to be cancelled.

 

CLASSES 4,5, & 6

ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL CLIENTS.
These meetings are informal. And though

they are assigned a class number and topic;

we move through the information at the pace

that best suits the needs of those expectant

parents attending them. So we may cover

more information and move into the next topic

or may even have to continue that month's

topic the next month for completion.
My desire is to meet the needs of the parents.
 

CLIENTS MUST R.S.V.P. I might be at a birth

and I will notify clients personally if they

have R.S.V.P.'d.

Clients are invited to bring a dish to share

at snack time.
