GENERAL MEETINGS
Our general meetings are a great opportunity to meet other members, enjoy some refreshments and hear a topic of interest to MOTs at all stages.
We’ve had all sorts of wonderful guest speakers from safety officers to teachers to counselors. We’ve even had a therapist who spoke about her own experience with triplets! We’ve learned some wonderful tips and shared lots of laughter. Some of our meetings have involved round table discussions and some have just been one big baby-shower for the new MOTs. One special hit has been our annual surprise auction — the laughter, the sharing — nothing can summarize how much fun this evening can be. So please join us!
Besides providing a night out, the general meeting usually consists of the following:
6:30 – 7:30 – Business Meeting
7:30 – 9:00 – Speaker or Special Activity
The main part of the meeting consists of a talk or special event, refreshments and lots of conversation. The talks are given by members or guest speakers. In the past, topics have ranged from discipline to early intervention. They take place several times a year at our meeting place, Winchester Universal Unitarian Church, 478 Main Street, Winchester.
For 2009-2010, our upcoming General Meeting Calendar is as follows:
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 – All About Wellness!
Monday, March 22, 2010 – The Better Behavior Bureau
Tuesday, May 25, 2010 – Board Installation

BOARD MEETINGS
Our board meetings are open to all members. They are a great opportunity to have a say in how our club functions. All of our board members are volunteers, and we’re always looking for help in creating new activities and opportunities for our members.
Helping can mean becoming a board member or becoming a member of a subcommittee or giving an hour of your time each week. Either way, you can make a difference. Usually our members volunteer because they want to make a difference and to say thank you for all the help and advice they’ve received from other club members. But usually they keep volunteering because of all the fun and wonderful times they share with other volunteers. Even if you’ve only got an hour to spare to call an expectant mom on bed-rest, to send an email of comfort or to share some good news, we would love to hear from you!
