April 5-7th is A Woman's Affair. 

We will be hosting a booth again to get the word out about the coalition and let families know what breastfeeding supports are available in our community.  We are currently looking for volunteers to staff the booth and door prizes.  The door prizes were a huge hit last year!

Door prizes can be dropped off at Fairbanks Public Health Center or to Jessica at RCPC WIC.
