Membership benefits

We are a private social group that caters to local Moms and children. Wethersfield Moms Group acknowledges differences, embraces them and commits to modeling inclusive behavior for our children to be accepting of all individuals. As such, the club welcomes and encourages participation from mothers of all backgrounds and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, religious or spiritual affiliation, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, ability, marital status, socioeconomic status, employment or military status in any of its activities or operations, including membership.

Only Mothers who are residents of Wethersfield can join the group. At this time we have approximately 100 members and continue to grow every day! Membership is open to any Mother who resides in Wethersfield, CT or has children enrolled in any grade school in Wethersfield.

Wethersfield Moms Group is a Non-Profit and volunteer run organization.

Membership dues are $44 which covers membership for the fiscal year from July 1 to June 30. Membership dues are collected to be used towards private events that are put on for our members throughout the year, participating in community events such as Scarecrows and Bikes on Main, state and federal filing fees, and other costs associated with operating an organization.

No mother may be denied membership in the group because of financial hardship. If a member cannot meet her financial obligation to the group, she may ask the Executive Board for special consideration.

Each of our committees has a budget that is determined from dues collected and budgeted year to year. The committees use their budgets to keep the cost of events at little to nothing for our members. Membership dues cover the cost of things such as: venue deposits or reservations, food and refreshments for members at events, arts and crafts, small gifts or prizes, donations to food drives, and school supply drives. We also use our budget to make two charitable community donations each year, as well as host a community Touch-A-Truck event. Prospective members are invited to attend up to two club meetings before becoming a member.

There is no age limit for children who can join! We have members who have been in the group for up to 15 years! In our private discussion groups you will find many topics of interest, questions and requests. While we have events that focus on children in the under 5 crowd, we do offer opportunities for all ages meet ups, service projects, family outings and more. We hope to create opportunities for all members to learn, teach, create, have fun, and provide balance in the lives of our growing families.

We host around 5-10 private group events a month. This can include playdates, community meet ups at the park or library, Moms’ Night Out, Book Club, or special seasonal, holiday or committee events. In our monthly calendar we organize events by private events for our members and community events hosted by local organizations in town. It is our goal to offer a variety of opportunities for moms, children, and their families to join together including scheduling playgroups, providing parent education, coordinating recreational activities and having social outings.
