The morning shower included delicious food such as chilaquiles and huevos. In addition, each expectant mother was given a bag to be filled with items from the tables full of donated blankets and clothing for their newborn. Our own Susan Dean had hand knitted many of the blankets that were being donated. The other donor that day was the Grace Episcopal Church from St. Helena.
There were games. One of the games played was where I wore a cast shaped like a pregnant belly, and everyone was asked to guess how many squares of toilet paper it would take to go around my belly. Later I was asked to pass out prizes such as car seats, clothing, boxes of diapers, and other newborn items to the winners of each game.
During the shower, I was asked to speak to the audience in Spanish about our Club and extend our best wishes to these families. At the very end of the shower, I got to pass out our Club's diaper bags.
If you missed this opportunity, there will be another opportunity to stuff diaper bags and help at the baby showers. Check www.sfrotary.com for the next opportunity and hope to see you there.
