New York Comadres had a fabulous time Tuesday, September 2 when Founder, Nora Comstock joined them for a special Comadrazo sponsored by New York City Comadres.
Nora helped promote the book launch for Silvia Acevedo, one of our comadres.
Also of note was the generosity of the NYC Comadres who donated school supplies for a local elementary school, providing the children with many necessary tools like pencils, notebooks, crayons, and more.
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!

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.
Hot Stuff! New York City Comadres gathered at the Donna Summer Tribute in Forest Park, Queens, and stayed until the Last Dance. There was lots of singing and dancing, and boogie oogie oogie till they just couldn’t boogie no more!
