 MPOMC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization providing friendship, advice and education concerning the care and development of multiple birth children. We maintain a library of publications concerning twins and higher order multiples and have access to research and information for parents of special needs children. Membership is open to all parents and guardians of multiple birth children.
Meetings are held the third Monday of the month except in July and December. Expectant moms are welcome to attend meetings as our guest for free until the birth of their multiples. Other guests are invited to attend 2 meetings before deciding to join and pay dues. Attending these meetings is a great way to learn about how our club works and become more involved in activities.
Full membership includes 10 issues of our local club's newsletter 'Twin Crier', membership in the Indiana Federation of Mothers of Multiples Club and the quarterly publication 'Twindiana', membership in the National Organization of Mother's of Twins Club and bi-monthly issues of 'Notebook.'
The South Bend Mothers of Twins Club was organized in April of 1967 and was founded by Mary Ann Freeze. The club title changed to South Bend-Mishawaka Mothers of Twins Club in June of 1987 to reflect the growing membership. We simplified the title in June of 1992 and became the Michiana Mothers of Twins Club. The club named changed once more in 1999 to Michiana Parents of Multiples to include both Mothers and Fathers in membership as well as to appear more welcoming to parents of triplets and higher order multiples.
The club's official colors are gold and white and our flower is the rose. Our motto is "Where God Chooses the Members." |
