Who,
What, Where & When...
Our chapter includes moms (and dads)
from either Morganville or Marlboro, New Jersey. We are located
in Central New Jersey in scenic Monmouth County. We have beautiful
parks, beaches and recreation areas. There is always so much
to do no matter what season. This chapter was founded in 1997
by local moms who needed support during the day. |

Who's
In Charge?
Our chapter is lead by our Executive
Board, which includes our President, Vice President, Membership
Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Positions are held
from (July-June) and are chosen by membership wide voting yearly
at our June meeting. All members are welcomed and encouraged
to run for board member positions. Our executive board meets
on a monthly basis to deal with club business and discuss plans
for the future. |

How Else Can I Participate?
We also have many different committees
made up of club members and led by a volunteer ChairMOM. Some
committees that exist in our club are: Playgroup, Newsletter,
Sunshine, Activities, Arts & Crafts, and Membership. Our
specialize committees include: The Resource Table, Book Club,
Coffee Group, Cookbook & Website.
One important thing to remember about the club
is that it is
completely member-driven. No one is paid to be here and run
the club. So, the more participation we get from our members
the better the club is. We welcome all suggestions and ideas
for activities, community service, fund raisers, etc. Everything
is on a volunteer basis - you are not required to participate
in committees or hold a board position. However, we are a
member-driven organization, so without the participation of
the members, the club cannot exist.

MOMS
Club® History...
We are one of the chapters of the International MOMS
Club®, a non-profit, non-denominational organization for
at-home mothers around the world. MOMS stands for MOMS Offering
Moms Support. The MOMS Club® was started in 1983 by Mary
James in Simi Valley, California. She wanted to meet at-home
mothers like herself but couldn't find any organizations that
met during the day and allowed her to come with her children.
She decided to start her own organization for at-home mothers
and the MOMS Club® was born. This chapter was so successful
that she and some volunteers helped other mothers start MOMS
Club® chapters in their own areas. It became a national
organization in 1985 and now there are over 2,000 chapters across
the country, several international chapters and membership exceeds
100,000 with new members joining and new chapters forming every
day. |
