Welcome to the Greater Severna Park Mom's Club ("GSPMC")
We are the GSPMC! Because we know how wonderful (and life-changing) it can be to have children, we offer support and entertainment through new friendships and networking. The GSPMC hold monthly meetings and offers many activities for moms and kids. Pick what interests you and join in the fun.
Our History
The GSPMC was originally part of the Severna Park Newcomers Club, where activities were planned for mothers of small children. As the group grew from approximately 15 participants in 1981, the mothers decided to become a separate entity with their own charter and by-laws. The club became The Greater Severna Park Mothers and Toddlers and consisted of 50 original members in 1983.
The reflect a diversity of members and activities, the GSPMC membership voted to change the name to the Greater Severna Park Mom's Club in 1994. Today, the GSPMC has over 150 members and continues to offer a wide range of activities for all interests.

Adult Socials - Summer Crab Feasts, Wine Tasting, Holiday Dinner Parties and "Bunco" are just sample of events that this committee has organized. Members, spouses and friends are all welcome to share in the fun.

Book Club - Small groups of Moms get together monthly or bimonthly in members' homes to discuss a book of mutual interest.
Community Outreach - The GSPMC seeks to promote family involvement within the community. From collecting donations for our local food pantry to taking kids to visit residents at an assisted living facility, the Community Outreach Committee strives to connect the Mom's Club and its members to give back to the community in ways which can make a difference for everyone involved. Charities include, The Severna Park Assistance Network (SPAN), The Stork's Nest and the Sunrise Assisted Living Center in Severna Park.
Creative Cuisine - This is a monthly dinner group where couples take turns hosting dinner parties in their home for 8-10 people. Hostesses plan the menu and distribute the recipes to the couples attending and dinners are usually the second or third Saturday of the month. Twice a year, everyone gets together for a Kick Off & End of Year party.
Kid's Crafts - Join moms and kids as the kids create crafts designed for pre-schoolers. Crafts are scheduled monthly and a nominal fee is typically charged to cover costs.
