What are typical meetings like?

Meeting format varies depending on the topic. Some meetings lend themselves more readily to a speaker (i.e. Pediatric Emergencies) , while others work nicely as a group discussion (i.e. Reflections on our Mothers); still others are participatory (i.e. Self Defense). The Topics Committee works hard to vary not only the topics themselves but also the format in which they are presented. 

How much does it cost to become a member?

The annual membership fee is $45. The local chapter retains a portion of this, while the remainder is sent to National. 

Where do your members live?

Most of our members live in Bergen County, although we do have some from neighboring towns in Passaic and Rockland Counties. 

Are all your members stay-at-home moms?

No.  Mothers & More provides services that meet the needs of mothers who are - by choice or circumstance - altering their participation in the paid workplace over the course of their active parenting years. We have moms who have left full-time employment to be at home with their children full-time, moms working part-time outside the home, moms starting up their own businesses, moms packing a full week's paid work into four days, moms transitioning back to full-time paid employment, moms working from home, and moms pursuing further education. Moms join us because all shifts in the role of paid work in their lives have an impact on them personally, and they are looking to connect with other mothers in similar situations.

Do I have to be a member to attend Mothers & More events?

You are welcome to join us for up to 2 general chapter meetings before becoming a member.  However, we must ask that you become a member before participating in any of the other chapter events. 

How many members are involved with Mothers & More?

Nationally, over 7,000 women are members of Mothers & More. In the Bergen County chapter, we have about 85 members. 

Are children allowed at the chapter meetings?

We encourage our members to view chapter meetings as opportunities to focus on themselves as individuals, apart from the demands of family. For some mothers, this is a rare opportunity to spend time socializing away from home without children. We do realize that for some mothers and infants a separation of several hours is difficult. Therefore, only non-mobile infants are permitted to attend the meetings.

Can I participate in other activities even if I am unable to attend meetings?

Absolutely. Once you become a member you are welcome to participate in any of the activities that interest you, whether or not you can attend our general meetings.
