November Meeting: Birth Story Catch-up and Toy Trade

NOVEMBER MEETING: BIRTH STORY CATCH-UP, AND TOY TRADE

Wednesday, November 19th from 7:00 to 8:30pm
Athens library
For our last meeting of 2008, we will catch up on Birth Stories (which we haven't shared since July!), and have a holiday toy trade. Bring a toy that your child has grown out of, and exchange it for something new to your family. If there's time left over we'll share tips on "Surviving the Holidays."



SCRAPBOOK FOR BRANDI

There is still time to make a scrapbook page for Brandi, to let her know what she has meant to you and your family. I will bring blank pages and supplies to the November meeting, so all you need are some pics of your family, a birth story, some words of thanks! Or, if you prefer to make one on your own time, just email me and we'll arrange a pick-up.



COOKBOOK 

We still need submissions for the Birth Circle recipe book. Please send your inquiries or submissions to Timi at timisingley@yahoo.com.



MEALS FOR MOMS 

Our Meals for Moms program is also looking for volunteers and participants to receive meals. Contact Hanna Vorisek at hannavorisek@yahoo.com.

ONLINE FORUM
The Birth Circle is now offering an online discussion forum so the conversations and birth stories can continue after our meetings! If you would like to subscribe to this forum simply send an email to: AthensBC-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. If you have any problems with the subscription contact Tamara at tamaravk@gmail.com.
