The Lake Ridge Moms Club is a group of moms that provides a fun, welcoming place for parents and kids to make friends, learn new skills, and get involved in the community. It is far more than just a playgroup. Our organization provides six main areas in which parents can participate: Community, Social, Babysitting Co-op, Fitness, Mommy Meals, and playgroup. There is definitely something for everyone!
Each month, we have a general meeting where we discuss upcoming activities and have speakers talk about topics important to families, programs to learn new skills, or time to just socialize and have fun. Membership meetings are held the first Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m. at the Tall Oaks Community Center, except for our Open House which will be held Thursday, September 8.
Every Wednesday, our playgroup meets at Canterbury Woods community center or a local playground. The kids love to see each other, and the parents get a chance to relax and chat with each other. Sometimes the Playgroup Co-Chairs will arrange field trips to other nearby kid-friendly spots like Kids n’Motion, Chick-Fila, or even the National Zoo.
The social committee plans fun activities for the whole family. From a monthly Mom’s Night Out to couples nights to quarterly family parties, there are entertaining options throughout the year.
Our community committee works to identify needs in our community and organize ways for our club to meet those needs. Past projects have included coat and food drives, adopting families during the holidays, serving breakfast at a local shelter, walking the March of Dimes March for Babies, remodeling a room for an ACTS shelter, and raising funds for school supplies for underprivileged children. By getting involved in our community, we are encouraging our children to give back and making Prince William County a better place to live.
The Babysitting Co-Op provides an opportunity for families to exchange childcare services without exchanging money. Parents and children get to know and trust each other through Co-op meetings and events. Membership in the Co-Op is open to any current Moms Club member, however, the Co-Op is limited to 25 members.
Another way that our organization supports our members is by providing meals after a family has welcomed a new child, had a family member that has been hospitalized or ill, or for any other necessary reason. Our Mommy Meals chair coordinates our members who have volunteered to cook one or two healthy meals for the family and drop them off at the family’s home. It is a great way for us to encourage each other and provide a little help to our friends.
Our newest committee, Fitness, is another great way that we encourage each other. By planning day and evening work-out options, the Fitness committee makes it fun to exercise and stay fit.
You do not have to be a Lake Ridge Association member to join, so please join us at our Open House to meet our members and check out everything we have to offer. Please stop by, learn more about each committee, enjoy some refreshments and conversation, and hear about what we have planned for this upcoming year.
-Kerry Coleman-Proksch, Lake Ridge Moms Club president.
