Howdy Everyone!
We hope you’ll join us for a new take on our Annual Birth Circle Family Reunion Picnic this Wednesday, August 31st at Little Fish Brewing Company. Meet friends old and new, enjoy a tasty beverage, eat delicious food and let the kids play in the lingering summer sunshine. What better way is there to spend the last Wednesday of August?
On the heels of this monthly gathering follow our Play Group and Loss Support Group. These two regular monthly meetings offer two unique chances to connect with other families in safe and supportive environments. Both are free and open to the public. See below for more information.
We look forward to seeing you this week as we round out the last days of August and look forward to the holiday weekend. See you soon!
Warmly,
Claudia Bashaw

In lieu of a regular monthly meeting, each August we gather to celebrate the wonderful community of families old and new with a festive picnic in a kid-friendly location. This year we are reuniting at Little Fish Brewing Company where the kids and parents can eat, drink and be merry while supporting The Birth Circle. The folks at Little Fish will offer a drink special and the proceeds will go to The Birth Circle to support our free programs. We hope that lots of you will join us that evening to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones and celebrate summer. See you there!
