After 66 years of donating to charities, helping individuals and organizations in the Richmond community and building a strong bond of friendship among their members and children, The Mothers Club has disbanded.
The group, which started with 10 women who were friends and young mothers, began meeting monthly in 1954 to share their experiences and tips as new mothers. The meetings evolved into doing more than discussing their children. They branched out to do things to help the community.
Their spirit to do more outside of their friendship circle had a clear motto â âBringing joy to the lives of those we touchâ â that guided them throughout their six decades as they helped area families in need, senior centers and children and families facing medical issues and other nonprofit organizations.
