For just $50 starting each September, our members receive:

  • Invitations to all of our member-only events (over 25 a year!), sent out via Evite.
  • Participation in our playgroups and other programs.
  • Membership in our private Facebook Group (optional).
    Access to the members-only section of the web site.
Why all of the privacy?

We avoid publicizing playgroup times and all of our children’s events and locations for safety reasons.

What does the HWMC spend the $50 on?

Membership dues are used to fund programs and activities for our moms and kids (face painter, easter eggs, live music at events, etc) as well as pay for operational expenses.
