The new theme for the 2008-2009 year is Adventures in Mothering. As we continue in our MOPS year we will strive to give you some perspectives on some common issues. New members are welcomed at any time.
The annual cost to be a member of our MOPS group is $80.00/ per year. This includes a registration fee to MOPS International of $35.00 and $45.00 which is paid directly to our group ( $5.00 per month). Dues help cover cost of craft supplies and child care.The MOPS registration enrolls you for an entire year in MOPS International. This entitles you to several benefits throughout the year.You will receive a semi-monthly magazine MOMSENSE, weekly encouraging e-mails, The Mommy Diaries (our themes book) and other small gifts.
The best part about joining our group is the comfort, joy and friendships that you will find. It is a place where you can go to relax, make a craft, eat a nice breakfast, socialize and learn strategies to help you in this time of our lives. We are all in similiar situations and can be there to help and support one another.
During many of the meetings we will make a craft. Last year we made Beautiful flower pots, wooden door decorations and amazing tile coasters. We have had awesome speakers that have educated, encouraged and inspired us to be better moms and woman. We are here to remind ourselves that we are still woman and need to fufill that basic need for ourself so we can be the best moms possible. Sometimes during this time in life we need a little help to remember that.
Each May we have our annual Spa Day. This is a special day you do not want to miss. We have had several local businesses donate their time to give us services that have included, chair massages, foot soakes, facial waxing, make-up lessons and so much more. There are also lots of door prizes that have been donated by top restraunts and local retailers. This event cost you nothing except a desire to be pampered!
While us moms relax and have fun the children are also having a wonderful time. We have experienced care takers that have meaningful lesson plans that include music, bible stories, and crafts to teach and inspire your children while they visit. Each child is assigned to a class based on their age. The classes are then structured based on the ages of each group. Your child will be able to make friends and learn something new just like us.
