Registration will close at 8pm TONIGHT

Registration for the Inaugural MIA Conference will close at 8pm tonight. We currently have less than 50 spots available.Good morning! We wanted to highlight a few things to help make tomorrow run as smoothly as possible:

• Check-in starts at 1:30pm at the Lodge Des Peres. Please be patient as you check-in as we're expecting a big turn out.
• If you are participating in the sock exchange, you will drop them in a basket at check-in. Later during the conference, you will receive a pair for you to take home and wear during treatments.
• A few things to be sure to bring: a jacket, pen, notepad, snacks. We will be offering McAllister's tea, lemonade and cookies courtesy of the Apothecary Shop throughout the conference but feel free to bring any other snacks you would like.
• We will be announcing smaller giveaways throughout the conference with the free IVF and $400 medicine gift certificate (separate giveaways) at the very end. For ALL giveaways, you MUST be present to win and it must be the name called i.e. if husband wins, husband must claim it.
• We will be doing a Q&A session at some point during the conference. If you have any questions that you'd like to ask, please email them to. The more questions we have ahead of time, the more likely we can get through more and get them all answered.

We are very excited about tomorrow and hope you are too. We hope you leave with new information as well as a community of friends going through the same thing as you. Please be sure to try and say hello to Megan, Mistie and Alyssa because we'd love to meet all of you.

        

See you tomorrow!

We Need Your Help!

Megan, Mistie and I are working hard on lining up speakers, sponsors, caterers, donations and all that fun stuff that goes into putting on a conference. We're all busy marking items off our to-do lists and bouncing ideas off each other to make the Inaugural MIA Conference one to remember.

We've gotten lots of positive response when we've contacted authors, businesses, doctors and vendors about donating their books, time, knowledge and skills to the cause. Now we're asking YOU for YOUR help! How?

Well, if you haven't already, click here and go register! This is going to be an event you do not want to miss. Also, if you have an idea of something we should do at the conference or someone we should contact for a donation or sponsorship, leave us a comment or email us at MidwestIF at gmail dot com

Okay, now I've got to get back to work on the conference. It's a lot of hard work but well worth it!
