International MOMS Club HistoryThe MOMS Club began in 1983 when Mary James, an at-home mother in California, decided she was tired of being alone at home. She wanted to meet other at-home mothers and she wanted to find other at-home children for her children to play with. When she discovered there were no other organizations that met during the day and allowed her to come with her baby and preschooler, she decided to start a brand new organization just for at-home mothers, and the MOMS Club was born.
The chapter she started was so successful, she knew mothers in other areas must be needing the MOMS Club, too. Soon she and other volunteers were helping mothers start MOMS Clubs across the country and around the world!
MOMS Club of Battle Creek, MI HistoryOur chapter was started in October 2004 by former members Stefany Austin and Lindsey Maki. Stefany was online looking for a support group when she came across the MOMS Club International website. MOMS Club connected Stefany with Lindsey who was also looking for a support group in the area. These ladies quickly learned the ropes, had an open house and our chapter has been going ever since. |
