Frequently Asked Questions

Fort Collins Mothers' Center is a relaxed place, without formal orientations for new people. It is a common occurrence for people to learn about Mothers' Center simply by jumping right in, but we recognize that people often need some basic questions answered.

What is Mothers' Center?

Practically speaking, Mothers' Center is a group of mothers who come together to learn, to receive and give support to one another, and to provide activities for ourselves and other parents. Each activity is selected because someone in the group is interested in it and because we believe it will appeal to others.

How does Mothers' Center support itself?

We are a volunteer organization. Operation funds for Mothers' Center come from membership fees and fundraising.

Tell me about committees.

Mothers' Center is organized into committees that deal with various aspects of operation. The Steering Committee, the principal guiding force of Mothers' Center, is comprised of Representatives from each committee and any interested parties. Committees include, Finance, Fundraising, Membership, Programming, and Public Relations. Volunteers are always welcome in all of these groups.

Where do Mothers' Center events take place?

Mothers' Center events generally occur in members' homes, parks, or other commercial venues. Occasionally, we use the facilities of the Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church at 1200 South Taft Hill Road; however, we are not affiliated with any religious, educational, or social service organization.

What does it mean to host an event?

The hostess or contact for each event coordinates the logistics of that event -- what, where, when, and registration which is generally through Big Tent -- our member social networking site. This is an easy and fun way for new members to get involved.
