Mothers of Twins Club of Suffolk County
a support group for parents of twins and higher order multiples
Happy Summer Friends!
Thank you all for entrusting me again to be your VP. I am so proud of this position and I hope to make your proud one more time!
Take the summer to relax and enjoy your littles. They say you only get 18 summers with your children, so make the best of every moment. You never know which will become a core memory!
Ask not what your club can do for you, ask what you can do for your club. We encourage all of our members to participate and join one of our committees. You get what you give, and we enjoy having all the help we can get. The officers can’t do it alone!
Thank you all again, Have a wonderful summer and we will see you on August 11th for our first meeting of the new year!

Letter from our Vice President
Hello everyone,
I was wondering what I would write for this double issue. So I decided to take you all on a journey that includes all of you. Thinking back when I found out that I was pregnant with twins I was taking classes at Suffolk Community College and the first person I told was a woman who had 17-year twin boys. I always loved being in clubs even in school, so finding a twins club was the first thing I did the following day. I never heard from them for months. Only to find out that they didn't take pregnant women. Fast forward to now. Moms need us when they find out they are pregnant and I am glad that we can share all our stories to help our new members navigate an amazing but what can be a confusing time. I am not sure if you all understand what a amazing group of women you all are.
I would like to thank all the chairpersons for all their help this year. (Nadine, Daniela, Amy, Marty, Shira, Kristen, Janine, Jane, Christina, Doreen G, Michelle W, Susie, Lesley). I know this is a volunteer position and life can get in our way but you have helped to make this club a success. Thank you to all the members who show up every month and share your stories with us. It doesn't matter if your children are grown or little, we are all here because of that moment we found out we were having twins. Some of us had singles prior and thought this is easy. That is so funny. Some thought it was easy having twins and decided to have more. And then some said "Two is enough". We have all shared our joys and sadness with each other and made great friends a long the way. We may be different ages but we all bring so much knowledge.
I want to thank Michelle Kesner for taking on role of Treasurer this year. You have done an amazing job. I have always thought being treasurer is a tough job. But you did it with grace. Michelle Williams thank you for always having paperwork ready and to go when we ask at the last minute and I mean last minute. And I love your cookies you bring.
Thank you Ericka for being my hand right man. You always make me laugh even when we have to be serious. We may not always agree on things but at the end we always make sure it would benefit the club. Thank you for being the person of reason.
June 6th is the New Members Tea at Amy's house in Smithtown NY. Daniela and Amy have worked hard to make this a success. And I can't wait to honor our New Members.
June 9th is our installation dinner at Satalite Restaurant in Sayville at 7pm. Nadine and Daniela have done a great job. I hope to see all of you there.
Thank you all for a wonderful year.
Happy Flag Day
Happy Juneteenth
Happy Father's Day
Love and hugs,
Diana
President
