Holiday Wishes from Multiple Births Canada
As 2007 draws to an end, it is natural to look back upon the year that has in this case gone by so quickly. It always am= azes me what one organization—with incredibly dedicated volunteers, the support of our membership, and the broader support of many stakeholders, = with both limited financial and human resources—can accomplish. It takes more than a vision, mission or strat= egic planning for Multiple Births Canada (MBC) to accomplish what it has over the years. It takes commitment, pass= ion, dedication and most importantly determination to make a difference in the lives of others. It is often said that the most valuable assets of any organization are its people, and in MBC's cas= e, we can truly attest to the importance that volunteers and others with an interest in MBC and what we do make in accomplishing our goals. It is also due to our many financial supporters, donors and corporate sponsors who g= ive so generously to MBC that allows us to offer support and services to those who are at the heart of MBC—the multiple-birth individuals and their families, as well as the MBC Chapters and Volunteers. 2008 promises to be an incredible year for MBC with many, very exciting events and opportunities for us to share our mis= sion and message throughout the multiple-birth community. The first of these w= ill be our celebration of the 4th National Multiple Births Awareness Day in M= ay where MBC will be creating awareness through the promotion of the followi= ng theme: “It is imperat= ive health care professionals working with infertile couples recognize, and f= ully educate them early in the process, that multiple-birth pregnancies can re= sult in increased risk of death and disability for multiple-birth babies, more complications for the mother during pregnancy, and longer-term consequenc= es for the welfare of multiple-birth families.” The second = will be the 2008 Conference and Annual General Meeting to be held October 16-1= 9th in Markham, Ontario with three streams of workshops targeted to the multiple-birth individual or family with multiple-births, the chapter or volunteer working with multiple-births, and lastly a professional compone= nt designed to educate those working in support of multiple-births in a professional capacity. The third important event will be held as part of = that very same Conference when MBC will celebrate 30 years as the only national organization supporting multiple-births in Canada. We hope that you will = join us in celebrating our many successes over the last 30 years, and will sha= re in making the next 30 years all that more special for individuals and families in Canada. As you can see, it is going to be one very bu= sy year! We look forward to working with you, and for you, to make it a year that we will not forget! Our very best wishes for a safe and happy hol= iday and a joyous New Year! Kim Kimberley Weatherall, C= hairperson, Multiple Births Ca= nada = On behalf of the MBC Board of Directors<= /o:p>
