NOMOTC hosted a Multiples Family Festival in Dallas, Texas on April 25^th on the last
day of the Texas Mothers of Multiple Convention. Over 200 people attended the festivities
which was open to the public.  During the exciting afternoon event, there were games for the
children, multiples contests of many categories, refreshments, prizes, coloring stations, balloons,
and vendors showcasing multiples merchandise.   The highlight of the day was a Photo Shoot
Contest.  More than forty families were photographed.  The winning multiples photo will appear
on the cover of a future edition of NOMOTC’s Notebook. Be looking for the other families
photos within the pages of NOMOTC’s Notebook or any of our other publications.  We
thank all of the families who participated in the Festival and can’t wait to see where we will
be next year for the third annual Multiples Family Festival.

The National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families of multiple birth children through education, research, and networking.  In partnering with local support groups, health care providers, researchers, and educators, and with the highest standards of integrity, respect and professionalism, we endeavor to aid parents of multiples and to raise public awareness of the unique qualities of multiple birth families. In support of our mission, NOMOTC is proud to announce the second annual    National Multiple Birth Awareness  (MBA) Month which will be held in April 2010.  Once again will  be working with our clubs in planning  local and national events in support of educating our communities about the wonderful world of multiples; and to spread the word about the support groups and networks existing today which can provide ongoing support.

 

It's About You - Each of you - local support groups, educators, medical professionals, and media  personnel - play a critical role in this endeavor.   During April 2010, we are asking that you involve your local community by planning events to raise the awareness of multiple births while celebrating these special individuals and their families.  Our 2010 goal is to double the number of clubs that share their local events and celebrations with other clubs on our MBA website. NOMOTC has put together this Multiple Birth Awareness Kit to help you get started.   It includes event ideas, press releases, flyers, and communications that can be used in planning and executing your local awareness efforts.  No event is too small and many events can come together to make a lasting impact.
