With the bad weather predicted for tomorrow, we have decided to cancel the Mothers and Midwives Picnic and reschedule for sometime later in the summer.
In sunnier news, The Red Avocado in Iowa City is again graciously hosting a benefit night for Friends of Iowa Midwives on Wed. May 28, starting at 5:30. The last event was such a great time - please come out and join us for good food in support of a good cause!
Also, tune in to Iowa Public Radio on Sunday: a four minute radio feature on the midwife movement in Iowa will air on WSUI AM 910 this Sunday, May 11 (Mother's Day), at 7:34 and 9:34 a.m.
