What is the MOB?
The
Mothers of Brisbane (MOB) is a parents' club formed in early 2005
by group of mothers in Brisbane, California. We are single,
partnered, married, gay, straight, working, stay-at-home, and
self-employed moms. We come from different backgrounds,
ethnicities, cultures, and experiences – but through it all,
we are mothers. 
We
wanted to create a place where moms could come together to make
friends, learn about community resources, hold fun family events,
arrange playgroups and childcare, share information and support,
and generally have a good time together. Come to a meeting –
membership is free!
The MOB is a mothers’ club and
welcoming community of support for parents of young children in
Brisbane. We currently have over 140 members, and about 15-20 moms
come to our monthly meetings. Although most of our programs and
activities are specifically geared toward mothers of children
under five, we are open to all parents and caregivers in the
Brisbane area. Mommies-to-be are also welcome to join. We offer
meal and errand coordination, home visits, and other support for
new moms.
When do you meet?
The MOB meets
monthly on the 2nd Thursday of the month, from 7:00-9:00pm.
We meet in the banquet room of Bamboo Garden restaurant, located
on the corner of Visitacion Avenue and Mendocino Street in
downtown Brisbane. Feel free to drop in late if you need to and
stay for all or part of the meeting – we understand the
challenges of juggling work, childcare, dinner, etc!
The
MOB Steering Committee meets the 1st Thursday of each month to
plan speakers and activities for our general membership meetings,
and other outings and events. We also work on larger goals such as
improving local playgrounds, encouraging local business
establishments to be family-friendly, and improving services for
families in Brisbane. Everyone is welcome to come to Steering
Committee meetings - bring your ideas!
