We are excited that you are interested in becoming a member of MOMS. Our
membership is open to any parent or guardian of multiple birth children or
virtual multiple birth children (same age children not related by blood) or
anyone expecting multiples or virtual multiples.
Mission
The mission of the Mothers of Multiples Society is to support expectant, new and
experienced parents of multiples through education, resource networking and
fellowship with an emphasis toward family participation.
Located in Colorado
Anyone residing or moving to Colorado may become a member, however most members
are located in the south suburban area near Denver. Our boundaries include, but
are not limited to, Hampden Avenue on the north, I-25 on the east, Santa Fe
Drive on the west, with an open southern boundary.
If you live in another part of Colorado or the country, you will get the most
benefit by joining a club near you. Visit the National Organization of Mothers
of Twins Clubs at www.nomotc.org and enter
your zip code on the right side to find clubs near you.
Meetings
MOMS meets the second Tuesday of each month, except June, July and December,
from 7-9 p.m. at the Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church at 7691 S. University
Blvd in Littleton (on the west side of University between County Line Road and
Dry Creek). Our meetings entail a brief discussion of business and a program
involving either a speaker or a fun activity for the members. You are welcome to
attend a meeting before joining.
Dues
Our membership dues are $35 annually (August 1 - July 31). After Feb. 1 dues are
$25 for new members. After May 1 dues are $35 for the following year. To join,
please complete a

Membership Chair.
Renewals
If you have previously been a member, you can renew your membership by

Here are just a few of the great reasons to join MOMS.
If you are pregnant, there are lots of programs just for you.
- Expectant MOMS Meetings once per month the pregnant MOMS get together at a member's home to discuss their pregnancies, ask questions and get advice from experienced MOMS.
- Mentor MOM
you can be hooked up with a mentor MOM who's been through all the things you are experiencing and will provide guidance, support and comfort.
- Meals for MOMS once you have your babies, or if you go on bedrest, you can request a home-cooked meal from one of our members.
- Breastfeeding Support If you plan on breastfeeding and have questions, we have someone you can talk to.
- NICU & Bedrest Support If you end up on bed rest, or your kids spend some time in the NICU, we can guide you through it, from people who've been there.
But you don't have to be pregnant to join. We have lots of activities for everyone.
- Used Clothing and Equipment Sale We hold one of the largest twin sales in the country. Be sure to join now so that you can shop early with the members and sell at future sales. If it's close to the sale date, please bring your completed form and check to the sale instead of mailing it.
- Monthly Meetings There is always an interesting topic or fun activity and there is usually food! Husbands are invited but rarely come. It's a great excuse to get out on your own.
- Social Events We have social events throughout the year, some for the whole family and some just for you to get some time off.
- Newsletter Every month the newsletter goes out packed with information and great articles. You can receive it by email or in the mail.
- Playgroups Join a playgroup or make one of your own.
If you have questions or need more information, email us at
membership@mothersofmultiples.com or call the MOMS
cell phone at (303) 771-6788.
I received a lot of support through MOMS when I was pregnant and I still do. Plus I've met some of
my best friends through MOMS. I know you will enjoy it as much as I have. I look forward to personally
meeting you at an upcoming event!
Sincerely,
Heidi Elliott
President-Elect/Membership Chair
