Be there or be square

We are having a "family day" at Books-a-Million at The Legends at Village West on Thursday, November 6th from 10 a.m. -11 a.m. to kick off Prematurity Awareness Month. We will have face painting, crafts, stories - it is sure to be a fun time! Please join us if possible, it will be great to see anyone who can make it. The administration at The Legends has expressed that they don't often have much turn out at these events - let's show them how March of Dimes families can band together! Please come if you can and invite your friends and family if they are around. If you are working but Grandma and Grandpa want to bring the kids, that's great. If you're not able to come by your neighbor or friend might think it is fun, that's great, too, please let them know about it! Radio Disney will also be there! Please RSVP to Kara if you are planning on coming so we can have enough craft supplies for the kids.

For the month of November, The Legends will also be displaying March of Dimes prematurity public service announcements on several of their kiosks throughout the complex. If you're out and about, drop by and do your shopping at The Legends and see the cool PSAs!

Save the dates!

As you may or may not know, November is Prematurity Awareness Month and we have a lot of exciting events coming up!

I will post more details as they become available but please mark your calendars for Thursday, November 6th from 10-11 a.m. for an event at The Legends at Village West. This will be a fun, kid-friendly event with entertainment and crafts - look for details to come.

Also - Prematurity Awareness Day is Wednesday, November 12th. We are planning an event at Children's Mercy Hospital where we will announce the national prematurity report card and launch phase 2 of the prematurity campaign. There will be several organizations represented who are working to lower the rate of premature birth in our community and we are hoping it will receive much media coverage. Please plan on attending if possible, details to follow.

Thank you all so much for your continued support. Please, as always, let me know if there is anything I can do for you!
