we need your donations!

Hello GA Friends of Midwives,

This is Jennifer Fargár, Chairperson for GFOM and we are planning an even with renowned birth expert, Henci Goer (author of The Thinking Woman’s Guide to a Better Birth, www.hencigoer.com) for Thursday, August 6 in Atlanta. Henci has agreed to split any profits from the Atlanta event with GFOM. I wish we had more notice, but it just didn’t work out that way. But we do have an event planned for September! This is plenty of notice!

At this event, we would like to sell some GA Friends of Midwives STUFF such as t-shirts, bumper stickers, hats, bags, you name it- we are in fundraising mode. How can you help? Yes- YOU!

Please consider purchasing and donating some items for us to sell at our next event. We have many more events planned for the rest of the year and beyond and need money to make them happen- we’re building community to support our legal access to homebirth midwives. So, go to http://shop.cafepress.com/midwives and buy some stuff and donate it to GFOM (if you can add Georgia Friends of Midwives to whatever you have printed, that would be extra cool!!) We can’t all do everything, but we can all do something. I know we are all financially stretched right now, but if everyone bought one t shirt ($22) and/or one onesie ($12.50), you would be making a HUGE contribution to GFOM! A bumper sticker is $5, can you buy 5 of them and donate them to GFOM? A mini button is $2.50!

OR go to http://www.vistaprint.com/personalized-pens.aspx?xnav=LeftItem&xnid=PromotionalGiveaways&dng=1061559 and buy pens that say “Georgia Friends of Midwives” on it and donate them to GFOM! Please contribute something! We need your help to bring our homebirthing community together so every mom who wants one can have legal access to homebirth midwives!

Please let me know what you can contribute ASAP!

Email me if you have any questions at all! I am here to help you help me help our midwives!
Warmest regards,
Jennifer Fargár
