Support Groups: Support Groups play an integral part at RVMOM. Our Support Group provides information, support and fun for any MOM who needs a night out with other MOMs - going through what they are going through. Support Group is an informal get-togethers at members' homes and everyone is welcome. Playgroups: Every month we have several playgroups organized where MOMs can bring their children and spend a morning or an afternoon together. The playgroups are sometimes held in members' homes and at other times they are held in parks or at the Mall. They are fun for the children and the MOMs who take part in it. Speakers: One of our most exciting features is the Guest Speaker program. At most of the RVMOMs' general meetings, we have guest speakers who lecture, inform, inspire and sometimes entertain us on a wide variety of topics. In the past, we have had speakers who dealt with post-partum depression, organizing clutter in our lives, and toddler behavior issues, among other subjects. We also have our famous twins panel - where grown twins talk about the impact on their lives from being twins. And, we have had our senior members on another fascinating panel discussion, describing in detail what it was like raising multiples and the issues that faced them. |

| Library: RVMOM is very proud of its extensive library of books, magazines and other resources. We have a librarian who maintains our collection of materials and makes it available to all MOMs who are searching for more information. | |||

| Meals for MOMs: Whether you are a brand-new MOM or a joyful and experienced MOM, this program may be of great benefit to you. If any MOM is undergoing illness or surgery, let us know and the coordinator of this program will contact one of our club members who will provide (and bring) a meal for you. | |||
| Welfare: RVMOM takes great pride in this program - this is where we try to help our less fortunate community members and charities by providing clothing, toys, necessary supplies and funding. Everything is either donated by club members or obtained through fund raising efforts, which occur through numerous events (raffles, the fall and spring MOMs merchandise sales, bake sales and other projects) organized by our talented Ways & Means Committee. | |||
| Children's Socials: Trips and Other Events: Here is where we do the fun things for our children! We have a December Holiday Party, with crafts and singing and a visit by Santa Claus. We have a lively Spring Party too! We also arrange group trips to cool places like Sesame Place, the Crayola Factory, the Big Apple Circus just to name a few. We organize a Hay-Ride/Pumpkin Picking event in the Fall, Family Fun Day in the Summer and so much more. These events make for a great day for the whole family. | |||
| Adult Socials: That's right! We also want to have some fun just for the parents! We have several adult socials - sometimes at a restaurant and sometimes at a members home, but always guaranteed to be an enjoyable time for all who attend. | |||
| Sunshine: A very important program for MOMs - to let them know that we care! Our Sunshine coordinator makes sure that if there is a birth or death in your family, you will receive cards letting you know that we all are thinking about you. | |||
| Newsletter: We have a great Newsletter that is sent to all members, both Honorary and Full, along with all of our advertisers. This paper keeps us up-to-date with all the goings on in RVMOM as well as providing a free space where MOMs can buy and sell used baby and children's items. To be put on our Newsletter Mailing List, please contact us. | |||
