House Party for planned parenthood

School Woods is hosting a benefit house party for:

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin
Thursday, April 14th, 5:00 – 7:30 p.m.

Planned Parenthood is celebrating its 75th anniversary with 75 – or more! – parties in Wisconsin. And we’re one of them.

Come for a special showing of a video on Planned Parenthood’s history, and  enjoy the company of your friends and light refreshments.

We’ll take donations at the door, but Planned Parenthood is calling this a “friendraiser” not a fundraiser – we simply want to bring friends together to celebrate Planned Parenthood!

RSVP – You can sign in below, or email (ds83473@gmail.com) your host to let her know how many will attend.

Please use the contact information you’d like Planned Parenthood to use.

There’ll also be sign-in in sheets at the party.
