T-POTS HISTORY
In the fall of 1978, Beverly and Robert Mims, the parents of boy-girl infant twins, began searching for other parents of twins in the Tampa area who might want to share their experiences.
In January 1979 the first official meeting of the "Twin Club" was held at St. John's Church on MacDill Avenue, and was attended by the parents of more than a dozen sets of twins and two sets of triplet families.
In that year, word-of-mouth helped the membership grow to include 30 parents of multiples. The primary goal of the group is to help other parents of multiples in any way possible, whether it has to do with the rearing of their small children or assistance with other areas of their lives.
