Guidelines

 

Joining the MOMS Club is easy!
Here's how it works:

  1. Contact our Membership Vice President (MVP). Please include your name, address, phone number and children’s names and ages.
  2. The MVP will then email you a membership packet. (Note: If you cannot open Word documents via email please state so in your initial email and a hard copy can be mailed.)
  3. Attend meetings or a park date. The Springfield MOMS Club has a monthly meeting the last Monday of the month at 10:30 am. You may attend two events (either two meetings or a meeting and a park date, member benefits excluded) before joining. Please let the MVP know which activities you plan to attend so that she can coordinate with the host.
  4. Once you decide to join, sign and complete the membership form and mail to MVP (address at the bottom of the form) along with your yearly dues of $20. By signing the Membership Liability Release form you agree to follow the membership guidelines.

After You Join

  • Once your membership form is received you will be invited to join a private Yahoo! Group for members only. All email is distributed through the group address. At no time is this email address to be used for business, religious or political purposes. Any information not directly pertaining to The MOMS Club of Springfield is to be approved by the president.
  • Members may attend or participate in all MOMS Club events and benefits. Please remember to RSVP to the host directly in a timely manner. If you qualify to receive Helping Hands Benefits, please try to contact the coordinator in advance.
  • As a member we encourage but do not require that you help fill our monthly calendar. Examples include: hosting a playgroup in your home, organizing and planning field trips and park dates. Play groups are divided by age:
    • Infants: 0-12 months
    • Ones: 12-24 months
    • Twos: 24-36 months
    • Threes & Up: 36 months and over
    The ages are guidelines; each child develops on a different scale, and your child may be more comfortable in a younger or older group.
  • After one year the treasurer will contact you via email to find out if you plan on renewing your membership. As of 10/31/04 yearly renewals are $15 dollars (subject to change). Checks should be made payable to MOMS Club of Springfield; at this time you will also need to sign an updated Membership Liability Release Form.
  • If you have any questions or concerns about our chapter feel free to contact any of the board members.
