MOMS Club of Chandler East, Arizona ©: November 2009

About Our Club

Welcome:

Thanks for your interest in MOMS (MOMS Offering Moms Support) Club! Our chapter is very open to new members. In fact, you probably won’t be the only new person. We are growing month to month. Although some of us have lived here for years, some of us are new to the area or new to MOMS Club. We all have one thing in common- MOMS Club introduced us to other moms like us...moms who became our friends!

About our Chapter:
We are a non-profit support group for stay-at-home moms or moms that work part time. Some of our activities include a monthly recipe exchange, park days, smaller playgroups, monthly “field trips/activities” for the kids, and a Moms Night Out (our only non-kid event). We are also involved in community projects to benefit Chandler families and children. (i.e. donations, fundraisers, volunteer work)

Meetings:
All of our meetings and almost all activities are during the day, when at-home mothers need the support. Activities take place at public venues (such as a local park, restaurant, or stores) and others are hosted by members in their homes (such as recipe exchanges and play dates).

Bring your child(ren):
Our only non-child event is our monthly MNO (Moms Night Out). Otherwise, children are expected and encouraged to come! You don’t have to bring your child(ren) to attend an event, but if you do please remember that you are responsible for their safety and behavior. Sometimes, a member volunteer may watch the children (such as at the Monthly Business Meeting), but most of the time we are all together, mothers and children.

Dues:
As part of the International MOMS Club, we do have a membership fee of $25.00. This fee is due each year the same month as the month you join the club. You may attend two public events before deciding to become a member. We understand that being an at-home mom may mean a tight budget for your family. If the dues would be a hardship, please talk to one of your board members.

November MNO

What a loud night we had that was filled with lots of laughter Tempe's dueling piano bar. The Big Bang Bar was so much fun and we all left with dry throats from singing for over 3 hours with the crowd and participating in the fun.

Horizon Bay Service Project!

For the last three days we have gone to the Horizon Bay Nursing Home for a very fun service project. The kids get dressed up in their Halloween costumes and parade around the sitting area. Lots of the residence come down to see them before lunch and we all have fun interacting. We had a great turn out again this year and lots of cute costumes! Looking forward to doing this again next year!

Off we goooooooooooooooo!

Mom's Morning Out

This last month we tried something new for our MNO activity. Instead of heading out for the evening we decided to get together in the morning. 5 of us went to the Country Cottage Café & Gift Shop in Gilbert. The atmosphere is so much fun and the food was delicious. We had a great time catching up and enjoyed a relaxing brunch.
