Happy Mothers Day Central Oregon Mamas

Happy Mother's Day,
First of all, take a moment to look in the mirror and recognize one of the most amazing humans on the planet. You have given your all, over and over again. On Sunday, our day of recognition, it matters most of all that YOU recognize the gift you are to this world.

In 1870 Julia Ward Howe wrote a Mother's Day Proclamation that called for a day when the world would honor what mothers hold most dear: the lives of our children, of all children. In honor of the world's children, take action and ask President Obama to designate a US Children's Ambassador to oversee and prioritize funding for programs that serve children internationally. Add your voice, sign the pledge.Watch the new MAU video about why mothers are stepping into leadership roles to protect the world's children, and then forward this email to your friends and family.
