Bring the fam: Free Starbucks, Italian ice and Dewey’s Pizza!
Even though we’ve only known each other a short time, I can tell that April Kline is one neat lady.
She’s a super-involved mom of two (the kind who belongs to a mother/daughter book club), an excellent hostess (the type who constructs a maypole for the kids to weave during a May Day party), and the wife of a musician (that last one alone should bump her up a few spots in the line at heaven’s gate!).
April is also president and co-founder of the Dar a Luz Network, named for the Spanish phrase for giving birth, “to bring to the light.” The organization offers support and information on pregnancy, birthing and family care topics.
And now, for the point of this blog: Dar a Luz is hosting a Family Fun Afternoon on Saturday, May 30, in downtown Dayton’s c}space, 20 North Jefferson St., from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m.
We’re talking serious fun here, folks. Activities include:
— Family-oriented raffle and auction items including massages, baby slings, gift cards, oil changes, etc.
— Free yoga, courtesy of Yogi Mama Kathi Kizirnis of Practice Yoga in the Oregon District
— Movie screening of “Born in the USA” at 2 p.m.
— Free chair massages
— Henna artist
— Free kids’ art activities provided by SPARK Art Studio
There will also be plenty of delicious treats on hand. The Oakwood Starbucks and Dewey’s will be providing free coffee and pizza. Kline & Associates is providing Rita’s Italian Ice, and Alexandria Montessori School will donate baked goods.
There is no entry fee for the Family Fun Afternoon, but donations to Dar a Luz will be gladly accepted.
The event is being sponsored by birthsource.com and Life Stages — Samaritan Centers for Women.
Dar a Luz Network holds monthly meetings in the Miami Valley. Women of all ages and stages of life are welcome to attend along with their children and partners.
According to their Web site, Dar a Luz believes that every woman deserves the broadest range of evidence-based information and unconditional support in the choices she makes for her pregnancy and birth.
For more information or a schedule of meetings, visit www.daraluznetwork.com or call (937) 241-5954.
And by all means, join April and her friends for an afternoon of fun on May 30th!
