There’s a lot of Ista’s under the weather this time of year 🤧💛
Let’s cheer them up a little & drop your best (clean 😉) jokes below!

Here are a couple to start us off…

Why in Quebec do they only serve you one egg?
Because one egg is un œuf 😌🥚

Why are there Pop-Tarts but not Mom-Tarts?
Because of the pastry-archy 🤣🤣

Okay, your turn… and go! 👇🏽

🥰Thank You to Our Amazing Board Members, Diane, Karen, Shirelle and Kim! 🥰

As one chapter closes and our 2025-2026 is coming to a close, we want to express our deepest gratitude to our Board of Directors for their support, guidance, knowledge, experience and joyous personalities over the years.

Our board has helped us navigate challenges, celebrate wins, and, most importantly, further the future of midwifery care in Akwesasne. While we are sad to see them go (and hopefully not too far!), we are so grateful for the lasting impact they’ve left behind. You will always be part of our family!

Now, we are looking for the next group of passionate leaders to help shape our community's future!We are calling for nominations/applications for new board members to join us. If you are interested, please submit your resume and a letter/expression of interest to shekon@onkwehonwemidwives.com for review. We're so excited!
