There are a few rules we ask that you follow. These rules were created to help keep the community an informative, fun and enjoyable environment. Our group is membership driven, which means that group members take on responsibilities in ways that have a positive contribution to the group. Any requests for changes should be brought to the attention of the Leadership Team for review.

 

1. Membership Fees.

Membership fees will be due by January 31 of each year. Membership runs January 1- December 31. If your membership fee is not received by Jan 31st you will be temporarily removed until you make your payment.

​

2. Courtesy Guidelines.

As parents, it is essential to support other parents and show respect to all members. This includes being courteous and volunteering and offering help when needed. If a disagreement or misunderstanding occurs between parents, it should be settled privately between the two members in a positive/supportive manner without involving other members of the group. Aggressive, violent or disruptive verbal or physical behavior of any kind will not be tolerated (including gossip, inappropriate e-mails, harassment, profanity, yelling, negative criticism, vandalism, inappropriate touching, assault or threatening behavior, obscene gestures). Cyber bullying is not just a “teen thing” – it is very real for every age group and will not be tolerated. Rockin’ Mommas, its administrators reserve the right to remove or edit any posts at their sole discretion. Any posts that are contributing to a negative and threatening atmosphere on the board will be removed and may result in a warning, suspension or termination of your posting rights and/or membership in the community. Breaking any of the above rules may result in deleted posts or the suspension of your posting/membership rights. If you would like to report an issue, please contact your Leadership Team via email at rockinmommasracine@gmail.com with “Report an Issue” in the subject line

 

3. No Soliciting.

There are some incredibly talented Mommas in our community with great ideas, but our board is here for members to share ideas and hold discussions without feeling like they are being bombarded by promotions and solicitations. This applies to all sorts of businesses - photographers, graphic designers, Etsy shops, etc. This also applies to fund raisers. If there is an upcoming, in person event, whether it be for a business or fund raiser, you are allowed to post 1 time about it. If its an online fundraiser (GoFundMe), business, or online party, you are not allowed to post for it. We will only allow in-person parties/events to be posted at a maximum of 1 post for any business or fundraising purpose.

 

4. Removal from the Group

We want to keep the group a positive place for all members to attend and participate in; therefore, we reserve the right to remove members from the group who are seen as not acting in the best interest of the group or who display inappropriate behavior. The process for removal is as follows: Any Member or Member’s child whose behavior is contrary to these guidelines shall face the following consequences: 1st offense – Discussion with Leadership Team, Written Warning 2nd offense – Membership revoked upon unanimous vote from the Leadership team. Voluntary Removal- You are welcome to leave the group at any time, for any reason. There will not be any refunds given. If you wish to return to the group, readmission will be at the sole discretion of the Leadership Team.

 

5. Privacy.

Please respect the privacy of our members. Our membership roster is for club purposes and members only. Please do not use the roster or e-mail list for solicitation or any other purpose without prior Leadership approval. All posts in RM should be kept confidential and within the group. This means no screenshots. Screenshots of anything posted in RM is strictly prohibited. Any member with a shared account will not be allowed access to Rockin’ Mommas and membership will be denied. Only single user accounts with the member’s name are allowed. (IE: No joint husband/wife accounts titled “MaryandJoe Smith”) Also, only legit Facebook profiles with information and pictures for verification purposes, will be accepted in Rockin’ Mommas.

 

6. Refunds

Membership fees, event down-payments and pre-payments are non-refundable.

​

7. Funds

Please remember that this group does not profit from any submitted membership fees. We use every bit of money from memberships in order to facilitate activities planned for the group as a whole. Your leadership team is donating their time because they think Rockin' Mommas is a worthwhile endeavor.  Please understand that our time is valuable too. Events are planned but may be canceled due to low attendance or emergencies. We try very hard to dedicate our time to plan events and participation is crucial to making this group a success outside of or Facebook presence. Please know that all members are welcome to plan any event of their choosing in the group as well so long as it doesn't conflict with a planned Mom NIght Out or large family event. 

​

8. Leadership

Any Leadership team member must not have any Rockin' Momma member blocked on Facebook. Facebook is the platform we use to plan and invite people to events. All paying members of the group should be able to be invited and see all the events. Not everyone is friends-that is unreasonable, however, all events must be accessible to all members of the group- despite who planned them. 

​

By being in this group and paying for your membership fees, you agree to these terms of service.
