Volunteers Needed: International Midwives Day Celebration!

Hi everyone!
We are starting to plan our statewide International Midwives Day
Celebration in Columbus and we need volunteers to help with the planning
and logistics of what will be a large event--as Stephanie described in a
recent e-mail, the "mother of all rallies." This year's celebration
will be held on Tuesday, May 5.
Just like last year, we will be holding a Lobby Day in conjunction with
IMD, but this year we are expanding our presence at the Statehouse to
include a family-friendly celebration on the South lawn of the
Statehouse that will include activities for kids, inspiration, and the
experience of shared community with other homebirth families and
supporters for moms and dads and everyone else who supports our cause in
Ohio!
We will need lots of folks in Columbus and the Central Ohio area to help
with this, of course, but we also need the ideas and creative energies
of folks from around the state, too.
If you have ideas about what you think would make a fun and meaningful
day at Ohio's state Capitol for families and others who support
midwifery care, and/or if you want to help with an exciting event that
will further the cause of midwifery legislation in Ohio,
please e-mail me at kathleen@skestos.com . I look forward to
hearing from you!
