April President's Letter

Happy April MOMS,

Spring is in the air, and with it comes the sense of change and new beginnings. I am very excited for the start of a new MOMS Club year and the election season that is upon us! I have been blessed to be president of this amazing chapter for a little over a year now, and I have truly enjoyed it. I have loved being able to get to know each of you on some level or another and getting to watch as our chapter has grown and changed and developed.

Now I am excited to pass the torch onto another member to continue leading our wonderful chapter. As the election process continues, I hope each of you has a chance to really think about what position you’d like to take in the coming year, whether it’s running for a board position, a committee chairMOM, or just becoming more involved. MOMS Club is really an amazing thing – it’s whatever we all make it.

When we all get involved and help our chapter succeed and grow, we all benefit from it. I know that our board members this year have really loved being involved and watching so many of our members step up and get involved in committees, service projects, and starting new ideas like the babysitting co-op. This has really been an amazing year, and I am so grateful to all of you for allowing me to be a part of it. In the meantime, we still have a lot of fun things going on this month, too. Check out the activities calendar for some exciting spring break activities, and a very cool MNO – Rock ‘n Bowl!!

***A big thanks to our activities planning committee for putting together another fun and fabulous calendar.***

Spring Service Projects

Spring is always chock full of service project opportunities for our chapter. The March of Dimes walk is coming up and our chapter has walked in it every year since we started. We have also been thinking of throwing a baby shower for CareNet the crisis pregnancy center.

Keep an eye on this post for updates about what our chapter is doing to help the community this spring and ways that you can support it!

March President's Letter

Hello MOMS,

I can't believe it's already March! Spring is going to come, and then you'll blink and it will be summer again. It's funny how fast time flies when we're caught up in the day to day of our lives. Spring time brings some exciting times to MOMS Club, and to moms all over. For many of us, it's the time of year to start thinking about school for next year. Crazy, but true. Preschool start enrolling in March, and as you can see by our Question of the Month in this issue of the newsletter, that's a topic on the minds of many moms. It's also the time for Kindergarten registration. I have done this before, but I am still nervous and excited about going through the process and sending my little man off to Kindergarten in the Fall.

Not only is it time to start thinking about school for next year, but for MOMS Club Moms, it's time to think about running for a board position for next year. Our nominating committee will start working in March to gather the names of interested MOMS, and we'll announce them at the April Meet & Greet. In May, we'll hold our elections and the new officers will get inducted at our End of the Year Celebration in June. After serving on the board many times, I always get excited as we head into election season for MOMS Club - it's great to have a chance for all of our MOMS to get involved, either running for the board, or for a committee “chairmom” position. Look inside this newsletter for more info on the election process as well. For those of you who want a break from all that seriousness, we have a ton of fun activities planned for this month, too. We are having a Chocolate Making moms night out - just in time for Easter, the babysitting co-op ready to roll, and we'll have our introductory meeting this month as well. Wednesday after school activities, a Jello party, a trip to a new play place - Rainy Dayz, motor club to Ikea, and even the beginning of our new book club are all fun and exciting ways to spend this month!

Have a great month,
Jill
President
