MOMS Club of Weber & Davis County, UT
 
Behavioral Guidelines

​

Basics:

​

1. Parents are responsible for the actions of their children at all MOMS Club activities. Physical assault will not be tolerated (including hitting, slapping, punching, pinching, biting, etc.). Please remove the child from the situation and address it in an appropriate manner. You may be asked to “shadow” your child through a particular aggressive phase.

2. When attending events at members’ homes, please be helpful and respectful of their home and belongings. The host should have a printed sign-in/waiver sheet for attending members to sign.

3. Each member will be responsible for cleaning up after themselves and their children’s mess, including toys, snacks, etc. at activities and playgrounds. 

4. Illness: Members should not bring their children to activities when they are sick or have symptoms including but not limited to vomiting, diarrhea, extreme lethargy, oral temperature of 100+ degrees, severe cough, pain, discharge from the eyes, green mucus, or any other communicable disease, such as chickenpox, etc. 

5. No smoking, or vaping at any MOMS Club function where children are present. 

Membership:

​

1. Only members in good standing may hold office, participate in club activities, programs, parties, groups, receive the newsletter and roster, and vote at meetings. A member in good standing is defined as one who has paid current dues, or whose dues have been waived by the Executive Board and signed a Liability Form & Behavioral Guideline Policy.

2. Every year, each chapter is required by MOMS Club International to participate in at least one service project to benefit the community. All members are expected to vote on and support these important events to the best of their ability.

3. While we do not have an attendance policy, please see below for Calendar Guidelines regarding hosting events and RSVPing to events.

4. We highly encourage members to attend member meetings as much as possible. These meetings hold great importance to our group. Attending member meetings allow us to build a stronger group together and stay up to date on the things that are taking place in the group.

Privacy and Respect:

​

1. The MOMS Club of Davis and Weber County is a closed private group and the Social Media groups are for the use of current members in good standing only. Negative posts or comments towards other members will not be tolerated and the post or comment will be removed. The offending member may have their posting rights revoked for a period of time determined by the Executive Board. 

2. Respect at all times for other members is paramount (no gossip, slander, bullying, gas lighting, no discussions of religion or politics, no inappropriate emails/messages, no harassment or threatening language or behaviors).

3. There will be NO solicitation of products/services. The only exception is on provided Social Media threads such as Kids’ Fundraisers and Monthly Business Posts. Specifically: MLM (multi-level marketing) owned by a member may be posted in the monthly business post, but please do not send personal invites out for a party (only post party link in comments on monthly business post). Fundraisers must be kid related and not to benefit the Mother.

4. Email addresses and information in the MOMS Club Directories, Rosters, and all contents are for the use of MOMS Club purposes only and should not be used for any business or non-chapter purposes.

5. Any photos and personal information shared within the group is not to be shared outside the group.

6. Disagreements between any members of MOMS Club should be resolved on your own time, directly and privately with that person, and not at MOMS Club functions or on our group social media outlets. There should not be screenshots of texts or conversations taken and shared with anyone. THINK before you speak, is what you are saying: True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, Kind? 

Calendar Guidelines:

We welcome any member to add events to the calendar. Please keep the following guidelines in mind when doing so:

​

1. MOMS Club International encourages prioritizing family time, so please get approval from the Executive Board before creating an evening or weekend event without kids. 

2. Event Titles on the Calendar should not list the specific location for safety purposes, as those titles are public. 

3. Events on the calendar are open to all members and should be focused on the group community as a whole. 

4. Commitment to Hosting Events: Please only add events to “Call for activities” if you are 100% committed. If something comes up, please find a co-host rather than cancel. When creating an event, it is OK to state the activity is weather permitting.

5. Commitment to RSVP: Communication keeps this club running smoothly, members putting their time and energy into hosting deserve respect for that effort. If you cannot commit 100% to attending, please select nothing or “MAYBE” on the RSVP. Please change your RSVP from “GOING” to “CAN’T GO” if your plans suddenly change. Private message the host if you need to help explain your need to change. Chronic no show with no communication will be asked to not RSVP. The same goes for chronic cancellations of events. Members that cancel their own events too often will be asked not to create events.

6. Overlapping Activities on the Calendar: Please always communicate with the host of the original activity before posting your overlapping event. Examples of when overlapping is OK: If a toddler story time or playdate runs the same time as a Moms Matinee Movie, etc. 

​

If you have any questions, please ask. 

Any violation of the Behavior Guidelines will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may be subject to a formal disciplinary process determined by the Executive Board. First Offense - verbal warning and three-month probation, Second Offense - written warning with three month probation, Third Offense - Board may revoke membership without refunding dues.

I have read the above guidelines and agree to adhere to this policy. All participation is voluntary, and I accept that the final responsibility for my safety and that of my family rests with me.
