Who We Are
We are a woman-owned business creating events in Alexandria, Virginia, that focus on bringing together families, giving you an easy path to much-needed community support, connections and friendships.
The acronym “PAK” stands for Parents And Kids and is used as an inclusive term for moms, dads, kids, grandparents and other caregivers.
What We Do
Through paid memberships, we offer private access to events, a member directory, online discussions, forums and more. We also host events open to non-members, create custom activity and craft kits, and curate helpful resources and itineraries for families.
Meet Our Team
| Sarah Parker Founder & Owner Sarah became a stay-at-home mom in 2017 and found it difficult to find a reliable community, a group of friends, a sense of belonging. So she created The PAK Network to fill a void that so many parents like herself were facing. Originally from Ohio, Sarah has worked in event planning, customer service and public relations for over 20 years. She is usually on-the-go and enjoys gardening, traveling and spending time with her family. Fun Fact: Sarah is a licensed tour guide and specializes in Washington, DC and Cuba. |
| Adele Coble Operations & Member Engagement Mom to Huey (8) and Rhysie (6), Adele has worked for 20 years in nonprofits that serve women, children and youth. She is originally from Oklahoma and Missouri and moved to the Alexandria area without many friends. Adele heard about The PAK Network from another mom at a playground and it has been life changing! For fun, Adele enjoys plants, pets and social justice. Fun Fact: Adele is named after a movie, The Story of Adele H., based on the journals of Victor Hugo's daughter. |
