Welcome Laura Schreiner to the leadership team. Laura brings passion and organization to our team by handling our national reporting, chapter financials, and chapter planning. We are excited to have her on the team.
As Laura joins our team, Lisa Rooney will be stepping down from leadership to pursue some of her other holistic passions. She will remain an active part of our community.
Holistic Moms serves as a support community for those interested in holistic living and natural parenting. We appreciate all those who have joined our community and spread the word to help make the Western Suburbs Chapter possible.
With Love & Friendship,

| Next Month's Meeting
Consumerism
November 2, 7 pm
| Do you ever feel elated after making a purchase at the clothing or shoe store?
Have you found yourself to be an impulse buyer - at a garage sale or skimming the chotchkies at the checkout counter - buying something just because it was a "good deal?"
Do you endure or succumb to your kids whining and begging for "THE toy" or even the food they saw on a commercial?
Do you feel like you "have to" spend a certain amount of money on each child for their birthday presents or Christmas?
How do we battle this seemingly endless desire to buy, Buy, BUY?
Join Holistic Moms Network on November 2nd for an open discussion on consumerism.
At November's meeting, we will be collecting food donations for a local food pantry. Please consider giving to those that are less fortunate by bringing some non-perishable food items.
We meet from 7-9 pm at The Health Doctors, 28379 Davis parkway, Warrenville, www.thehealthdocs.com |

|  Member since: August 2007 I'm a Holistic Mom because: It fits my family's lifestyle and beliefs! My holistic passions are: attachment parenting, raw foods, homeschooling/unschooling, listening to my intuition What inspires me about Holistic Moms: Other moms that make me feel normal about being different. Feeling confident that researching our choices (rather than feeling uncomfortable based on what someone else says) leads us to what is best for our family.
