JSTMC Membership

Membership is open to all mothers, grandmothers and expectant mothers of multiples. Our annual dues are $20.00 and they are collected each September. Membership in the club entitles you to be able to attend all meetings, participate in all club activities and receive our monthly newsletter. Part of the dues also covers you're membership in the state NJATMC and National organizations. Expectant mothers are honorary members and will receive the newsletter and be able to attend our meetings for free. We also will mail out the newsletter for three months to any prospective club member.

We meet the 3rd Thursday of the month, from September to June. The meetings are held at the Holy Trinity Church Hall in Manasquan. The church is located on the corner of Main Street and Osborne Avenue. The meetings start at 7:30 pm and usually run to 9:30 pm.

Membership Benefits

Club Meetings
Time is set aside during each meeting where our members can present concerns or questions they have to the group and receive first hand advice from our mothers who have been in the same situation. Some of our past educational programs or speakers have included:

Stress Management
Nutrition
Self Defense
Financial Guidance
Carbon Monoxide in the Home

Club Activities
Being a social club as well, we try to have a social activity once a month. We have done such fun things as:

Grandmother's Night
Annual Halloween Party for the kids
Christmas Party
Annual Easter Egg Hunt for the kids
Annual Summer Family Picnic
Atlantic City bus trip

Child Enrichment
We help provide a college scholarship to our clubs graduating twins, as well as a child enrichment scholarship to one of our club member's multiples. We are able to do this by holding fund raisers for our club.

Thrift
The club also has a terrific thrift sale. Members bring in their used clothing, toys and other paraphernalia to sell or exchange with other club members. You can pick up some really good buys.

Newsletter
Double Chatter, our monthly newsletter, is mailed out to each of our club members. It contains information about what the club is doing, what the state and national organizations are doing, cooking tips and recipes, suggested readings for our children, surveys and items for sale.

Library
Our club maintains a lending library that is available to all club members. We have a terrific selection of books, articles, magazines and videos related to multiples.
