Movie screening: Laboring Under an Illusion: Mass Media Childbirth vs. The Real Thing (A fundraising event for Pacifica Family Maternity Center)

Alameda Community Acupuncture is delighted to be a venue for a fundraising event for the new Pacifica Family Maternity Center.
-------------------------------------------

Pacifica Family Maternity Center is being proposed as a free-standing birth center designed specifically to serve the diverse population of Alameda County. Pacifica will provide midwifery care to women and families who desire a safe, affordable, and individualized alternative to hospital and homebirth.

It will be located in North Oakland less than 1 mile from Alta Bates, and it will be the closest accredited birth center to Alameda that accepts most insurance. They need your help to raise funds to make this birth center a reality! 

Please join us Saturday April 14th 6:30-9pm at Alameda Community Acupuncture for this fundraising event, which include:

• Movie Screening of Laboring Under an Illusion: Mass Media Childbirth vs. The Real Thing. This hilarious and thought-provoking movie respects women's ability to decide for themselves what sort of childbirth experiences they want to aim for.
• Q&A session about the birth center with midwives and Pacifica founders, Cindy Haag and Sonja Cahoon. 
• Silent auctions, which include: a house concert with Bay Area singer/songwriter Megan Slankard, massage with Kristan Trunzo, photography session with Barbara Walker Photography, quality wine, and many other items from local Bay Area businesses.
• Wine and hor dourves.

Come support the creation of this new birth center!
