Hello everyone in the UCM area:
We've decided on a date for my workshop!
It's Your Body. Period.
A workshop about the impact of menstrual products on your body, your wallet & the environment
Presented by Jamie Schlote as part of an honors thesis project
Wednesday, March 26, 1:00pm
Union 237B
"That time of the month." "Aunt Flo's monthly visit." "Riding the crimson tide." There are so many ways for women (and men) to talk about menstrual cycles without ever actually naming them. Why is this? This interactive session explores some of the taboos and anxieties surrounding menstruation, from the way ancient cultures interpreted it to how it is marketed to young girls today. Jamie compares typical drugstore products used to manage menstruation to lesser-known alternatives and reveals the hidden costs carried by both - to women's health, to women's wallets, and the environment.
So yeah. Mark your calendars; I can't wait to see you.

Cool, I'll definitely try to make it.
About how long do you think it will last?
I'm shooting for about 45 minutes to an hour..
It sounds like it would be good. I wish I could make it. =/
