The International MOMS Club is a support group just for you, the mother-at-home of today, interested in the world around you, wanting a variety of activities for you and your children, and proud of your choice of at-home mothering for your family.
Internationally, the MOMS Club has over 2,000+ chapters in seven countries, and we represent more than 100,000 members! We are the only international support group specifically for all at-home mothers, and we’d like you to be a member, too!

Meetings
All of our meetings and all but one of our activities are during the day, when at-home-mothers need the support. During the school year, we meet twice a month, once for indoor meeting (usually with a speaker, topic for discussion or other activity) and once just for fun for a park playday (weather permitting).
In addition to meetings, we also have outings or other get-togethers, such as trips to the zoo and family or children’s parties.
Activity Groups
The MOMS Club sponsors Activity Groups for members with common interests. These change as interests change, but include activities such as children’s playgroups, gourmet lunch groups, arts ‘n crafts, coupon exchanges, a monthly MOMS Night Out and babysitting coops, among others.
Bring your children!
We believe being a mother shouldn’t isolate you, as you may bring your children with you to anything we do. You don’t have to bring children to attend, but if you do, please remember, you are responsible for your child’s safety and behavior.
Sometimes we may have a volunteer member watching the older children away from the mothers, but sometimes we may all be together, so you may be asked to bring some toys to share. Babies are always welcome to sty with their mothers, and you may nurse at our meetings. We’re all mothers and many of us have nursed our own children. If your baby becomes fussy, please be considerate of any speakers and move into the children’s room until your child has quieted.
Dues
Our dues are $15 and pay for our room rentals, supplies and programs. You may attend two meetings (such as a meeting and a park day—activity groups are for members only!) before you decide to become a member. We understand that being a mother-at-home often means a tight family budget, so if the dues would be a hardship for your family, please talk to one of our officers.
CALENDAR
Our monthly calendar is available for members only. The MOMS Club is very concerned about the safety of its members and does not encourage posting of activity locations and dates online. If you are a member please contact any of your chapter officers for a personal copy.
Welcome Newcomers!
Come visit our next meeting! Our chapter is very open to new members. You probably won’t be the only new person there! Although some of us have lived here for years and are experienced mothers, many of us are new in town or new to motherhood! We all have one thing in common—the MOMS Club introduced us to other moms who stay home… the ones who soon became our friends.
