“I loved when Chappaqua Moms first started on Facebook. What a great way to help bring our community together.”
Just the fact that it is called Chappaqua Moms makes it NOT a way to bring a community together. Unless a man feels pretty darn strongly about something, they won’t post. If we didn’t want so many splinter groups, we shouldn’t be so specific about allowing “Moms (and some Dads)”.
Many of the other splinter groups also have “Chappaqua Moms” in the title. I would call that pretty self-segregating about who’s ideas and opinions are most valued.
In addition, a lot of the splinter groups are on topics that may not be of interest to everyone.

Also, Chappaqua Moms Sales won’t allow men to join at all, out of the fear that some women have about selling items to men. While it is understandable somewhat, it is still a sad state of affairs.
