Twin Valley Mothers of Twins Club

Semiannual Used Clothing and Equipment Sale: Twice a year our club holds a large Used Clothing and Equipment sale (C&E). Not only is it our largest fund-raiser for the club, it is also our largest philanthropic effort. It is a great opportunity for members to both buy and sell gently used items. As a member, you are entitled to attend the "Members Only" sale on Friday night before the public sale on Saturday. Even if you're not planning on selling anything at the sale, consider working a shift or two. It is a great way to get involved and to meet other members. Preganacy Pal: If you are pregnant, you can get a little extra help and moral support from a "pregnancy pal" from within the club. If you are interested in having a pregnancy pal, or being a pregnancy pal, please let the Pregnancy Pal Coordinator know. In the event your babies are born early, we have a Preemie Closet to help you out. Items that are available to check out include a breast pump, breast feeding pillow and preemie clothes. In addition, we have many members who have had premature babies and are available as a source of support. Please contact the Preemie Closet Coordinator at preemiecloset@tvmotc.org for further information. Library: A library of many helpful books for both multiples and general childcare is available. Members are welcome to check out books for a one-month period. To learn more about books available for checkout, please contact our President at president@tvmotc.org. Philanthropic: Our club is dedicated to not only helping and supporting our members, but to also help in the community. All items left over from our C&E sale are donated to several local charities and individual families. During the holidays, we "adopt" families who are in need. As a member, you can help with our charitable efforts through the C&E sale or helping with the "Adopt a Family" program. If you know of a family that would welcome a "helping hand" from our club, please contact the VP of Philanthropy at philanthropic@tvmotc.org. Mom-2-Mom: Our very large membership base offers us numerous resources for dealing with many different life experiences. If you have a particular problem that you would like to discuss with someone who has "been there", please contact the Mom-2-Mom Coordinator for a referral. Special Events: Three times a year we have special events in lieu of our monthly meetings. In March a "Member of the Year" dinner is held at an area restaurant to honor the member who has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to the club over the previous year. In lieu of one of our summer meetings, we have our annual "Get Acquainted Dinner" to welcome new members who have joined over the previous year. This is a casual event to honor our newest members. Our "Annual Holiday Party" takes place in lieu of our December meeting. This is a festive event that usually takes place at a member's home and includes the board installation, Secret Pal revealing, plenty of good food and fun socializing. Childrens and Adult Socials: We offer member organized children and adult socials. We have had children socials at a park, gym, bowling alley, etc. Adult socials can include a manicure or pedicure, meeting for coffee or ice cream, dinner and a movie, or scrapbooking. For more information, contact VP of Socials at socials@tvmotc.org. Financial Assistance Confidential financial assistance is available to members in need through the philanthropic fund. Although the club cannot extend personal loans, you may contact the VP of Philanthropy at philanthropic@tvmotc.org if you need assistance paying your club dues or a club activity. Breast Pump & Infant Scale Rentals TVMOTC provides a program where the club will partially reimburse you the out-of-pocket rental expense for a hospital-grade breast pump and/or infant scale.
