Membership

Membership is $45 per year, a portion of which goes to our local chapter.  Prospective members may attend 2 mom-only events (they do not have to be meetings) before deciding whether to join.  Once becoming a member you will be able to take part in chapter benefits that include:

Local Chapter Benefits:

• Two monthly meetings - Regular meetings are usually held every 2nd Tuesday and 4th Monday of the month at 7PM.
• Bi-monthly newsletters - keeps you updated on what's going on in your local chapter, plus funny articles and insights from members right here in Roanoke.
  
• Mom's Night Out -  a casual night for moms to get together and enjoy dinner, casual conversation, maybe even a movie!  This is Mom's night to have fun and relax!
