Who can join?

We welcome any mother with open arms who has the willingness, time, and desire to be active in our group by attending our group events at least once a month. Kids and Moms of all ages are welcome, as well as moms-to-be! Any mom wishing to join our group must complete the profile questions in order to be approved. Any blank profiles will be declined. Upon receiving your request, the organizers will then contact you by sending you a list of upcoming events to find out what day you have available to meet us. After we will send you a few options for upcoming events for you to attend, it is up to you to meet us within two weeks. The reason we give you 2 weeks is that we feel any mom who is serious about joining our group will make the effort to attend something. If for some reason you can not, let us know otherwise, pending moms will be removed from the list & can request to join us again when they are ready. We also do not want to continue emailing those who are not interested. Once we meet you at one of these, we will then approve your membership so that you have free access to our website. This is for our safety as well as our children's so that we are not passing along information about group to strangers. Upon becoming a member you will be ask for a contact # & email address for yourself. This information goes to members only & is to be used to contact other members incase you can not attend an event you have RSVP'd for, or an event is canceled last minute, as well as making new friends . Members should not use this for the purpose of solicitation ( IE sales & or marketing, promoting other groups, junk or spam emails) without the permission of that group member before hand. ANY member who does so will be removed! If you are called or emailed for any of these reasons, please advise one of the organizers. Most of our play days are between the hours of 10am & 12pm as well as 3pm till 5pm. Our children's ages range from 3 weeks to 5 years old. However, if your child is older than he or she is still welcome! We encourage moms who would like other play times to step up to be a contact mom & help organize a play day that fits YOUR time frame. PLease email the organizer for more info if you would like to be a contact mom



What are the attendance requirements?

For the safety of the group it is asked that you attend at least 1 event within your first 2 weeks of request to join & at least 1 event a month there after.
We are looking to build a close group of friends, so after your initial Meetup, we recommend that you attend as many events as you can. We understand that moms are busy & you have other commitments as well, however it is important to the group that each member remain active for the better of the group. What is the point in being a member of the group if you do not participate. Inactive members will be removed & may join us later if you find you have more time. We also REQUIRE that you fill out the surveys at the end of each event that you attend. PLease rate them fair. They should be rated according to the event & NOT the weather, how dirty a place is or things like that ( since I have no control over those things) . This is all about if you would do it again, how much fun you had, was it creative ETC. Also, we will not know if you attendded an event UNLESS you fill this out & since we ask that you attend one thing a month, if you do not fill it out we will assume you are not showing up for the group. It only takes a moment & IS VERY important to the group! PLease note, members who continuously rsvp for events but do not show are subject to removal.


Are there any fees involved for group members?

THis group has grown into something great. Our playdays offer more than you can imagine & we are ALWAYS doing something fun! THere is a 20.00 group fee per CALENDAR YEAR ( if you join January through JUNE 31, the cost is 20.00 for that year you join. IF you join July 1 through Dec 31 the cost is 10.00 for that year you join. You will pay again for the next year when it starts Jan1 of the next year!. New mamas are asked to pay their fee BEFORE we give them access to our site. These fees do NOT include outtings such as CHUCK E CHEESE or events that are fieldtrips. Mamas are still responsible to pay for things like that should they choose to attend. You can pay through paypal, however, please note that there is a 1.00 surcharge to send me money that way, since paypal charges me to get your funds, so your cost will be 21.00 if you use paypal. ALL MONEY SHOULD COME ONLY TO ME...NO CASH IS ACCEPTED. PLEASE SEND A CHECK OR MONEY ORDER, this is for your records & ours


What if I want to host an event?

GREAT!!! Please contact the group organizer to make arrangements and they will set up the event. Events should not be posted on the board by members & should go through the group organizer.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!


What does RSVP mean?

Basically it means "Please Reply"
Please only RSVP "yes" for events if you are sure you can attend. A "yes" RSVP should be treated like any other commitment you would make. It is very disappointing to attend an event that had 10 "yes" RSVP's only to see a few actually show up, or worse than that, no one at all! So as a courtesy for the rest of the group, please change your RSVP with at least 24 hours notice if possible. In some cases, sometimes things come up the of the event, it is asked that you contact another member that is going to let them know you will not be attending.
All members should RSVP yes or no to events. PLease note: Members who rsvp yes to events continually and dont show up are subject to removal.


Advertising on the message boards & other information about solicitation
ALthough we do support our moms in all areas, ANY TYPE OF SOLICITATION IS NOT ALLOWED IN OUR GROUP! The message board is for communication, information, and support for our members. Please feel free to submit information on the services you provide to the group organizers prior to posting about them. All services, if accepted will be placed the services directory.
If you would like to advertise hosting a private party (Creative Memories, Tupperware, Fantasia Party, Pampered Chef, etc.) we are sorry but we ask that these be kept seperate from our group. Private parties should be separate from other events so that no member ever feels in order to attend an event they have to "BUY" something. ANY member who solicites without approval, either on the board, at group events, phone calls or emails, will be removed. This includes business cards and catalogs. Any mom who would like to do so should contact the group organizers & ask if it appropriate to do so. We have events to promote such things. All members are asked to contact a group organizer should you be contacted by any member about any of the above.


A special THank you to ALL OF OUR SPONSORS! Please check them out!!!
