OF LONGMEADOW/ EAST LONGMEADOW, MA  "MOMS OFFERING MOMS SUPPORT" We are a support group designed just for you, the at-home mother! You are interested in the world around you, want a variety of activities for you and your children, and are proud of your choice of at-home mothering for your families! We know, because we're at-home mothers, too! WHAT MAKES US
SPECIAL We meet during the day, when at-home mothers most need support! We believe being a mother shouldn't
isolate you, so mothers may bring their children with them! Having
children present is considered a natural part of life! The MOMS Club is a nonprofit corporation
and a 501 (C) (3) publicly- supported charity registered with
the IRS! Full or part-time Longmeadow and East Longmeadow stay-at-home mothers (SAHMs) are welcome to join our chapter of friends. We know being an at-home mother today means making a financial sacrifice, so our local chapter dues are only $20 per year! The money goes towards administrative costs such as postage, photocopies, supplies, national dues, and our monthly newsletter. At-home mothers of any age children are welcome! You don't have to leave the group when your children enter school! We know you still need support as your children grow! GOALS
PRINCIPLES
ACTIVITIES The activities are planned and organized by the membership. Activities and Events are scheduled based upon the group's interest. We hold our monthly business meeting on either the 1st Monday or 1st Tuesday of each month. We currently meet at the Longmeadow Community House where we gather with friends and enjoy some light refreshments as well. As with all our activities (except Moms Night Out) children are always welcome. Field trips to children's museums, zoos, parks, playgrounds, playgroups, arts & crafts, holiday parties, etc. name just a handful of things you can look forward to participating in as a member! Our membership is continually changing to meet the interests of our members! Babysitting swaps arranged through individual members is not uncommon amongst our members. Once you get to know a few of us, you'll find others you'll feel comfortable with in asking to swap babysitting for a few hours-- an evening out with your husband; a doctor's appointment--any errand you would rather not bring the children to; shopping for your children's birthdays, etc. Ever wish you knew someone with a child the same age as yours? Well, various playgroups are scheduled each week for all children (age-based as well as all-ages playgroups). It's a great opportunity for children to develop negotiating and social skills and it gives you the chance to discuss parenting issues with the other moms while your children have a great time developing friendships! Moms Night Out will give us moms a chance to get out without the children/ husbands and have a great time! We work 24/7- it's the least we can do for ourselves! We Moms meet on a monthly basis to enjoy such things as a movie; a nice restaurant, scrap-booking or a relaxing spa night out-we sometimes just get together at each other's home for some laughs and fun over "take-out" or a potluck appetizers and/or dinners. Hey, we deserve it! CONTACT US |
