Looking Back
by
Chris
MOMS Club of Molalla, OR

As I look back and reflect upon
A year that flew by
And since has gone
What have we done
With this time that we've had
We've had some good times and some not half bad
We've laughed and we've cried
We've been here and there
We've given to others
Just because we cared
We've made our town
A better place to be
By giving to each other
And our community
Our lives are much bigger
Than just ourselves
We are busy Moms
With dust on our shelves
But our kids will grow up
With our morals and beliefs
Because we are committed
To our families
Thanks for who you are
And thanks for what you do
I 'm honored to be a MOMS Club member
And sharing this journey with you.

History of the MOMS Club®
The International MOMS Club® was started in the fall of 1983 by our founder Mary B. James. The first chapter was in Simi Valley, California. Word spread about the wonderful support that MOMS Club offers stay-at-home mothers, and we became a national organization in 1985 and an international one in 1996. Now we have over 2000 chapters with 100,000+ members in the US alone - and more chapters are starting every month both in the US and internationally!


MOMS Club takes pride in supporting local charities in addition to the Mother-to-Mother Fund®. This is a special charitable fund organized by the International MOMS Club and supported by local chapters. It was started after the 1994 Northridge/Simi Valley earthquake to help MOMS Club mothers suffering from natural disasters. The next year it was expanded to also help MOMS Club members experiencing devastating personal emergencies and disasters. Thousands of dollars were distributed to those MOMS Club members who lost their husbands in the September 11th tragedy.


The MOMS Club of Sturbridge Area in 2001 and started with 10 moms.  We have grown and currently have about 60 members.

 

At this time, our membership is open to Moms in Sturbridge, Spencer, Brimfield, Holland, Brookfield and East Brookfield. As a member, you will receive a monthly newsletter with a calendar of scheduled events. Feel free to participate in as many or as few outings each month as you desire. We have monthly meetings, park play days, holiday parties, outings for mothers and their children, playgroups, and a monthly MOMS Night Out. In addition we do service projects for the community.

Because MOMS Club® understands that choosing to stay home with your children is often accompanied by considerable financial sacrifice, dues are only $25 per year. This goes towards expenses such as postage, photocopies, national dues, and our monthly newsletter. Payment arrangements can be made if dues are a hardship.
