Benefits of Joining NSPOM

Meetings

General Meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Each month, we provide an interesting guest speaker, or sponsor a fun theme for our members.

Support Meetings are held on the same night as the General meetings, starting at 7:00 PM. For more information, see the Meetings page.

Board Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month. Attending these meetings is a great way to learn about how our club works and to become more involved in events and activities. Locations and times are listed in the club's newsletter.

Monthly Newsletters

Monthly Newsletters are an important feature to our members, especially to those who are not able to attend meetings or events regularly. As an NSPOM member, you will receive our newsletter, Multiple Happenings, each month. You can read about the most recent happenings for the club, other interesting facts, and see reminders of upcoming events. In addition, we provide a free "For Sale and Wanted" column in each publication.

Adopt-a-Mom Program

A one-on-one support program that matches a new mom of multiples with an experienced mom. We will match moms to the best of our ability. The rest is up to you!

Meals for Moms Program

The program offers two meals for each member family that has new babies or subsequent baby(s). Expectant moms will be contacted by the Meals for Moms Program Coordinator to determine if they would like to receive meals.

Mom’s Night In Program

Member moms may request a “Mom’s Night In” within 6 months of giving birth to her multiples. Veteran moms will arrive at the members home with a simple dinner and provide support to the newly expanded family by helping with the babies (hopefully they will be awake for the volunteers to get a baby fix), answering questions and generally providing some stress relief and support for a couple of hours… think of it as a girls night in! 

Member's Only Website Area and Email Group

A Members-Only Website Area is available only to paid members of NSPOM. This area contains useful information, including archives for our members only.  We also offer an email group where members can ask questions and share their experiences.  It is a great way to connect to other members between meetings and events.

Clothing and Equipment Sales

Held twice a year, in September and April, NSPOM sponsors this sale for the purpose of selling your multiples clothing, equipment, and toys. Tables are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The sale is open to everyone with an exclusive "early bird" shopping time for members. These sales are club's biggest events of the year and are a great place to find terrific bargains on clothing, toys and equipment. 

In addition, we provide a "For Sale" table at all General Meetings for selling your multiple's clothing, equipment, and toys.

Playgroups and Children's Activities

We offer important social opportunities to our members and their children. Playgroups are held weekly throughout the year. As weather permits, we try to schedule outings to playgrounds, apple picking, zoos, and to members' homes.

Children's Parties

Children's parties are held for Halloween, December Holiday, and a summer outing. Smaller events are also held throughout the year.

Special Events

Our special events, held at varying locations include annual holiday parties (children's party and parents' party), adult nights out, and a banquet in the spring. You can find more information on such events in the newsletter and in our online Calendar of Events.

Lending Library

This is a growing group of books, publications, and videos pertaining to a variety of twin-related topics including breast feeding, raising twins, pregnancy, potty training, and general child development. The Library is available to members at every General Meeting. Books can be checked out at General Meetings and are due back the next month.

Moms' Night Out

Leave the kids at home and join other mothers of multiples for a fun-filled night on the town. Moms' Night is organized by different group members, and we always encourage our members to recommend new places to try dining or dancing or even just bowling. It's just an opportunity to have a night away from it all!

Helping Hands

Developed as a resource to help families in need. If you could benefit from a diaper drive, food drive, grocery gift certificate, or just a helping hand in tough times, contact a board member. As needs arise, we may ask the membership to help out by donating specific items.

Help Line

Our NSPOM moms have experienced many issues and have volunteered to be available if any other NSPOM member is having the same issue. A directory of specialties as well as the contact person and phone number is distributed to all NSPOM members. Here is a listing of the specialties: Attachment Parenting Multiples, Autism/PDD, Hospitalization (NICU, RSV), Bedrest, Bladder Kidney Reflux, Breast Cancer, Breastfeeding, Colic, Developmental Delays, Early Intervention, Food Allergies, GE Reflux, Induced Labor, Medical Issues Post Partum, NICU, Peanut Allergy, Prematurity, Reflux, Special Education, Twin to Twin Transfusion, Twin Plus One, Working Mom Issues.

Enrichment Awards

Given in the Spring, at least one parent and one children's scholarship is awarded. The money may be used for any activity you wish (night class for parents, children's dance class, swimming lessons, etc.). Application forms and details will be available in Multiple Happenings newsletters.

Conventions

Our club participates at the state and national level. All members are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Fundraising

We are a non-profit group. Therefore, all operating funds are raised through our members' efforts. Membership dues cover the membership fees for NOMOTC and MMOTA and the cost of printing the newsletter.

In order for us to raise money for monthly meeting expenses (room rental, speaker fees, etc.), scholarships, children's parties, and other events, we organize fundraising activities. Without the participation of our members, we would not be able to offer all of our services.

These are just a few of the ways we share what we own and what we have learned firsthand about raising more than one child at a time. Please feel free to join us! We always welcome POMs-to-be, new POMs and experienced POMs to all of our club's events.
