Sisters for Social Justice Presents: Back Up Your Birth Control
March 30 2:30 T 5200
"The Back Up Your Birth Control campaign is celebrating its 10thanniversary! Back Up Your Birth Control is a national campaign committed to raising awareness of and expanding access to emergency contraception (EC).
While significant progress has been made to expand access, there’s still work to be done. You can help spread the word about EC by taking part in the National Day of Action on Wednesday, March 30, 2011."
At our program on March 30th, an educator from Family Tree Clinic will discuss different forms of birth control, how they work, where you can access affordable/free birth control and exams, as well as talking about emergency contraception. There will be goodie bags provided by the clinic with clinic info, along with various visual aids to explain how different methods of birth control/safe sex methods work.
During Spring Break next week, both Josephine's Café and Plaza Dining will be closed.
As a thanks to the MCTC community, Sodexo will be providing free coffee from 7:30 a.m. - noon each day in the plaza servery. Both light and dark roast Aspretto will be available to keep us moving and sharp during the break.
For weekly menus, catering guides and Dining Services updates, please visit our Dining Services website at www.mctcdining.com.
