MOMS
Club Sherman Oaks/Van Nuys GETTING THE MOST FROM
YOUR MEMBERSHIP WELCOME!
We are so
glad you have joined the MOMS Club. As
a member of a supported club (not a service club), we rely on the participation
of our members to make the group successful and fun.
Please volunteer to help - remember this is your club! Monthly
newsletters with calendars of events are mailed to each member.
To stay informed of these events, please mark your personal calendar as
soon as you receive your newsletter. Feel
free to call any board member or contact person with any questions you may have
about the club or events. Most
moms join the club because they are looking for friends.
We find the quickest way to make friends is to get involved as soon as
you join. The variety of special
talents and ideas that each member brings helps to keep the club and its events
dynamic. GENERAL CLUB
INFORMATION Here’s
how the club works - being a non-profit club, and a non-service club, we rely on
the participation and support of all our members to keep it going.
The officers and committee posts are volunteer and are never paid.
Annual dues cover club expenses such as printing, postage, national club
dues, and miscellaneous. Now
that you have joined you will be mailed a monthly newsletter, calendar of
events, and any other current information.
The rest is up to you! You
are free to participate in as much or as little as you are able, but you will
only get as much out of the club as you put into it. Every Mom brings to the group a unique talent and personality
that can be utilized by the club. Many
Moms find that club involvement helps to fill a void that used to be filled with
employment outside of the home. Others
just find a great way to make close friends.
Whatever your reasons are, we’re glad to have you as a member and look
forward to working with you. We
urge all members to attend events regularly, especially Monthly Socials, and to
help out as often as they can. Each
member should volunteer for a committee or to help with an event at least once a
year. Here are a few areas in which
you might like to get involved.
