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.
How can I get involved in Mothers' Center?
You can get involved with the Mothers' Center in two ways. First, simply

charging admission (Zoo, Aquarium, etc).
2. Option to join Babysitting Coop.

Is it okay for my child to attend events?
Children are welcome at our events, with a few exceptions (such as adult
evening events). In fact, some of the events are specifically designed
for parents and children to attend together.
