Our goal is to provide support, information and friendship for Mothers
of Multiples (MOMs) in the Twin Valley cities of Alamo, Danville,
Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon and Sunol in Contra Costa
and Alameda Counties.
Raising multiples offers unique joys and challenges,
and that's why we hope that you will participate and attend our
round table discussions and meetings, come along to our social events
and get involved any way you like. We offer a variety of benefits
for pregnant moms, new MOMs and babies, as well as MOMs with older
children.
What We Offer Our Members
Pregnant and overwhelmed with the thought of having
multiples? Have multiples and need comraderie with someone who's
been there? We are the club for you! Our group offers:
|
Our monthly General Meetings take place the 2nd
Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. Typically, there is a speaker
or some other programming before or after the business portion
of the General Meeting. For more information, contact
our VP of Programs. |
Semiannual Used Clothing and Equipment
Sale |
Twice a year our club holds a large Clothing and Equipment
sale (C&E). Not only is it our largest fund-raiser for the
club, it is also our largest philanthropic effort. It
is a great opportunity for members to both buy and sell gently
used items. As a member, you are entitled to attend the
"Members Only" sale on Friday night before the public
sale on Saturday. Even if you're not planning on selling
anything at the sale, consider working a shift or two.
It is a great way to get involved and to meet other members. |
Pregnancy Pal |
If you are pregnant, you can get a little extra help and moral
support from a "pregnancy pal" from within the club.
If you are interested in having a pregnancy pal, or being a
pregnancy pal, please let the Pregnancy
Pal Coordinator know. In the event your babies are born
early, we have a Preemie Closet to help you out. Items
that are available to check out include a breast pump, breast
feeding pillow and preemie clothes. In addition, we have
many members who have had premature babies and are available
as a source of support. Please contact the Preemie Closet
Coordinator or the Preemie Support Coordinator for further information.
|
Library |
A library of many helpful books for both multiples and general
childcare is available. Members are welcome to check out books
for a one-month period. To learn more about books available
for checkout, please contact our Librarian. |
Philanthropic |
Our club is dedicated to not only helping and supporting our
members, but to also help in the community. All items
left over from our C&E sale are donated to several local
charities and individual families. During the holidays, we "adopt"
families who are in need. We have also made cash donations to
organizations that assist children and families. As a
member, you can help with our charitable efforts through the
C&E sale or helping with the "Adopt a Family"
program. If you know of a family that would welcome a
"helping hand" from our club, please contact our Philanthropic
chairperson |
Mom-2-Mom |
Our very large membership base offers us numerous resources
for dealing with many different life experiences. If you have
a particular problem that you would like to discuss with someone
who has "been there", please contact the Mom-2-Mom
Coordinator for a referral. |
Special Events |
Three times a year we have special events in lieu of our
monthly meetings. In March a "Member of the Year"
dinner is held at an area restaurant to honor the member who
has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to the club over
the previous year. In lieu of one of our summer meetings,
we have our annual "Get Acquainted Dinner" to welcome
new members who have joined over the previous year. This
is a casual event to honor our newest members. Our "Annual
Holiday Party" takes place in lieu of our December meeting.
This is a festive event that usually takes place at a member's
home and includes the board installation, Secret Pal revealing,
plenty of good food and fun socializing. |
Children & Adult Socials |
We offer member organized children and adult socials. We
have had children socials at a park, gym, bowling alley, etc.
Adult socials can include a manicure or pedicure, meeting for
coffee or ice cream, dinner and a movie, or scrapbooking.
For more information, contact our Childrens'
Socials Chair or our Adult
Socials Chair. |
Financial Assistance |
Confidential financial assistance is available to members
in need through the philanthropic fund. Although the club cannot
extend personal loans, you may contact the Philanthropic
chairperson if you need assistance paying your club dues
or a club activity. |
Breast Pump & Infant Scale
Rentals |
TVMOTC provides a program where the club will partially reimburse
you the out-of-pocket rental expense for a hospital-grade breast
pump and/or infant scale. For more information, contact the
Pregnancy Pal Coordinator. |
