Thanks for Making the CMOMs’ Clothing & Equipment Sale a Big Success!
Thank you to Kia Veltkamp (Sale Chair), the Sale Committee, and all of our devoted volunteers, sellers and shoppers for making the Fall/Winter 2008 Clothing & Equipment Sale a big success! We don't have final numbers to share just yet, but keep checking here for the updates! We will be sending out a Sale Survey so please watch for that. The Sale Committee is dedicated to putting on the best sale possible, and we want to know what worked, what didn't, and how we can continue to improve!

Where Did Everything Go?
We are beginning to work on updating our web site for the next fiscal year. These changes include re-organizing the main tabs of the site to reflect the three goals of CMOMs: Providing Support, Building Friendships, and Community Service. Please be patient with us as we make these changes in anticipation of a new web site design to be unveiled over Labor Day weekend! Please contact the webmaster if you have comments or questions about the changes.

Did You Know That You Can Advertise Your Business on the CMOMs Site?
Many of our MOMs have multiple talents too. We offer a business directory on the CMOMs wiki page. You can add your business listing to the Directory of CMOMS Businesses. Follow the wiki directions on the right side of the page to edit a wiki.
In addition, we offer you opportunities to advertise by having a rotatating ad on the CMOMs site. Starting August 1st, the ad structure is changing so that any mom will be able to afford a graphic ad on the CMOMs site. See the Advertising Page for more information or contact Talitha if you have additional questions.
