... in 1983 when Mary James, an at-home mother in California, decided she was tired of being alone at home. She wanted to meet other at-home mothers and she wanted to find other at-home children for her children to play with. When she discovered there were no other organizations that met during the day and allowed her to come with her baby and preschooler, she decided to start a brand new organization just for at-home mothers, and the MOMS Club was born.

The chapter she started was so successful, she knew mothers in other areas must be needing the MOMS Club, too. Soon she and other volunteers were helping mothers start MOMS Clubs across the country and around the world!

Our Chapter first began in the early 1990's. Doni, a stay-at-home mom with 2 little girls began our group. Originally, it included Westminster, Fountain Valley, and Garden Grove. As the groups grew, in the year 2000, the cities split and each formed their own chapter.
