International MOMS Club & History of the Piney Orchard Chapter
The International MOMS Club www.momsclub.org was started in the fall of 1983 by our founder, Mary, an at-home mom in California. The first chapter was in Simi Valley, CA. Word spread about the wonderful support that the MOMS Club offers at-home mothers, and we became a national organization in 1985. Now we have more than 1,500 local chapters with more than 75,000 members across the country, and more chapters starting every month. We are the only international support group specifically for at-home mothers.
The MOMS Club of Piney Orchard grew out of the MOMS Club of Odenton www.momsclubofodenton.com. In March 2001, with the Odenton club growing larger and more than half of its members residing in Piney Orchard, it was time to branch out, and the MOMS Club of Piney Orchard was founded. Christy, an at-home mom in the community, served as the chapter’s first president.
The MOMS Club is designed specifically to help at-home mothers meet the challenges of staying at home with their children. The MOMS Club is a wonderful way to meet other mothers who share your interests and concerns, and to participate in enriching activities for you and your children. We believe that staying at home to raise our children is a fulfilling full-time job. In fact, we think it is the most important job any mother can choose.
