Why?
In the words of our members…
“Before I joined RFC I didn’t know of many fun things to do in Racine with my daughter. Now not only do we know of a lot of great places that are kid friendly but we have wonderful new friends too. I really look forward to watching our kids grow up together.”
- Amy B.
“We moved to Racine when Lily was just 6 wks old. Being a new mom in a new place and knowing no one was difficult. RFC was a wonderful discovery, providing support for all my crazy new mom concerns, connecting me with new friends, and helping me feel at home. What an awesome group to have in the neighborhood.”
- Katy U.
“We were new to Wisconsin, and I was going out of my mind trying to meet new friends. I think the other moms at library storytimes were starting to think I was crazy, the way I kept trying to give away my phone number! By the time RFC was first getting off the ground, I was feeling a little pessimistic about whether we’d ever find a circle of really close friends, but I decided to throw myself in headlong one last time. My boys have made so many good friends in this group - and, surprise! So have I! Joining RFC has really been the pivotal decision I’ve made in helping Wisconsin to stop being ‘that strange place to which I moved’ and start being ‘home.’”
- Carrie R.
“RFC has been a helpful organization for my family since we relocated to the area a year ago. Not only does the club have plenty for my always-on-the-go 3 year old, but I love the exchange of parenting information, speakers, and common-interest sub-clubs. It’s been a great way to explore our new town with others, and I love that we also give back to the area through our Community Outreach Program. Thanks RFC!”
- Susan K.
“We joined the Racine Family Club nearly a year ago and are so happy we did. We’ve met some really wonderful people and feel that we have made some great and lasting friendships. Thanks to Amanda and everyone else who began this club…Racine really needed this! It took a lot of courage, patience, and time to start something this huge, and they can be proud of how they have changed many lives in Racine. This club has so much to offer and is such a great resource for families. The mission statement says, “Give what you can and take what you need”. Everyone in our family has enjoyed the club (dads’ basketball, moms’ night out, playgroup, special events). Thank you!”
