NNMOTC's purpose is to share information on the special aspects of child development and parenting that relate to raising multiples, provide emotional support, and provide an opportunity to develop friendships for ourselves and our children.
Many of our members were on bed rest during thier pregnancies and know that having a support network can really make a difference. And, after the babies are born and new parents are sleep deprived and overwhelmed, a meal delivered to your door is really appreciated. This is why it is so important that women pregnant with or raising multiples be a part of our club!
The women in our group have been blessed with multiples and many of us have other children as well. As with singletons, raising multiples has its joys and challenges. However, there are needs and concerns that are unique to multiple pregnancies, childbirth and parenting and it is wonderful to network with other women who "have been there".
You are invited to attend any of our many functions. Please contact us and a board member will respond to you about upcoming events.
NNMOTC is a non-profit organization, funded by dues and fundraising efforts. Our club has recently "gone green", and only offers our local newsletter in electronic format. If you have special circumstances and need a hard copy, please contact us before submitting your application.
We encourage everyone who's interested in joining the club to come to one of our General Meetings to meet some of the current club members and ask any questions. Once you decide to join, visit our Online Membership Form. You can be assured that all of your information is kept in the strictest of confidence and not sold or used for any purposes other than our club.
We look forward to getting to know you!
