Fun-d Events
More Money Equals More Fun
.
.
The Conejo Valley Mother’s of Multiples club is a non-profit organization that supports mothers of multiples. We keep our annual dues lower by offering various fund-raisers throughout the year. The vice-president(s) of Ways and Means head up the fund-raising events by offering fun, supportive events that provide value to the community and our members while raising additional money for the club. Approximately 1/2 of the club’s annual budget is raised with these events. We encourage our members to participate in at least 2 events during the year to help us raise money and keep our dues low.
ANNUAL DINNER AND SILENT AUCTION – JUNE
This event is 45 years in the making now! A long tradition of CVMOM’s that usually raises the lion’s share of funds for the Ways and Mean’s committee. A dinner is held (usually on the first Saturday night of June) with an auction. The silent auction often includes over 100 items, ranging from spa services to baskets of toys to home interior items. A live auction is also included with high-ticket items like vacation get always, family photo settings at Westlake’s top studios or tickets to sporting events.
How can you help?
- Mark your calendar now for the first Saturday night in June and attend the dinner/auction. Come out, have fun, enjoy yourself and buy stuff! Help gather donations for the silent auction (ask your regular shop keepers for donations, your hair dresser, dentist, vet, etc.) (*NOTE – the 1st Saturday night in June may not always be the date for the dinner/auction, so look for more information in the monthly newsletters, or contact 2nd Vice President/Ways and Means for more information.
- Offer to be on a committee for the dinner or auction ( we need help with decorations, putting baskets together, etc.)
Each month at the social meeting (the first Wednesday of the month) we raffle off great prizes. For only $1 you get 3 tickets and can win a prize (or sometimes, your choice of several prizes!). An example of the prizes include a huge picnic basket of beautiful blue/yellow china with table cloth and toys for the kids; gift certificates for several things (massage, yoga classes, hair cuts, dinners at Applebee’s, appetizers at California Pizza Kitchen, passes for skating, etc.) It’s a fun, easy way to support the club each month for only $1 and a chance to win, win, win!
How can you help?
- Bring a dollar or two and buy raffle tickets.
- Win, Win, Win!
ANNUAL FAMILY PHOTOS – OCTOBER
At a location to be determined, a professional photographer comes to take family pictures of CVMOM members and anyone that you invite. The cost is only a $20 (tax deductable) donation to CVMOM to secure your sitting and $50 made payable to the photographer, at the time of the appointment, for a disc of all of the photographs taken during your 20 minute portrait session. Contact 2nd Vice President/Ways and Means for more information and watch the monthly newsletters for more information.
How can you help?
- Pay the $20.00 and make an appointment.
- Tell all your friends.
HOLIDAY SHOPPING BOUTIQUE – NOVEMBER
Right before the holidays, we offer a shopping boutique (usually at the November social meeting, the first Wednesday night of November). Bring your shopping lists and get a TON of shopping done without the kids hanging on to you! Usually in attendance are a wide variety of home-based businesses (often CVMOMs themselves — we try and support one-another). Last year’s event included: Pampered Chef, Discovery Toys, PartyLite Candles, Creative Memories, Tupperware, etc. as well as several ladies who make home-made gifts. This year we plan to add vendors who offer skin care items, jewelry, ladies clothes, kids clothes, purses, home decor, etc.

We have an account set up where our club can purchase gift cards for a variety of the stores that you use every day and while you can use them like cash, a % of the card amount is returned to the club! You don’t even have to leave the house to get them, and it costs NO MORE than you would normally spend anyways. You can also register your grocery club cards on the site, and CVMOM will receive a percentage of your purchase prices!
