New Moms Support Group
top

The New Moms Support Group is a great way for new mothers, no matter how many children you already have, to meet. Older siblings are more than welcome to attend any New Mom's event! Monthly events are planned with moms and infants (usually up to twelve months of age) under the direction of the New Moms Coordinator. The meetings act as an outlet for the parent rather than a playgroup for the child.

Members can share their experiences and offer support to each other during this transition into motherhood.

The New Moms Support Group acts as a catalyst for playgroups. As the children get older (usually around one year), members with same age children can spin off and form an official playgroup in conjunction with the Playgroup Coordinator.

This is a group constantly in transition, with new members coming in and those with older children moving on to form playgroups. It provides a wonderful opportunity for new mothers to have social interaction with other mothers. For more information on the new Mom’s support group please contact our New Moms Coordinator.

Mom's Night Out
top

Mom's Night Out is an evening where the moms can get out with other moms for some relaxing conversation and fun without the distractions of the children. Not only do you get a chance to try a new restaurant, see a new movie, or do a new activity, but also you get to know your fellow moms better and forge new friendships in a casual way.

A Mom's Night Out can include anything members desire for a night of fun and relaxation without interruptions. As much as we love our children, it is still nice to get out of the house once a month and share a little "moms-only" conversation! The activity for the Mom’s Night Out could change each month to meet all of the interests – and financial abilities – of the moms.

Book Club

This group is a great way for moms to get out and meet with each other to discuss a topic other than kids, husbands, and household. It is for mothers who share interests in discussing books. The club meets once a month to discuss a book read by the group in the preceding month. If you wish to join the book club please click to email the Book Club Coordinator.

Helping Hands

The Helping Hands program is a service available to assist any mom who has experienced stressful life changes, such as the arrival of a new baby, illness, or a move to a new home, or who is undergoing other stressful circumstances and could use a hand preparing meals and running small errands, or help around the house. Help can be in the form of babysitting, transportation or cooking.

Newsletter and Advertising
top

The Club publishes a newsletter "Homefront” ten times a year. Subscription to the newsletter is included in the membership dues. Each issue provides members with information on club news and activities for the month, as well as useful information for mothers, ideas for fun with kids, recall information, informative articles, local events and more.

Submissions to the newsletter are encouraged. Any member who wants to contribute an article, tip, recommendations, etc. should contact the Newsletter Coordinator.

Advertising is accepted providing it meets certain criteria. Any member may place an ad to sell children’s toys or equipment free of charge.

Members may also place an ad for any business or service in the newsletter and/or website for a very reasonable cost. Non-members may also advertise in the newsletter and/or website. To find out more information about advertising, contact the Advertising Coordinator.

New Member Socials
top

The purpose of these special event meetings is purely social and informative. We sometimes try to book a speaker to present a topic of interest to our members, usually a parenting topic. Most times these socials are held at a board member’s house where members and their children can continue the discussion, if there was a presentation, or just relax, chat and get to know other members in a relaxed atmosphere. For more information, please contact our New Member Liaison.

Craft Nights
top

Craft nights occur from time to time and are designed to cover a miriad of crafting activities. It can also be a time for socializing for those among us who are "craft-challenged!" So you need not have any skill, just a desire to hang with some Moms, a desire to be creative, and to want to have some fun. Keep a lookout in our newsletter or emails from our Craft Coordinator for these scheduled events. If you would like to host a Craft Night, or offer suggestions for future crafts, feel free to email our Craft Night Coordinator.

Working Moms Group
top

The Working Moms Group was formed to give working mothers an opportunity for social interaction both for themselves and for their children. The Club recognizes the fact that the majority of working mothers would not be able to take part in organized playgroups and activities during the day. This group was created to fill that need.

Activities for this group are planned by the Working Moms Coordinator. Scheduled on weekends, mothers can attend open playgroups, activities or outings with other working mothers and their children. For more information please email our Working Moms Coordinator.
