General Procedures and Regulations

Safety – If your family owns a firearm that is not always locked up or kept out of reach of children, you must make sure it is safely out of reach in a room that the children will not be allowed to go in when a MOMS Club function meets in your home.

Behavior – Unfortunately, children do not always get along with each other. If your child is hitting, pushing, or biting, please make an effort to control that behavior. The board members and activity group hostesses reserve the right to ask a mother and child to leave if the child has exhibited this behavior more than twice during that event. Also, a hostess may ask a mother to leave if the child is damaging property.

Health – To keep our MOMS Club as healthy as possible, please do not bring your child if any of the following apply: fever, diarrhea, vomiting or any other serious illness or rash within the past 24 hours. The board members of the MOMS Club reserve the right to ask a mother with a sick child to leave a meeting or function. If the child is experiencing any symptoms due to teething or allergies, he/she is welcome to come.

Weather – In the event of inclement weather, the MOMS Club of Ashburn Village Area will follow the Loudoun County School System when canceling functions. If school has been closed due to weather, MOMS Club functions for that day will also be cancelled or postponed. If there is a 1 or 2-hour delay, all MOMS Club activities will be continued as planned. Please use your own discretion for attending activities.

Other Children – We’ve been asked before if it’s OK for members to bring children other than their own to MOMS Club functions. The answer is yes, with one small requirement: The club needs to have a liability release and medical waiver signed by the child’s parents on file. If you are planning to bring a child other than your own to a function, please see one of the board members to get a form for the child’s parents to sign.

Roster – The MOMS Club of Ashburn Village Area membership roster is for the benefit of the members in our chapter. This roster will be distributed only to paid members of this club and at no time should anyone’s personal information be distributed to non-members. The phone number of the current Membership Vice President can be given out to a prospective member, although it is preferred that the Membership VP call the prospective members directly.

The roster may only be used for club business and may not be used for personal business, political, or religious purposes. If any member receives phone calls for any purpose other than for MOMS Club business, they are asked to report it to an executive board member.

**Note** This does not include personal relationships with other members, or if a member has specifically expressed an interest in a home-based business, religious, or political activity. If you are no longer interested in receiving this information, please contact that person directly.

Playgroup Rules

    1. Members are encouraged to join the playgroup that corresponds to the year their child was born. If there is a conflict and a member wishes to join another playgroup, please contact the playgroup coordinator.
    2. A mom may choose to attend more than one playgroup. If she does, she is responsible for hosting in each playgroup she joins.
    3. Your playgroup coordinator is responsible for creating the hosting schedule. Members of the playgroup will take turns hosting. If you do not take your turn as host, you may forfeit your place in the playgroup.
    4. You can host in your home or, during nice weather, in an outdoor location.
    5. If you cannot host the date you are scheduled, then it is your responsibility to notify the playgroup coordinator and make other arrangements. You may also be required to notify the rest of the playgroup of these new arrangements.
    6. You are not obligated to attend each playgroup. If you cannot attend, please contact the hosting mom to let her know that you will not be attending.
    7. Only members of the MOMS Club may attend a playgroup (for liability concerns). If you would like for a friend to attend a playgroup, she must become a member before attending. If she would like to become a member at playgroup, a board member should be contacted to make arrangements.
    8. You may bring children of friends who are not members of the club to a playgroup. However, you must first have their parent/guardian complete a release form and have it on file with the club. You must also notify the hosting mom.
    9. Unfortunately, children do not always get along with each other. If your child is hitting, pushing, or biting, please make an effort to control that behavior. The playgroup coordinator and playgroup hostesses reserve the right to ask a mother and child to leave if the child has exhibited this behavior more than twice during that meeting. Also, a hostess may ask a mother to leave if the child is damaging property.
    10. Please do not bring your child to playgroup if your child has any of the following symptoms: fever, diarrhea, vomiting or any other serious rash or illness within the past 24 hours. If the child is experiencing symptoms due to teething or allergies, he/she is welcome to come.
    11. All mothers are responsible for parenting their own children during the playgroup.
