Welcome to our Swartz Creek MOPS blog

Swartz Creek MOPS (Mothers Of Preschoolers) would like to welcome you to our new blog site! This is something very new to us. It is also a work in progress! We hope to update this as much as possible.

Our group is made up of Mommy's from all over Genesee County in the great state of Michigan. We meet once a month, usually on the first Tuesday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Swartz Creek United Methodist Church 7400 Miller Rd. Swartz Creek, Mi. 48473. We like to have fun while lending support and friendship to each other at our meetings. Our Mommy's each take turns bringing in dinner for us and for our children (Moppets). We also provide free child care for our Moppets during our meeting times. We are always looking for new Mommy's to join us.

There is no charge to be a member of this group. We usually have two fundraisers during our year to cover the costs for membership to the MOPS organization and for our supplies, decorations and our annual Christmas party. Our first fundraiser is held in the fall and the second one is held in the spring. We ask our Mommy's to volunteer to help with these two fundraisers to help make them successful! That way we can raise enough money to support us throughout the year.

Not only do our Mommy's range in age their children do too! MOPS Mommy's have children ranging in ages from zero and up. We even have some second time around Mommy's and mentor Mommy's who's children are older that stop by from time to time who lend support to our Mommy's with older children as well as babies and toddlers.

Thanks so much for reading about our group if you would like more information you can post it as a comment and we will answer them for you!
