On February 12: WALK IN MY SHOES: A HEALTH ACCESS SIMULATION TM The Experience of Low-Income Health Care Consumers.

This is an experiential workshop designed to give people a concrete idea of what many people experience when they seek medical assistance and don't have health care. The Women’s Table is eager to sponsor this workshop in order:

• to raise awareness of everyday barriers that women & families face when they are uninsured
• to enlist volunteers to 'walk with,' advocate, and companion women and families in need.

This is open to the public but you need to register by February 8. Details are in the link.
There is information about several other opportunities that you can learn about on our website. I'll say more about these in the days ahead but for now I'll just list them:

• The Vows Reflected through the Lens of the Social Teaching of the Catholic Church
• Come to the Sea: A Women's Weekend
• Volunteers in Mission
• Monthly Taize Prayer
