The Frederick County Parents of Multiples is a support
network for parents, grandparents and caregivers of twins, triplets, and other higher order multiples. Established in 1990, the club hopes to provide you with the opportunity to learn about raising multiples and offer support and advice to each of its
members.
Everyone is welcome to join us at any meeting to find out what our organization is all
about and to see if they would be interested in joining the group. Prospective members
have three months to check out our club and receive our monthly newsletter before
deciding if they would like to join. Annual dues are $22 for active members and $11 for non-active members. Those joining the club after Feb 1st pay $11 for active and $6 for
non-active status.
We meet the first Wednesday of the month at 7pm at the Monocacy Valley Church.

President’s Pen
Suzanne Flook
I survived my second yard sale experience; a great two days spent with awesome women, great deals & loads of laughs! My shopping bags were on the smaller size this time around, as my kids are able to wear a lot of their clothing from last summer for the first time (yeah!!!) I did have to buy a few small toys as my children, mostly my daughter, know that I am selling their old stuff so we can buy new. She was very excited to get a Barbie styling head - thanks Victoria! It's also saving my poor hair from tangles, yanks and pulls as she "tries to make me beautiful." I hope to see many of you at the Mother's Day dinner - an evening to relax & be served a meal that we don't have to clean up, to chew our food thoroughly before we swallow (and actually taste it!), to carry a small purse that isn't loaded with candy, crayons & wipes, and to celebrate who we are & all that we do. Whether you have two kids or four, whether you're still up nursing three times a night or dropping children off at school, we've all been there, we can all relate & we can all tell each other "you'll survive and this phase won't last forever."
Thank goodness for other moms! :)
