| About Us |
| Established in February 1997, the MOMS Club of Menomonee Falls is a local support group with members from Menomonee Falls, Lannon, and Sussex, Wisconsin. We have bi-monthly meetings where we share ideas and have informative and interactive speakers. We have planned outings to children's museums, area parks, pools, farms, zoos, gymnastic facilities, local businesses, as well as many other places. We have playgroups for infants to five- year-olds and activity groups for our moms. All of our outings are planned during the day when you need it most and where children are always welcome. We have activity groups such as the Scrapbooking group and abook club. Once a month we plan a MOMS Night out where the moms get out and have fun with their MOMS Club friends. We conduct at least one community service project per year to benefit children and mothers in need. If you are interested in our club, call 414-299-9825. Leave a message and someone will return your call. |

| Membership in the MOMS Club is open to all mothers who stay at home, at least part of the time with their children. Membership is open to all regardless of race, religion, politics, or financial status. We invite you to attend two business meeting as our guest, after which you can continue to participate as a paid member. Membership forms are available at the monthly business meetings and should be turned in with the annual dues to the Membership VP. Our annual dues are $30.00. A very small portion of this goes to the International MOMS Club while the remainder is used to cover operating expenses such as the cost of printing the monthly newsletter, postage, and club supplies. If the amount seems to be too much for you, please do not let this deter you from finding out more information about our chapter. Exceptions can be made by our Board on an individual basis to reduce or waive the fee for moms experiencing financial hardship. |
