newbornNew time! New location!

Due to popular demand, the time for the Newborn Care class has been changed from Monday the 10th to Sunday, the 9th. Because the class was originally scheduled at this time because the Életkör space we usually use is full on Sunday, we will hold this class in a new location, near Móricz Zsigmond körtér. See below for directions.
