Babywearing International of Knoxville is Celebrating our First Birthday!
Come Celebrate our anniversary with a special Open House to be held on Saturday March 21st, 2015 from 1-3pm.
The event will be held at Remedy Coffee House in the quaint Old City. Remedy Coffee House has not only a beautiful and spacious back room, but an amazing Tree house Room for the kids to play in!
Let's do a little chapter review from our last year.
- Chapter was founded by Sarah Murray, Carrie Plemons, Mary Rodio, Ashley Teller and Jenny Arden.
- Since we have added Anna Hurley, Nikki Moore, and Brittany Ridley to our Board of Directors.
- Two babies have been born to the leadership team.
- We have over 1,000 members in our Facebook Group!
- We are rounding the curve to 100 paying members!
- There was one really awesome Group Warming Party last April.
- We had close to a dozen special events for International Babywearing Week!
- We've given out many prizes including several carriers!
- Currently we are hosting two educational meetings a month and one Mom's Night Out.
- Our Lending Library has close to 50 items available for check out!
To celebrate our special day we will have a lot of fun things going on.
All current members that renew at this event will save $10 off their $30 membership price! Come out to take advantage of great savings!
One of our lovely VBE's, Carrie Plemons has put her face on the line for us! $50 raised will give some lucky person the opportunity to throw a pie right in her face! The biggest amount donated to that cause will get to toss the pie!
She looks pretty scared! Can you do it!?
