Seasonal parties are often held in community parks or clubhouses. They usually include a craft activity and loads of snacks from participating moms. Recent annual parties have included Valentine's Day, Spring Fling, Fourth of July, Halloween, and Winter Holiday. In addition we have a couple of parties just for moms such as the Annual Cookie Exchange to kick off the holiday spirit, the Quarterly Welcoming Social to meet and greet our new members, and the Mother's Day Brunch to celebrate just being the great Moms we are!

Kid Chat is a friendly place (usually a member's home) for members to share and discuss parenting topics in a small group setting. The format of the meeting is to first discuss a topic provided by the host. The second hour is to share joys or concerns of parenting. This is an evening activity for moms, but nursing babies are always welcome.Sunshine Committee
