My dear friend, Mary Milota and I hosted the first event for THE CIRCLE last Sunday morning. It was a wonderful way to introduce our organization to friends and family. Thank you to all that made it over to Lake Harriet, in Minneapolis for the brisk morning walk and dedication. Thank you also to my gal pals, Kelly Kirsch, Nicole Meyer & Antoinette Golinghorst for your involvement in THE CIRCLE. And to all - please continue to follow future TC events! We hope meet new people, share stories and continue on with this important issue we've been faced with.
For those that are new to the organization, THE CIRCLE is a local, newly-formed community of women, couples & families affected by pregnancy loss and infertility. TC is supported by these people, along with their friends & family. Our goal is to provide continued support to those affected, to raise awareness on the subject and to offer local resources & personal stories on pregnancy loss and infertility. As THE CIRCLE grows into a non-profit organization, we hope to build our resources and provide more support networks & opportunities for women, couples & families in-need. TC began with a thought a few years ago. I had experienced a number of pregnancy losses and discovered the many others that were also going through a loss or an infertility struggle. As we shared our personal accounts, I felt a need for such an organization and discussed the idea with Mary....and here we are!
We plan to host another great event next spring, when it warms up again! And look for a website for members and visitors of THE CIRCLE to view in the future! We are selling some great TC apparel that has proven popular! Here is what we are currently selling to promote THE CIRCLE:
We also have t-shirts for kids and toddlers (in long & short-sleeve) for $16.00 each. If you are interested in purchasing any of the TC apparel, please contact Cinda at cindapfeil@mac.com to place your order!! If you wish to make a donation to THE CIRCLE, contact Cinda as well for a mailing address. We hope to raise money to continue supporting TC and it's planned resources for the future women, couples and families in-need.
Here are the photos from our first THE CIRCLE event this fall, on October 18th. BIG thanks to Ginny Lippert for capturing it on camera!
