FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I sign up for activities?
As a potential member please contact us and let us know that you are interested in attending an activity. We will give you a list of the upcoming activities and ask that you let us know which you are planning on attending. Potential members may attend two meetings or activities before they decide to join. Activities are listed on the calendar, which is distributed to all of our members.
What activities will we have each month?
Every month we have a member meeting (speaker, discussion, service project or fun activity), a MOMS Night Out, playdates, story times, zoo trips, stroller walks and other various activities.
Am I expected to come to every activity?
Of course not! Members pick and choose which activities fit into their schedule. We plan the calendar in advance, so you can easily schedule which activities you would like to do each month.
Who runs our MOMS Club?
We have an Executive Board of 5 volunteer moms: President, Administrative Vice President, Membership Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. All serve for a term of 1 year. Annual elections are held in June. In addition, there are many opportunities for any of our members to serve in leadership roles within the club. If you are interested in becoming more involved in the club, please contact us.
Can I bring my children?
Children are welcome at every MOMS Club function with the exception of MOMS Night Out and our annual end of year banquet (small nursing children are always welcome).
Are there babysitters at MOMS Club events?
Normally, no. Our events are typically structured so moms can attend while also caring for their child(ren). Occasionally, we will ask for a mom volunteer or two to monitor the kids while mom listens to a speaker at a member meeting.
Where do our dues go?
Your dues go to several club expenses. We use the money towards expenses incurred performing service projects. Dues are also spent on office and operating expenses such as postage, copying costs, office supplies, and open house expenses. A small portion (15% or less) goes toward member only benefits, like party expenses. Some of the dues also cover a nominal fee per member to International MOMS Club annually to cover the costs for running the whole organization.
Are there any additional costs besides dues?
Some of our activities are free while others have a small cost associated with them. For example, if we meet at a local bounce place, ice cream parlor, coffee shop, etc., you are responsible for the cost of yourself and your child(ren). We also attend a few tours each year, like an apple orchard, pumpkin picking, etc., that have a small cost associated with them. Sometimes we have potlucks and request that each member bring something with them. Overall, we try to keep a nice balance of free and low cost events. We know that many of us have made considerable financial sacrifices to stay at home. We try to take that into account when planning events.
What will I get out of this? What will my child(ren) get out this?
Two words: Social Interaction. You'll get to speak with other adults and your child(ren) will get to play with other kids. Overall, your experience with the MOMS Club is really up to you and what you decide to participate in.
