What a
wonderful time we all had at the Charis “Labor Support” Workshop on
Tuesday, July 12!!! The midwives, childbirth educators, doulas, and
students who attended all came away from the event with a better
understanding of the physiology of pain and non-pharmacologic pain
relief, with new ideas and tools we can use as we serve laboring
women, and greater working knowledge of labor support techniques. It
is always refreshing to spend time with the Charis ladies! I can’t
wait to hear about how the attendees use their new rebozos they
received at the workshop!
You can look forward to lots of
pictures and testimonies in next month’s newsletter.
The next Charis workshop will be in the late winter and the details
will be posted in future newsletters and at

Update
Charis Membership
We at Charis are extremely grateful for our wonderful members. This
past year, your dues have made it financially possible for us to
creatively correspond with people in areas of the world where
internet is spotty at best. Having all forms of communication
available for us is essential if we are going to successfully train
birth professionals in the far reaches of the earth. As our
community of members grows, there will be more funds available for
even more world-impacting outreach. Thank you!
Several people have contacted us recently asking about when their
membership dues should be paid. Membership is due every December 31
for the coming calendar year. So, if you became a member on or
before December 31, 2009, your dues should be mailed by the middle
of December, 2010, to be sure it is received in time. If you became
a member sometime in 2010, then your membership is not due until
December 31, 2011.
You can send your
membership form and $30 dues to:
Charis Childbirth
P.O. Box 6900
North Port, FL 34290

It's
been over a year since Charis headquarters moved to
Florida. If you use our old Virginia Beach address, your mail will
not reach us as the post office is no longer forwarding mail.
Be sure to mail your yearly membership fees to the Florida address!
