Membership Rules and Regs

Attendance :
First and foremost we ask that you attend at least 2 events each month. We have events scheduled various days and times to accommodate everyone. If there is a specific time or day that you can attend a meetup but don't see one on the calendar, please bring it to the attention of the organizers. We will GLADLY schedule a play date for that day. We understand that things come up. In these cases we ask that you simply notify the organizer attending the event that you will not be able to make it.

~~Activity...Members who are completely inactive for 90 days during the fall and winter months and 60 days during the spring and summer months will be removed from the group in order to make room for other moms who may want to join. We are only doing this to encourage participation, after all, that's what moms meetup is all about! We are trying to build a strong support group where moms can get help, advice, vent, or just hang out. We have a 45 group membership maximum in order to make the group more intimate.

~~RSVP...Please be sure to RSVP for each event (even if it's a "no") just so we can plan accordingly. A lot of time and effort go into planning these events and some events need exact head count, this especially holds true if we are planning a luncheon or party. Please RSVP to the events that are announced and if you are forced to change your RSVP, please do so at least 2 hours prior to the start of the event. 24 hours is strongly suggested for a last minute change.

Effective today, in order to remain part of the Crazy Mommas family, you MUST host a play date at least once every 6 weeks. After reviewing the calendar, the most popular events seem to be the in home play dates, and I fear we are wearing our current hosts thin. You don't need a big fancy house to host a play date, just a safe place for the kids to play and parents to sit and chat. If you prefer to host at a park or another public venue, please provide a light snack and drink for the children.
In order for this group to continue without the requirement of monthly fees, this policy will be monitored and if you are unable to become more involved, you will be removed.


I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but this is a moms group that was built around play dates. Please contact an organizer to pick your day and time. The day and time are UP TO YOU!! :)


~~Pictures...Please post a picture of yourself somewhere in your profile (especially before your first meetup). This will help the organizers recognize you at the meetups. Remember only members of this group can view your photos.

~~Guests...If you'd like to bring a guest(s) to the meetups that'd be great! Just add them to your RSVP.

~~Message Board
...Please feel free to use the message board as often or for whatever you like. We have turned off the mass email function to cut down on spam type emails. (Please refrain from promoting your business.)

~~Ideas...We encourage you to suggest meetup events or ideas, if you'd like to host a playdate please let us know in advance. We plan the calendar usually 1 month ahead of time.

~~Issues
...If you have any questions or concerns please contact one of the organizers, we will do our best to resolve whatever issues you are facing with the group.

~~Lurkers...don't be a lurker...someone who reads the message board, checks out the calendar, and views profiles with no intention of participating. Kinda creepy.

We are adapting a NO LURKING policy. We are looking to build friendships for moms and kids and there are some members who do not host/attend events or post on the message board ever. This is not to say you have to host an event but you should be attending events OR posting on the board. Starting June 15th you must attend an event once a month or you will be removed from the group. If you are removed from the group due to inactivity you will be permitted to rejoin on a probationary basis for one month.

Common Sense Rules:

Members MUST respect other members and their property.

No member shall use abusive language. I mean, I'll throw some colorful language in a post now and then, but you know the no-nos.

Members shall refrain from harrasment to other members in the group by phone, email or message board

No smoking is permitted during private events. Yes, some people are smokers, but some are not and do not want their children around second hand smoke. So, if you smoke, light up after the playdate.

If you possess firearms, they must be secured and stored properly in your home. This is the homeowners responsibility. If this becomes a problem, then the member with the unsecured firearm will be banned from hosting events in their home.

If you are hosting and have animals in your home, please notify all members before the playgroup, so members with allergies are aware of this. It's a good idea to keep animals, even the friendly ones, out of the room where the playgroup is being held.


Anyone who has complaints about a hostess should contact one of the Organizers right away so it can be addressed in a timely and courteous manner.

Children must be watched BY THEIR PARENTS at all times. Just because you are at someone's house does not mean that you can stop watching your kids. This is all the more reason to keep a tighter rein on your child(ren).

Please do not bring your children to any play dates if they are sick or are contagious. We do not want to spread cold viruses to all of our families! Especially if anyone has had a fever in the last 24-48 hours.

If by chance your child(ren) makes a mess or breaks something, it is YOUR responsibility to clean and/or replace whatever was messed up or broken. It is just common courtesy to do this.


When a member is gracious enough to host a play date at her home, let's all pitch in! We all know how stressful it can be to have a dozen people in our home for an event. So, please let's help with the kid's activities, clean up at the end of the day, and most importantly, supervise your children. We will not babysit your kids, while you talk on your cell phone! When hosting, it is not necessary to provide snacks and drinks, only a safe and clean area for the children to play.


~~Most importantly make some friends and have a great time!
