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.

Annual NICU Cookies

Way to go moms! We made 110 DOZEN cookies for the Cardon Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Four of us moms went and delivered all the boxes for the patients, families, and staff that are in the NICU. They loved getting the well wishes from us and yummy treats. Thanks to everyone that made and/or bought sweets and helped box them all up.
Having fun delivering cookies!

End of the year party!

What a fun year our club has had. Many of us enjoyed a fun evening at the splash pad with our families recently. We even had a few ducks show up to join the fun. They were a hit with the kids and made us all crack up when they too would go into the water. We enjoyed a pizza dinner and otter pops and hanging out with our friends.
Fun in the Sun!

Marley Farm's Petting Zoo

What a fun petting zoo a bunch of us went to. There were so many animals and a very large camel that was so gentle. The kids and moms had fun feeding the pigs, llamas, horses, a half donkey-half horse, the camel, sheep, goats, an ostrich, and little pony. We look forward to going back in the fall.

Story time with Author Conrad Storad

What a fun Kids Activity Day we had last week. A well known local author, Conrad Storad, came to read two of his books and sign some of his books. It was a beautiful day out and we enjoyed listening to him read his new book "Rattlesnake Rules". We then had a fun question/answer session with his snake puppet. Afterward he read "Don't Call Me Pig" his most well known book. After the story time he signed books for the kids and showed us many more of the books he has written.

Singleton Moms Trike-a-Thon

Last weekend we held a trike-a-thon to raise money for Singleton Moms. Singleton Moms is a charity in the area that we have paired up with for the year. The kids raised money the weeks prior and then raised even more money at the event. They rode their bikes, trikes, and scooters around the park and after each lap put a quarter in the jar for the charity. The kids had a blast adding more and more money. We also had a fun time with the two Chandler Bike Cops that came to speak to the kids and ride with them. They learned about bike safety and got certificates signed by them. After the fun and games we enjoyed a pizza dinner with our friends and families. We were very excited when we learned that we raised $600.00 and are glad we could help out a fellow mom in need.
