Nine Months & Forever Club
About NMF
Philosophy: Through shared experiences, we believe women can learn and support each other while having fun!
Vision: While respecting the difference of each others' families, we can grow together.
Meetings: The club meets once a month. We will also have date nights, cooking classes, book clubs, charity work, play dates, and walking groups.
Suggested Meeting Topics: Nutrition, Vaccines, Child Development, Making Your Own Baby Food, Fashion, Skin Care, Interior Design, Personal Finance, Infant Massage, Love & Logic, Prenatal Care & Fitness, Marriage & Relationships, First Aid & Safety, Children's Literacy, Entertaining, Holiday & Children's Crafts, Gift Ideas, etc.
What To Think About For Each Meeting: Some of the meeting will take place in another location and will not be a standard meeting. For example, our September meeting will be our first "Date Night." For a standard meeting, please consider the following:
(Keep in mind, these are simply suggestions and we are not asking that you bring one from each category. Contribute as much as you wish! )
1. Gift Swap-Do you have a gift at home that someone else might find more useful? Bring it for our gift swap!
2. Pay It Forward-Have you read a really great article recently or any form of information that you would like to share with the group? If so, bring 20 copies to share at our next meeting!
3. Hot Tips-Have you heard of any fun fund raisers, cooking classes or any "Hot Tip" you want to post on our bulletin board to share with the group? If so, bring your tip with you to our meeting!
4. Idea Swap: Depending on the topic, it would be great if each guest brought an idea to share for our group conversation. Get your ideas down on paper and bring it along with you to the meeting to present to the group. If possible, make 20 copies to share or just bring your original and we can distribute copies for you at our next meeting.
