You will need to fill out the short form on the right side of the page and you membership will be 'approved' within 24 hours. Once you are approved, you will receive an email welcoming you to the club and will now have access to the calendar and all other MeetUp functions. There is a 30 day trial period. If after this period you feel like the club is a fit, you will need to pay a $10.00 membership fee. 

About MeetUp

MeetUp is an online calendar and group hosting website and was started in 2001. Most people use it as a way to find people with similar interests in their neck of the woods all over the world. APMC will be using MeetUp as an online calendar and scheduler. All of our playgroups, playgroup leaders and infrastucture support is done by volunteer moms. Out of respect for our member's time and to better meet the needs of our general membership, we are asking everyone to join MeetUp for a trial run of three months, to see if we can save time and achieve our goals of more playgroups and better communication.

What you need to know:

• All events are scheduled on MeetUp and if you are attending, you will need to RSVP through MeetUp
• Our MeetUp group is set to 'private'. Nobody else, except for club members and potential new members are allowed to view our site on MeetUp.
• You will need to create a profile using your first name and last initial in order to gain access to the calendar. We encourage you to post a photo of yourself or your children so that we know who to look for at events, however it is not required.
• Once you RSVP 'YES' to an event you will receive reminders emailed directly to you from MeetUp. If there are any changes to the event including cancellation, you will be notified with an email as well, through MeetUp.
• You will be able to synch your RSVP'd events to your Outlook, Google, iCal or Yahoo calendar with once click.
