Newsletter
The San Rafael Mothers' Club Newsletter is clearly the heart of club communication. Many members say that the newsletter by itself is worth the annual membership dues! All current San Rafael Mothers' Club members receive ten issues each calendar year (December/January and June/July are both combined issues). The newsletter includes all the details on upcoming speakers, social activities, club and mini-club meetings - and provides contact information for every function within the San Rafael Mothers' Club. Each issue also includes informative articles and columns on parenting and related issues (such as child health, pediatric dentistry, etc.) by parents and/or local professionals. We maintain a robust Out & About Calendar for ideas of things to do around the Bay Area. This is also the medium where our members share favorite kid-friendly recipes, craft ideas, book reviews, and parenting experiences - observations or tips and advice.
In addition, San Rafael Mothers' Club members are able to place free classified ads to communicate to the entire club - advertising anything from services to products, or a need for services, housing, babysitting, etc. Members and non-members alike advertise relevant products and services in our newsletter, so it can be a good place to find many things a parent needs, such as photographers, kiddy music classes, housecleaners, realtors, and much more!
