Trunk or Treat




October 16 Meeting

This was a great meeting full of info about women's health! Jessica started off the meeting with her "My Mess" story & shared that she has been convicted to start praying for her husband specifically, not just the family as a whole & the situations that they may be facing.
 
Then Laura Callaway, MSN, CNM, came to speak to us about women's health. She shared about being a Midwife and what a Midwife does ( http://ourmomentoftruth.midwife.org/). She also spoke about our general health and how important exercise and diet are for women. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women ( http://womenshealthresources.nlm.nih.gov/ )! We also got the new guidelines for pap smears and mammograms (www.cdc.gov/cancer/cervical/basic_info/screening.htm, http://ww5.komen.org/breastcancer/breastselfexam.html).
After Laura gave us all that great info we go with our tables to plan for Trunk or Treat on the 30th! We are so excited to see what everyone comes up with!!

Fall Crafts & Tatas

What a fun meeting today!  Fall is in the air y'all and I am loving it!  Thanks to everyone who came out today and who wore pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness!

At the meeting, Alecia spoke about one of her recent "messy" days, about how our perspective and attitude can be our own worst enemy, and how God's goodness and grace will always win out if we are open to Him leading us through our day.


Juanita planned an awesome craft for us, and even though she couldn't be with us (feel better soon!!) everyone had a great time creating a cozy candle hurricane.  They all turned out so cute and (along with so many pumpkin goodies on the breakfast table) really helped welcome in the harvest season.



Judy Mason, owner of Color Me Pink, a boutique here in WR, came and spoke with us on breast health and daily care, and about the sizing and wearing of bras.  She was so friendly and humorous, and was great at answering all of our questions about "the girls".  I'm pretty sure we all looked down our shirts at some point to see if our bras were fitting well. 

 
 
Our play date is coming up on October 19th at the Twin Oaks pumpkin patch in Forsyth.  An Evite with details will be mailed out soon.  Also, don't forget to be talking with your tables about our upcoming Truck-or-Treat on October 30th.  And, remember to let us know if you are coming to our MNO on November 1st (a Truth Be Told party!).
