Our
Director's Heart
Dear
Charis Family,
The Schuchmann family is embarking on a new adventure! In the
midst of all the other adventures of which we find ourselves a part,
we have decided to start growing our own food and herbs. We
planted our Moringa trees earlier this year and they are doing
fabulously. Now, we are in the planning stage of raised bed
gardening in our relatively small yard. Since I am not an
experienced gardener, I have joined a group on Facebook called
“Gardening Midwives” in hopes that I will receive education and
inspiration from others. SUCCESS! Midwife Carol Gautschi
recently posted a movie made by her husband, Paul, that has inspired
me tremendously. “Back to Eden” is a movie about Paul’s incredibly
simple gardening techniques that have yielded amazing results.
These are techniques that could be employed anywhere in the world.
Since he began gardening this way, he no longer needs to till the
ground, irrigate, fertilize, or spend lots of time weeding or
dealing with pests. If you have a garden or flowerbeds, you
will LOVE hearing what Paul shares in his movie! It is not a
short video, but a movie; so pour yourself a cup of tea, get
comfortable, and ENJOY!

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
Our address
Charis Childbirth, Inc.
P.O. Box 6900

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!
