The Simi Valley Mothers of Twins and Triplets Club (SVMOTTC) is a support as well as a social and educational organization for the benefit of mothers of multiples and those expecting multiples. We hope you will decide to share with us your joys, struggles, and triumphs of being a mother of multiples.
MEETINGS
Monthly General Meetings are held at a member's home on the first Monday of each month at 7:30pm (unless its a major holiday). Business Meetings are held on the third Monday of the month at 7:00pm, usually at a local restaurant.
MEMBERSHIP
Yearly Membership dues are $25, with $9 of that going to the National Organization's membership. All members are entitled to full participation in all club activities which include: monthly meetings (speakers, demonstrations, crafts), club library, clothing exchange, Secret Pals, and social events for members and their family. You'll also receive our monthly newsletter and information from the state and national organizations.
MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
SVMOTTC's monthly newsletter, "Double Talk", is written by and for our members. In it you will find information about our General Meetings, Business Meetings, Club activities, helpful events, member news, and columns that address special interests. The "Double Talk" newsletter is published and mailed the last week of each month.
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Our club sponsors holiday activities and annual events with an emphasis on children of all ages. We also sponsor activities for adults only. Some club activities include: Family BBQ, beach and zoo trips, play days, Mom's Night Out, and frequent get-togethers to socialize.
PHILANTHROPIC
Our club raises funds each year for donations to families in hardship. We sponsor an annual garage sale for different non-profit organizations and we raise money throughout the year by selling SCRIP. We also donate periodically to local organizations.
EDUCATION
We have a library of books & videos relating to multiples as well as to general interest. Members may borrow them free of charge. Our education is further enhanced by a variety of professional speakers.
CLOTHING EXCHANGE
Clothing exchanges are held periodically at our monthly General Meetings. Members may buy, sell, or exchange clothing and equipment. Any for sale or needed items by Club members may also be advertised free of charge in our monthly newsletter.
SUNSHINE
SVMOTTC brings the warmth of sunshine to any member or prospective who is in need of our help. We do this in the spirit of friendship.
BIG SISTER PROGRAM
Big Sisters take new members under their wings and keep them aware of club activities. They keep in touch and ensure new members meet and get to know other members.
CLUB PURPOSE
Although being a mother of multiples is a wonderful blessing it can also be very challenging and stressful. For that reason, our club is very important to many of our members. We share our experiences, give and get advice, and of course, have fun together.
SVMOTTC was founded in 1966 with the purpose of understanding and assisting in mutual problems and situations that confront parents and guardians of multiple births. We also exchange ideas, clothing, and twin equipment and participate in local and national research projects.
CLUB AFFILIATIONS
Membership into SVMOTTC also entitles you to membership and benefits of the Southern California Mothers of Twins Club, Inc. (SCMOTC) as well as the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs, Inc. (NOMOTC).
