ABOUT SPRING WORKSHOP The Illinois Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs, Inc. holds an annual Spring Workshop in April to give member affiliates the opportunity to share information and ideas about issues that affect local mothers of twins clubs. Held on the 3rd or 4th Saturday in April, the Spring Workshop also gives IOMOTC officers and board chairmen, and local club representatives and members a chance to review the organization's business and to set goals for the rest of the year. The Spring Workshop
begins with morning breakout sessions which are typically
run as roundtable discussions on subjects of general
interest to clubs. Recent topics have included, After the morning session, Spring
Workshop attendees enjoy a delicious luncheon meal as
they socialize with other mothers of twins and triplets
from across Illinois. Since the Spring Following the luncheon, club representatives and members discuss the organization's business at the IOMOTC Full Board meeting. IOMOTC officers and committee chairmen report on their activities and new projects are discussed. Members share their concerns, and brainstorming often leads to improved services and support for everyone. The Convention host club also previews its plans for the October Convention and information is distributed.
IOMOTC's motto is "Strength Through Unity;" and the Spring Workshop brings club representatives and members together for a day of networking, planning, socializing, and growing stronger through unified efforts. Home | Local Clubs | Twin

"Programs and Speakers,"
"Clothing and Equipment Sales," "How to
Keep Older Members," "Club Newsletters,"
and "How to Publicize Your Local Club." These
roundtable discussion workshops help member clubs improve
the level of support and service they extend to their
local members and community at large. Club
representatives often bring examples to share of flyers,
newsletters, clothing sale tags, or other successful
ideas that have worked for their own club. The workshop
co-ordinators also prepare packets to hand out. Members
agree that the breakout workshop sessions are informative
and helpful.
Workshop is hosted by the club which has
successfully bid to host the upcoming Fall Convention,
the luncheon offers the first opportunity to present the
Convention theme. Luncheon tables are decorated with
thematic centerpieces that add to the festive atmosphere
and leave Workshop attendees interested in seeing what
the upcoming Convention will bring. During the luncheon,
Workshop attendees also can participate in raffles and
purchase items from the IOMOTC State Store, "Double
Deals."
The day
usually concludes with a fun activity such as a river
paddleboat ride or perhaps a bunco party, where everyone
goes home with a white elephant gift. Conversations among
members naturally turn to their experiences as mothers of
multiples. Learning from and helping each other is one of
the primary goals of IOMOTC.
