We offer our members activities such as field trips to help you explore the world with your children. We have both Playgroups and Open Play Park Days so that the kids can make friends and learn how to interact with others. We offer a MOMS Night Out so we can get to know each other better and get out of the house alone once in awhile.

We also have a support system in place for you when you need it: during pregnancy, after the birth during pregnancy, after the birth of a new baby, in the event of an illness in the family, etc. We also give back to our other women and children in our community by performing a yearly service project.

This club is here for you and we have so much to offer - we hope you get a lot out of it!

About the Moms Club:

MOMS Club International information (from the MOMS Club website www.momsclub.org):

  • Founded 1983

    •
  • We now have over 2,000 chapters with more than 100,000 members across the United States. We also have International chapters starting too!

    Goals:
  • To provide a support group for mothers who choose to stay at home to raise their children
  • To provide a forum for topics of interest to mothers
  • To help children in the community
  • To perform at least one service project yearly helping needy children

    Principles:
  • That women must be free to choose their personal path to fulfillment
  • That, for women who choose it, raising children is an important and fulfilling full-time job
  • That a family's decision for a mother to stay at home to raise the children often involves considerable financial sacrifice
  • That there is no one right way to raise children, but our members have a common concern in raising their children in a healthful way

    • Q: How do I find out what's going on in the Club?
    A: The Members Monthly Newsletter is your first source for upcoming events and announcements. If you are a member, it will be emailed to you prior to the start of the month, or the secretary will mail it to you. It is important to try to attend the Members' Meeting each month to stay involved in what is going on in the club. At our meetings we vote on important issues and your opinion counts!

    Q: Can my children really come to everything with me? What about kids I baby-sit for?
    A: Yes, please bring your children to everything! Being a stay-at-home mom shouldn't keep you at home. (Most moms do choose to leave the kids with dad or a sitter for MOMS Night Out, but nursing infants are always welcome!) You may bring any children besides your own that you are responsible for as long as we have a signed liability release form on hand for each child. If needed, these can be obtained at the sign in table at the monthly meetings.

    Q: What do my dues pay for?
    A: We pay the International MOMS Club Corporation $2 per member per year to maintain our charter. In addition, your dues pay for your membership pin and the expense of our newsletter, such as printing and copying, along with other general supplies needed to run the chapter. Since we are a non-profit group, we can spend very little on parties, etc. and thus must rely on our membership to donate the time and supplies to make ourgatherings work, or to help with fund-raising events to raise the money for special events.

    Q: How much will the MOMS Club cost me?
    A: You do not need to spend any money besides your annual dues unless you choose to. Members Meetings, play groups, park days, and most activity groups are all free. Some field trips and MOMS Nights Out may cost additional funds, but we try to keep them reasonable. In addition, you may choose to bring snacks or a potluck dish to some gatherings, or donate craft supplies to a childrens' party, and the cost of those are up to you.

    Q: How can I get more involved?
    A: We rely on our members for everything, so your participation will be very appreciated. Call a coordinator or board member and ask to join their committee. Form a new activity group. Come to the Members' Meetings and share your ideas and opinions. This is YOUR club, and you will get out of it what you put into it.

    Q: Are there any "perks" to being in the MOMS Club?
    A: Sure! For one, we have an "In A Pinch" program that we encourage all our members to call upon when needed. "In A Pinch" may provide meals, babysitting, errands, etc. to any mom who needs it due to pregnancy, a new child, illness, etc. And of course, let's not discount the amazing friendships you and your kids will make through the MOMS Club and the memories you will make at our activities!!
