Fall 2011 Updates

Remember, please, join us on our Facebook page for updates and links to local events, or visit the Plymouth/South Shore Chapter of Holistic Moms Network for current meetings.

I'm not finding as much time since becoming leader for our local HMN Chapter for additional responsibilities but I hope to add occasional outreach events like our Collaborative tables at the Farmers Market and other events soon. Please let me know if you'd like to help (our HMN Chapter has Leader position openings and other positions available).
I'm also hoping to get a list of all the great natural parenting groups and resources listed online... you can check out our flyer listing from earlier this summer here to see a few of the groups I have collected (please email suggestions, corrections, etc.): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42085394/Public.TNCC.HMN/2011.06.HealthyLiving.Hanover.pdf

Please contact me if you have any questions or suggestions (or see us on Facebook!)
