Mountain Moms and Little Folks is a non-profit
social, educational, and charitable organization
in the Auburn, California area for families with
small children. We publish a monthly calendar
of events for moms, kids, dads, and the entire
family. We get together and form friendships,
share helpful hints on child rearing, give our
children the opportunity to play with other children,
and offer moral support. We have fun!
We offer many activities each month. You can
choose what fits your schedule and interests.
You will find that the more things you attend,
the more members you will meet, and the more fun
you'll have!
There is a nominal membership fee, which covers
the cost of the monthly newsletter, children's
and adult's parties, insurance, and yearly donations
to local charities
which benefit children. We keep everything as
affordable as possible – most of our activities
are free.
By the way, the fun doesn't stop as the kids
get bigger. We also have an alumni group which
gets together several times a month for activities
geared toward families with school-aged children.
Anybody who was a member of Mountain Moms &
Little Folks for at least one year and whose youngest
child is of kindergarten age or older is eligible
to participate. To learn more about the alumni
group, click here.
Most of our activities are geared toward children
ages 5 and younger; however, we do have activities
and parties throughout the year that include older
children. We have a monthly calendar of events
that is different each month, and offers something
to choose from almost every day. Some of the events
are Tea & Tots (play dates at members homes
where children play and moms chat), tours, park
days, camping trips, baby playtimes, birth year
play dates (for those born in 2002, etc.), gymnastics
days, family holiday parties, adult parties, mom's
craft nights, a monthly mom's night out, family
picnics, dad's bike rides or poker nights, stroller
rollers, ice skating days, train rides, beer brewing,
mom's scrap-booking, children's and adult's cooking
classes, and many more.

We have a board of directors
which meets every month. If you think you would
be interested in seeing how the group works and
helping make the decisions, we would love to have
you join us. If you don't want to take on a job
yourself, you can share the position.

Are you pregnant or thinking of adding another
little one to your family in the future? Have
you recently had a surgery and/or illness? Helping
Hands is a service of Mountain Moms and Little
Folks where members provide meals to other members
who have just had or adopted a child.

Every member is asked to help with or host two
events per year in order to ensure a full calendar.
Members are also asked to help with one fundraiser
per year.

Not sure you want to spend money to join yet?
No problem! Simply contact
us and we'll send you a detailed calendar
of events with RSVP information and you can try
events for a month. If you find events you want
to attend, simply call the RSVP people to let
them know you are a prospective member who is
trying some events. If you get an answering machine
when you call, please be sure to leave your phone
number so the RSVP people can call you if the
event needs to be cancelled.
Remember, since we have so many members, you
may go to a few events before seeing a familiar
face, so get out there and try lots of events.
And don't worry if your children aren't perfectly
behaved, neither are ours. Our events are geared
with the temperament of a small child in mind.
