TENNESSEE COMADRES 

by

Their facilitator for the past 11 years has been Viviana “Vivi” Aureille, but the group is 16 years old. They get together once a month, usually on Saturdays.  

Their Comadrazos are exclusively in Spanish, and they’ve brought people together to form smaller groups for all sorts of fun activities. From traveling together, catching a movie, discovering new restaurants, and celebrating weddings to hiking and paddleboarding—there’s always something exciting happening! 

The Tennessee Comadres were visible at this year’s Worldwide Comadrazo & 25th Anniversary Celebration in Austin, Texas.  Their group leader Vivi was a finalist for 2025 Nora Award – Comadre of the Year.  She didn’t win but she’s always a winner to her group.
