MOMS Club of Chandler East, Arizona ©: November 2011

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.

Family Night out to benifit "Singleton Moms"

Last Monday night we had our benefit night out to raise money for Singleton Moms.

A portion of our dinner bill and dessert bill went to the organization. We had a great time eating together at Garcia's. We had a great turn out and after dinner enjoyed dessert at Taste-d-lite.

No double dipping. :)

Our Annual Halloween Parade at the Nursing Home

This year at least half of the club attended the fun activity at a local nursing home. We have been going to the same one for years and always have a great time. The kids came dressed up in their Halloween costumes and many moms had Halloween hats and/or shirts on. The residence of the home each had a bag to hand out to one child with a juice box, sticker book, little toy and fruit snacks. It was so much fun talking with the residents and watching the kids interact. Can't wait to do it again next year!
