We are a community organization comprised of families in the Amador Valley area, focusing on children between the ages of birth through age five. The Club was started in October 1993, and has since grown to approximately 160 members. Our goal is to nurture the nurturer. We offer many playgroups, activities, outings and parties that can provide a great social and support network. The club is what we make it. You are encouraged to be as involved as you wish!

For more information or questions, please contact Elizabeth Shackelford.

Swap & Scrap

Friday, May 2nd @ 6pm

Aren’t we all looking for ways to cram more things into less time? That’s what inspired our new Card Swap Plus Club! Now those interested in swapping cards each month can also scrapbook the night away. And if you don’t want to swap cards, you are invited to come and scrapbook with us or work on any project that you can’t seem to finish at home with all of the distractions! We will now be meeting at Pleasant Memories in Pleasanton on the first Friday of each month from 6- midnight. In order to attend this event, please contact Pleasant Memories directly at (925) 227-0113 and ask to be added to the “AMC group” Roselle Ito.

Mom's Outing - Annual Mother's Day Brunch

Sunday, May 4th @ 10:30am

Champagne, crab legs, and eating an entire meal without cutting up someone else's food, saying "sit down" 27 times, or having to share your dessert. What more could a mother ask for? Join us as AMC celebrates....YOU! Our Mothers' Day brunch at the Pleasanton Hotel. We guarantee you'll leave VERY full, relaxed, and rejuvenated! And you might even take home a few raffle prizes. All for just $15. Contact Carrie Queen ASAP to attend this event.

Kid's Outing

Tuesday, May 6th @ 10am

Back by popular demand! Join us for a morning of indoor play at Picture Perfect Party (4564 Dublin Blvd, Dublin). They have a wonderful play room filled with pretend play, train table, blocks, legos, drawing, dress up, and a giant inflatable slide! Cost is $8 per child (additional children are $4). Space is limited to the first 20 children, so rsvp asap! For more info, please contact Elizabeth Shackelford.

General Meeting

Tuesday, May 13th @ 7:30pm

Do you sometimes feel clueless as a parent when it comes to discipline situations with your child? Do you say things like "I am not going to tell you again!” when you know full well that you are going to tell her again? Are you clueless about how to deal with "power plays" such as eating, bedtime, toilet training, sibling rivalry, disrespect, whining, and temper tantrums?
Come hear Kelly McIntosh, the director of Shining Light Preschool, as we look at the Creative Clues for Discipline: The 3 R’s. Even if you've heard her speak before, don't miss this meeting because your children are moving through different stages -- from the "no's" at 18 months to "mine" at 2 years through the "but whys?" of preschool. You should try to stay one step ahead.

A reminder that the new location for our GMs is at Child Care Links in Pleasanton.
1020 Serpentine Lane, Suite 102
Pleasanton, CA 94566
It's not far from our old location, just off Valley. There is plenty of parking and no pressure to buy any coffee! We will provide water and a snack (likely something in the cookie or brownie families).

Coffee Talk

Wednesday, May 14th @ 10am

Let's meet at Super Franks in Pleasanton! It's our last meeting before we take a break for the summer... Come have some hot coffee or maybe iced tea.

Movie Night

Thursday, May 22nd @ 7:30pm

Ready for a gut buster? How can you turn down Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher?? Come out for our May Movie, What Happens in Vegas. RSVP for an update with the exact time as the date gets closer, but we generally see movies that start between 7:30 and 8.
