The Moms Offering Moms Support
(MOMS) Club is a non-profit support group for stay-at-home or part-time
working mothers and their children. Collectively this organization
has over 1,500 chapters in seven countries. This page is dedicated
to the Portland West Hills MOMS Club chapter.
Our Club offers a wealth of activities for you and your children,
including:
 Age-Related
Playgroups Moms and their children are
grouped into playgroups based on the child’s age. Playgroups
meet regularly at various venues.
Weekly
Activities Moms with children of all ages
meet for outings – such as trips to the zoo, park, children's museum,
and pumpkin patch – and to activities such as picnics and holiday parties.
MOMS
Night Out One
night each month an activity is planned where moms get together for
an evening of fun. Recent activities have included going out for dinner
or dessert and making crafts such as pottery or beading. We also have
special interest groups such as scrapbooking and cooking which moms
can join.
Monthly
Meetings At
the monthly business meeting informative speakers discuss topics related
to families and children. At the monthly social, both moms and children
participate in activities while getting to know Club members.
Gourmet
Nights This
event allows for conversation, food and fun with other members and
their families (including spouses).
Community
Service Projects Moms and their children participate in helping various causes
in the Portland metropolitan area such as the Oregon Food Bank and
The Ronald McDonald House.
What is my obligation if I choose to join?
It's easy! Members are not required to participate in any activity
or belong to any committee. Members are only required to serve on
a small team which comes up with outing ideas for the children. They
come up with 1-2 ideas twice per year. Other than that small task,
each mom decides how much or how little participation is best for
her and her family.
What is the cost?
Dues are $27 per year and cover supplies, postage, newsletter preparation,
national registration fees, etc. The MOMS Club is registered with
the IRS as a non-profit organization, and all officers and coordinators
are volunteers.
No mother will be left out of the MOMS Club because of financial status.
If your family is unable to pay the dues, please contact any board
member to have the dues reduced or waived. This information will remain
confidential.
We want you and your children to join us. There are always other ways
to contribute to the club.
Come and meet us.
Please feel free to attend up to two activities/meetings before deciding
whether or not to join.
The Portland West Hills MOMS Club meets the first Monday of every month
at 10:30 am. Contact us for meeting location or for further membership
