The purpose of this local support group shall be:
a) To provide a support group from mothers who choose to stay at home to raise their children
b) to provide a forum for topics pertinent to children, child-raising, homemaking, personal improvement and family;
c) To engage in activities to enrich the lives of children in the community;
d) To undertake and complete at least one charitable, humanitarian or social welfare project related to children each year.
The principles of this local support group shall be:
a) That women must be free to choose their personal path to fulfillment;
b) That, for women who choose it, raising children is an important and fulfilling full-time job;
c) That a family’s decision for a mother to stay at home to raise the children often involves considerable financial sacrifice;
d) That there is no right way to raise children, but that a major reason for the members to come together is their desire to seek out mothers with a common concern for raising their children in the best possible and most healthful way;
e) That children are a community’s greatest resource, and that a community’s concern for its children is marked by the quality of its schools.
