Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring other peoples children along with my own to MOMS ClubŪ functions? Yes, but they MUST have a signed liability, medical release, and permission slip on file. Ask a board member for one if you need it. How do I sign up for activities? Sign-up sheets are available at our monthly meetings for all activities to be held during the next month; simply sign up on the sheet to let the activity coordinator know that you will be attending. If you do not sign up for an activity at the monthly meeting, you can contact the activity coordinator via telephone or email to let them know that you would like to attend an event. Event contacts are listed on the monthly calendar available in the club newsletter. By signing up for an event does not mean that you are required to attend - this allows the coordinator to directly contact members if there is any change in the activity. What activities will we have each month? Every month we have a general meeting (speaker, discussion or fun activity), a MOMS Night Out, park and/or lunch dates, story times and other various activities (including trips to the Childrens Museum, Kiddie Acres, Zoo, etc). In addition, as the club grows, we plan to offer additional daytime activities, like scrapbooking, a book club, craft club, cooking club, etc. Am I expected to come to every function? Of course not! Pick and choose what activities you have time for in your schedule and plan accordingly. This is why we plan our monthly calendars in advance; to allow you the opportunity to see what activities the club will have and allow you to choose those activities that interest you most! Who runs our MOMS ClubŪ? We have an Executive Board of 5 MOMS: President, Administrative Vice President, Membership Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. All serve for a term of one year, and may choose to run for more terms during annual elections in June. In addition, we have coordinators that serve on varying committees to help with such things as hospitality, parties, activities, etc. If you are interested in any of these, please contact us. Can I bring my children? Children are welcome at every MOMS ClubŪ function. As a courtesy, we provide a nursery at monthly meetings when we have that in place, but you are not required to place your children in it. There will be some toys in our meeting area to keep children occupied. We do ask every member to sign up to serve in the nursery once per year. How do you run a meeting with children present? Our meetings are very casual and we don't expect to have the children to sit quietly - we expect them to play and have fun, just as we do in our own homes. MOMS ClubŪ feels that it is so important that we allow kids to stay with moms, for whatever reason, that we encourage this, not just tolerate it. Of course, if your child is becoming disruptive to the meeting we do ask that you leave the area until they are ready to return. Where do our dues go? Your dues go to several club expenses. Postage, cost to copy the rosters and newsletters, office supplies, any bank fees we may incur, calls to our regional coordinator, refreshments for meetings and activities are just some of the examples. We are also required to pay $30 or $2 per member to International MOMS ClubŪ annually to cover the costs for running the whole organization. Why does the MOMS ClubŪ meet during the day? The first and most important reason all MOMS ClubŪ chapters hold their meetings during the day is because that is when stay at home moms need support the most. Mothers need adult companionship during the day. Second, holding night meetings disrupts family life. We want to encourage families to do things together, and planning activities during the few hours when a family is together during the week only defeats that purpose. Third, remember that although some husbands can take care of the children by themselves after a long day at work, not all are willing or able. If their wives are going to have to choose between going to a MOMS ClubŪ meeting or letting their husbands relax, which do you think they are going to choose? A group that wants to support the at-home mother and family life should put no mother in that position. Can I invite non-member friends to MOMS ClubŪ gatherings? Non-members may attend 2 functions, either 1 park day and 1 monthly meeting or 2 monthly meetings, before joining MOMS ClubŪ. It is against our by-laws, however, to allow non-members to attend MOMS ClubŪ Playgroups or Activities in members homes. By doing so, we could lose our status as a chapter. Dues are kept low to encourage membership, and if ever paying dues is a hardship, please see a Board member who can help.
