New Ways to Connect in Our Community 
There are still seats available at this weekend's August 6 Choice Mom networking event in Seattle. Join us! (register here)
I am starting to work out dates for a Los Angeles event, perhaps November 5. And will be in Orlando the weekend of October 16 for the annual ASRM convention of reproductive medicine professionals. Our regional coordinators are planning fall get-togethers in Chicago, Austin and Atlanta. Let me know if events in these cities interest you and I'll keep you informed.
We were unable to get the right space to accommodate all the interested women in Vancouver, so that will become a more formal event planned for 2012.
I'm very excited about the new e-guides in development for the Choice Mom community, particularly our regional guides for several key cities, and a special Choice Mom E-Guide to Fertility Loss, a heart-breaking stage too many of us have had to go through alone.
And since so many of you have been interested in talking with me by phone on your individual journeys, I've added an option to the ChoiceMoms.org website to schedule a consultation.
Our growing Ning network has several robust conversations with Choice Moms in particular cities, for ease of private communication at a local level; you can apply here for membership.

Say thanks to our sponsors
I'm very thankful to the sponsors who value our mutual goal of providing high-quality information specific to the Choice Mom audience. Please let them know how grateful you are for their financial support. You can help keep these free resources coming by going to the Sponsors page and clicking the link to their website to let them know you've noticed. And let's spread the word about these resources, by sending the link to this newsletter to women you know (and family and friends who might want to learn more about your journey). There are a lot of women who don't yet know these resources exist.
