GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!
What a month this has been and here we are nearing the end of January so soon! Tomorrow we hope you will join us for our regular monthly meeting at the Athens Public Library where a panel of experts will be joining us to share their breastfeeding knowledge and answer your questions. This is a great opportunity to meet our local breastfeeding gurus and share your own challenges and successes. We hope to see you there!
Don’t forget to take The Birth Circle’s short Impact Survey to share your thoughts on how we’ve been doing and how we can grow to serve our community better. We are here for you and would love to hear from you, so follow the link below to let us know how what we’re doing right and how we can improve. Thank you!
Warmly,
