Are you a mother who is looking for some fellow moms to connect with? Then check out Clarkston area group ‘The Mom Squad,? which started four years ago.
‘It was a group of moms from the Clarkston Free Methodist Church who felt they needed an organization like this,? said Barbra Chick, Mom Squad member.
Chick said the group is not just for church members, but is open to the community.
‘Any mom at any age or stage,? said Chick. ‘We even have grandma’s that come, moms of moms that attend on a regular basis.?
Chick said some mom organizations only deal with mothers with pre-schoolers, but she is happy to have a variety of ages.
‘It’s really nice for everybody because then we can learn from the veteran moms,? she said.
There is a class for pre-schoolers taught by two grandmas at the church, which includes story time and snacks, and there is a nursery for younger children which is run by volunteer help each week.
‘Moms can get together with uninterrupted time together,? said Chick.
Each month has a different theme, and each week features new things rather it be a special speaker, for example this past week a nutritionist came in and spoke to the mothers about child nutrition, or just a fun event such as ‘spa day,? which was held last month.
‘Spa day is just a wonderful time we have, we have so many generous salons in the area that came in and are willing to donate their time away from clients to provide us with free services,? said Chick. ‘It’s just a nice time to be pampered, just to relax and have a good time.?
Chick said she and all the ladies are very thrilled of the donations and support by the different people and salons. The salons pampered the women with manicures, hair makeovers, and face makeovers, as well as a chair massage by Kate Thompson. The salons included Salon Williams, Reflections of Clarkston and Glitz Salon of Clarkston.
