September 2010 Activities

The Chico Mothers' Club offers a number of different activities for its members. We try to offer a balance of activities for kids, moms, and families each month. Some activities happen every month, others are seasonal or special one-time events.   CMC members will often plan events for the club and put them on the calendar or send an invitation to the Yahoo list.  Below is a list of the events planned for September.  If you would like the specifics for any event, you can check the Yahoo list for the specifics.  If you are not a member but these events look interesting, get your membership form in ASAP and join us!  In addition, we include an "Around Town" calendar for family friendly events in Chico and the surrounding area!

Playgroups

Playgroups are organized by age of the child.   The groups meet once a week at a day, time and place that works for the members.   Infant groups often meet at members' homes, while preschool groups often rotate going to parks and other fun places. The groups are a great source of support and friendship for both the moms and the kids.   For more information you can visit our playgroups page.

Upcoming Events

Halloween Party - October 2010

Holiday Party - December 2010

Bumper Bowling  

At the bowling alley there are a few lanes that have “bumpers.” This allows little ones to bowl without the balls going in the gutter. Also, there are light balls made for little ones to use, and for those that can’t roll the ball, there are ramps. It really is fun and not just for the big kids!

Pool Days  

Just another location to get moms club people together. The pool days are either at PV pool or Shapiro pool during their recreational swim hours.

Nature Center Tour

The Chico Nature Center provides great information about the natural world in and around Chico. The CMC does not go to the Nature Center on a regular basis, but playgroups meet there sometimes. They also give tours and talks.

Sacramento Zoo Trip

This trip usually happens about once a year.

Fire Station Visit     

This outing usually happens when people start requesting it. In the past, CMC has gone about twice a year. We have visited a few different stations in the past, most recently, Fire station #5 because it is brand new and it has a “fire pole”.

University Farm Tour        

Once a year the CMC goes to the Chico State University Farm. It is usually in spring when there are baby pigs and calves.

Ice Cream Social

During the summer months there is a scheduled trip to the Ice Cream Parlor about once a month.

Orland Train Ride   

CMC does this about twice a year. Bring your lunch and have a fun time.

Book Family Farm Pumpkin Patch

Every October the CMC schedules a trip to the Book Family Farm where kids get to pick pumpkins, take a wagon ride and see lots of animals.

Couple's Night Out

This event is for moms and dads to get together with other couples. Usually consists of dinner and an activity. We’ve done dinner and bowling, dinner and laser tag, dinner and a movie.
