Consider becoming a Member of DiaperFreeBaby!
Exciting things are happening here at DiaperFreeBaby! With all the publicity these past few years, the interest in Elimination Communication and DiaperFreeBaby has increased at an amazing rate. To better serve the growing EC community, our priorities for 2007 and beyond include:- Improved and expanded Mentor support to handle the increased demand for local Group meetings and activity
- Developing outreach and educational materials
- Expanding and reworking the website to make it more helpful
- Starting work on a more active fundraising effort so that we can take advantage of opportunities to get the word out in print or with an exhibitor's booth
Core Services Open to All
The services you already enjoy from DiaperFreeBaby are offered to members and non-members alike. Any interested parent is welcome in the email groups and at the meetings. Most articles on the DiaperFreeBaby website are available to everyone, as is the DiaperFreeBaby Shop. These core services are vital ways in which DiaperFreeBaby pursues its mission.Membership offers additional privileges and benefits
