It's often said that it takes a village to raise a child, but due to the increasingly fragmented nature of modern society, too many women and families are cut off from the roots from which to draw strength, friendship and support.
Enter the LCM Moms Group, graciously organized by the ever fabulous Jillian. Jillian is a new mom living in Troy, and Michelle was her midwife when her son was born in March. We are interested in starting an inter-generational Moms Group. We'd like to create a space for community building: a place where women can get to know other women, and where kids are welcome (and safe) to run around. We hope that this will be a helpful resource to the wonderful families of the Capital District whom we are honored to serve.

The Necessary Bits:
What: The first meeting of the Local Care Midwifery Moms Group
When: Wednesday, May 4, 2011 -- 10:00am to 12:00pm
Where: St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Guild House,
27 State St, Troy, NY 12180
(Note: Guild House is also called Bethany House and is directly behind St Paul's which
is on the corner of 3rd Street and State)
The Extra Information:
Although childbirth is something that unites all and is the throughline of our gathering, it isn't necessarily the only focus. For instance, the Moms Group seems like a great opportunity to start monthly meal swaps--not to mention perhaps donating meals to moms in the group who give birth throughout the year.
It's my vision that a different woman would lead each meeting with a focus on something she does well and wants to share with us or wants to know more about. Of course, at our first meeting, I'd like to assess what the group of moms as a whole is truly interested in doing and proceeding accordingly.
We hope to see you there!
DON'T FORGET! THE LOCAL CARE MIDWIFERY, PLLC OPEN HOUSE AND SPRING SHOWER IS THIS SUNDAY, MAY 1ST FROM 1-6PM! WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
