RALLY for MIDWIFERY

AFOM Rally -- Oct. 19 from 10:00a to 2:00p

Sportsman's Lake in Cullman. No admission charge. Come show your support for the practice of midwifery in Alabama. Planned events are:
 

   There will also be t-shirts for sale (2 new designs), along with bumper stickers, buttons and auto window decals. Fun stuff for the kiddos includes a great playground, a walking trail, a wildflower garden, and a pond where you can feed the fish and ducks. For a small fee, they offer mini-golf, carousel rides, train rides around the lake, and paddle boats.

   Volunteers are needed (of course)! Please volunteer your time or donations in at least one of the following areas:

• donations of bake sale items for fund raising
• donations for silent auction for fund raising
• pouring and keeping up drinks
• wrapping hot dogs and hamburgers
• handing out chips
• dipping nachos
• manning the table of bake sale items
• auction coordinators
• making cotton candy
• making the cotton candy cones
• manning the t-shirt, decal, information pamphlets and logo button table, sign-in area and name stickers.

   Keep in mind that this is going to be our biggest, most informative gathering yet. Make sure you don't miss it! There is still a great need to raise money for legal expenses, spreading public awareness and education. Get involved and help make a difference in Alabama. Donate something to sell or contact a local merchant and ask for a donation. Volunteer to help out with the sales and serving. Invite others to attend--even if you don't think they'll come, let them know that a large statewide group is actively supporting midwifery in Alabama. Remember these efforts in your prayers.
