Guidelines Joining the MOMS Club is easy! Here's how it works: Contact Lisa our Membership Vice President. Please include your name, address, phone number and children’s names and ages. The Membership Vice President will then email you back and work out a good time for you and your children to attend an event. The membership paperwork will be provided then for those of you who already know you would like to join. If you are not sure after the first scheduled get together you may attend two events (two monthly business meetings or one park day and one business meeting), before joining. Please let our Membership Vice President know which activity you plan to attend so that she can coordinate with the host and make sure the information is readily available. Once you decide to join, sign and complete the membership form and return it to the MVP either hand deliver or mail it (address will be at the bottom of the form) along with your yearly dues of $20.00 per year which covers postage, copying costs, office supplies, bank fees, dues to our international organization, refreshments, Sunshine Committee costs, and meeting space are just some of the examples. By signing the Membership Liability Release form you agree to follow the membership guidelines.
