October 2012 marks the 5th anniversary of our first Baby Day class. This groundbreaking event occurred at a large Mennonite farmhouse in Lititz, Pennsylvania. Six teachers (Joan Martin, Ruthie Sensenig, Christa Hunter, Pat Nicolas, Christine Holefelder and myself) taught six students with eight Mennonite babies and moms. There were no teacher salaries, and instead of the typical seminar fee, I asked for donations. Everyone had a great day.Looking back, I feel that we were the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk. I am still very grateful for everyone involved in that effort. For the record I gave Joan $500 to pay the nice Mennonite family for the room and the great vegetarian buffet. I received $300 in teaching donations for the day. It is good to know that you can change the world for $200.
