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:
Semiannual Used Clothing and Equipment Sale
Twice a year our club holds a large Used
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.
Preganacy 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
at preemiecloset@tvmotc.org
for further information.
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. 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 the VP of Philanthropy at
philanthropic@tvmotc.org.
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.
Childrens and 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 VP of Socials at socials@tvmotc.org.
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 VP
of Philanthropy at
philanthropic@tvmotc.org if you need assistance paying your
club dues or a club activity.
