Welcome to the Mothers' Center
We are the local chapter of the not-for-profit National Association of Mothers' Centers, serving the Northport/East Northport & surrounding communities for over a decade.
We believe motherhood is a lifelong journey & that there is a body of knowledge that needs to be learned and shared.
We provide a welcoming, open, non-judgmental environment where every mother has a equal voice.
Become a member to meet other Moms, share parenting skills, share your creative skills, socialize, & join playgroups
and Mommy & Me classes, in a supportive, caring environment.
We are a co-operative. For a nominal yearly membership fee, new members can join
throughout the year & participate in various Mothers' Center activities and
also receive a subscription to our monthly newsletter, Touchstone.
We are non-sectarian & meet at the United Methodist Church, 1018 Pulaski Rd., East Northport (near the corner of Larkfield Rd.)
To join, call
834-7192.

The Northport Mothers' Center
16th Annual Holiday House
Tour and Sale
Saturday, December 6th, 2008 - 10AM -
3PM
Admission: $15.00
(Tickets go on sale starting November 1st)
Enjoy
live music and delicious bakes goods as you experience the
transformation of three Northport Village homes into Silent
Night, Deck the Halls and
Gingerbread Lane.
Begin your holiday shopping with the unique crafts and gifts
that fill these beautiful homes and enjoy some freshly baked
cookies with apple cider or hot chocolate at our
complimentary teahouse.
WHAT
IS THE HOUSE TOUR?
The Holiday House Tour is a
tour of the first floor of three or more homes in the
Northport area. The homes are decorated, by Mothers’
Center members, in different themes for the holidays. Unique
handmade items from selected vendors and items made by
Mothers’ Center members are sold the day of the tour as
well as giving the public ideas to take with them on how to
decorate their own homes for the holidays.
WHO
COMES?
The
year 2008 marks our 16th anniversary of the tour,
so we now have quite a following. Nevertheless, this year we
plan to make the House Tour more widely known in the
community and across Long Island. We will be selling tickets
via Mother Center members
as well as through local merchants.
WHY
DO WE DO IT?
As our main
source of funding, the House Tour is vital to the life of
the Center. The
money we raise essentially covers the majority of our
operating budget for the year. A successful House Tour
ensures that members do not have to do individual
fundraising (selling merchandise to our friends and family).
WHAT
ARE OUR GOALS FOR THE HOUSE TOUR?
-
To generate funds for the Center. -
- To make connections between members. -
-
To promote the Mothers’ Center to the community. -
