Whether a stay at home mom, work in the office or at home mom, nanny, or other childcare giver, you are welcome to join Momtourage. We are an established, successful group of women who have come together to meet, support, and share in the joys and frustrations of daily childcare. Our group prides itself on providing opportunities to meet and connect with other members in the area through home-based play dates, meetups at parks and play centers, and moms' nights out and in at members' homes. This is a group that will provide you opportunities to meet others and make bonds, both for yourself and for your children, that can last a lifetime!

The annual fee is $20 and gives you access to our calendar of many events, message board, many clubs including Supper Club, Cookin' Crew, Vintner's Cellar Wine Club, Lucky Ladies Lottery Club, the Not Just Sushi Club, as well as our Motherless Mothers Support Group, our newsletter: messenger, and Momtourage sponsored events and activities.

Participation is key to success of the group; therefore, we encourage our members to share their ideas and suggestions and schedule play dates. Be sure to check our Message Board for daily updates and share some messages of your own!

PLEASE, before petitioning to join our group, be sure that your Meetup username is your name (last name not needed) and not initials or combination of letters and numbers. We like to "know" who our members are and find it difficult to do so if we're not on at least a first-name basis.

Also, be prepared to post a photo of YOU and not just your child(ren) so that we all feel comfortable seeing the face behind the name - it will also help members recognize each other at events.
