Hi everyone,

Just wanted to pass along this information about a very kid friendly
fundraising event The Midwife Center is doing in a couple of weeks.
Hope to see you there!

We invite you to join us as we celebrate our 25th year of providing
safe, satisfying care that is firmly centered around the needs of
women and their families, especially when it comes to introducing the
newest members of those families into our world.

We will be holding our celebration at The Center for Creative Play,
where our kids can all plan on having fun instead of being dragged to
another boring adult event.
In addition to the opportunity to gather with others who have shared
in the benefits that come with being cared for by a Midwife, you can
also look forward to the following:

· Grown-Ups can sample a variety of gourmet coffees and some other
light fare and refreshments. This will all be provided through Return
to the Earth/LifeFoods, a locally based business group that happens to
be run by the parents of Connor and Logan Smith, who were each
welcomed into the world by the hands of one of our Midwives. As a
special Thank You to our Center, they have also arranged for all
adults who attend this event to be admitted free of charge (provided
that they check in at the front desk).
· Children can play at the Center at a cost of $5 per child (free
for current CCP members).
· All food and drink, including the gourmet coffee, is free.
· Any interested families are encouraged to come and share their
Midwife Center birth stories from the last 25 years.*
· All of LifeFoods' coffee is gourmet quality, it is available in
blends that are organic and Free Trade friendly, and LifeFoods also
offers its trademark Wellness Coffees™, which are blends that are
infused with natural vitamins, minerals, and/or herbal supplements.
Many of their coffees will be available for purchase, and half of all
proceeds will be donated to The Midwife Center. Anyone who orders
LifeFoods coffee to be delivered to their home will receive the
BirthHouse Blend label, which bears our personalized design containing
The Midwife Center logo.
· A print reproduction of The Midwife Center's mural will be
available for viewing, and for $60, our guests can obtain a
reproduction of this beautiful image for themselves.

* Share your birth story with others. Bring your typed story (500
words or less) and any pictures that you would like to share, and you
can assemble your own personal page for TMC's 25th anniversary
scrapbook with your family at the event! Stories and pictures can also
be submitted via mail or email. For more information, go to our
website at: www.midwifecenter.org/events.

To RSVP and for more information, call Ryan Smith of Return to the
