Hi, we're the MOMS Club chapter of the SW Lehigh Valley!
50 Moms, 84 Kids, and growing! Our chapter is one of many across the globe serving the local area.
About Us
Being a mom, particularly a SAHM can be lonely and it can be difficult to actually make REAL connections, even if you attend storytimes, get to playgrounds, or attend other kid friendly events. That's what we're here for!
Weekly playgroups (held in rotating homes by other members)
Weekly meet ups out and about at kid friendly spaces both inside and outside
Monthly MNO to connect as adults
Annual service project to benefit children IN our area
Current group specific activities: Book club, hiking/walking meetups, 1000 Hours Outside accountability, Cooking discussions/meetups, etc.

When Do We Meet?
We meet for playgroups and child-focused meetups generally mornings/early afternoons during the work week (M-F). Meetups are planned with input from members to find which days of the week/times have the highest availability.
Exceptions: Book club and Mom Nights Out occur on evenings and/or weekends!

There's a lot on the calendar. Do I have to attend all of the events?
You're right, there's a lot happening! Before committing to membership, you can choose up to two public events to attend, but must attend one of your choice. Once you become a member, then you are welcome to attend as many or as few events as you'd like! We have some moms that come for playgroup connections, some that frequent outdoor meetups, and some that do a little of everything!
How Old Do My Kids Need To Be?
No minimum or maximum age! Our members have children ranging from newborn (or on the way!) to school age!
What Is The Cost?
Annual dues are $25 per mom. ($5 goes directly to the larger International MOMS Club as a registration fee. Remainder is utilized for operating expenses like occasional craft, food, parties, meeting spaces, donations, and charity work.)
Meetups at locations with a fee are generally pay-as-you-go and discussed during planning the month prior to be mindful of remaining low cost. (We try to get group rates when possible!)
If cost is ever a concern simply let a board member know as we do not want you turned away for cost alone. :)
How Does the Club Communicate?
