Starting her family later in life, Newtown Square resident Joanne Torrillo knew she would appreciate the support of other at-home mothers. The MOMS Club provided the encouragement she needed.

The MOMS Club (Moms Offering Moms Support) was founded in 1983 by a California woman who discovered there were no groups that met during the day and allowed her to attend with her baby and preschooler. The organization currently has more than 1,500 chapters and 75,000 members in the United States, including 100-plus clubs in Pennsylvania. The Newtown Square chapter was co-founded by former Havertown members Mrs. Torrillo and Beth Gowie, and clubs are also active in the Garnet Valley, Havertown-East, Havertown-West and Rose Tree/Media areas.

This is happening in Delaware County, Pa. I guess it's a sign that things might be getting better.
