So, What makes Mothers & More different?

 Mothers & More is dedicated to supporting all the work that moms do and to accomplish that our chapter is committed to providing a wide variety of activities. We plan activities that are child-based and events that focus on mothers as individuals. The MNO's (Mom's Night Out) events are as much a part of our chapter activities as are the children's events, playgroups, etc. 

 

Check out a sample Calendar (calendar link) and you will see that our Calendar team strives to provide a wide variety of children's events. Large & small playgroups, age-based playgroups, outings to local points of interest, event-based activities and periodic family events.

 

The Calendar team also works with the membership to determine the type of MNO's that are most in demand. We try to schedule at least 1 Mom's Night Out a week. None of our members attend all the MNO events and some members don't go to any of the MNO's but it is central to who we are as a group to provide the opportunity for our mom's to be celebrate their individuality and enjoy the company of other mothers in a relaxed, fun-filled setting. 

 

Book Club, Game Night, Movie Night and  Monthly Meetings some of the are a great ways for members to connect and grow friendships. Life changes when children join our lives, they add so much to our lives even as we provide for them. Mothers & More is dedicated to creating a space where the needs of the mother, the woman, the individual are also provided for.

 

Our membership is is composed  primarily of mothers approximately  25 - 45 years old. Military families & Civilian Families, Relos & Locals. Moms who have left the paid work-force, moms who work PT or FT, from home or in a traditional setting, the situations are as varied as our membership. Members live in and around the Summerville/North Charleston area and at least 15 different neighborhoods are represented! The greatest majority of mothers have children younger than elementary school but many have older children. Home-schooled, Faith-based, Public or Private education it's all here and Chapter Leadership is committed to providing a supportive, accepting environment for all our members. The differences help to bring us together and give us perspective.

 

The National Organization provides a multitude of opportunities to support the advocacy work it does as well as volunteer opportunities for those members who would like to support the organization on a national level.

Mothers & More is just one of many mothers groups available to moms looking for a place to connect with other moms for their children and for themselves. We think it's a GREAT group , please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
