MEMBERSHIP

REQUIREMENTS

 

MedinaCHF members have many opportunities to gather together on a regular basis.  We participate in field trips and other activities throughout the year and there is always something to choose from going on each month.  We have a wide range of events that happen on various days/times during the week.  You are not required to attend every event.  Our group offers friendships and fellowship without the strict “weekly” requirement.  We ask that you plan one event per year and attend a minimum of three other events/activities.  There are usually over 45 events/activities to choose from throughout the year.

​

A typical year would include the following:

30+ field trips/events

6+ park dates

6+ open gym days

4+ mom’s nights out

4+ teen nights

3+ parties/picnics

regular roller skating

​

Park and open gym days are most often held on Friday or Thursday afternoons (depending on availability). 

Moms' nights out will try to be scheduled on the first Thursday or Friday night of the month if possible

 

General Schedule (not including members' planned field trips/events {30+}):

​

August or September – Kick-off Picnic

September – Park

October - Park & Mom's Night Out

November – Open Gym & Harvest Party

December – Open Gym & Christmas Party

January – Open Gym & Mom's Night Out

February – Open Gym & Mom's Night Out

We ask that you only apply for membership if you know that you can meet our minimum requirement (explained below) and participate in some of our field trips and activities.

​​

​

​

• Each member MUST organize at least one field trip or event. An event may include coordinating a holiday party, a club (such as a book club, chess club, drama club, etc.), or any other type of group activity (such as roller skating, bowling, sled riding, cookie decorating party, swimming, playground/park date, etc.).  ​

​

• Each member MUST attend at least three coordinated activities throughout the extended school year (August–May). This can be any combination of activities (field trip, organized event, library meeting, holiday party, or mom’s night out). This does not include the field trip/event/party that you plan.

​

• We ask for a donation of $12.00 per family (each year) for incidental expenses.

​
