Birth Works Childbirth Educator Workshop

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Birth Works® International is a non-profit organization of childbirth educators and doulas, that embodies the philosophy of developing a woman’s self-confidence, trust, and faith in her ability to give birth. We believe that: Birth is instinctive and that women’s bodies are designed to give birth. The knowledge about how to give birth is born within every woman: women do not need to be taught how to give birth but rather to have more trust and faith in their own bodyknowledge. Integration of the mind, body, and spirit is essential when giving birth.

This experiential and dynamic workshop offers both an academic and emotional preparation for birth and will cover:  • Feelings, Belief Systems, and Philosophies• Pelvic bodywork and labor positions• Birth physiology:  neocortex and hormone behaviors• Components of labor, privacy, pain, and vocalization• Feeling safe to give birth and comfort measures• Human values in birth• VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) and Cesarean decisions• Grieving and healing• Mother/baby skin-to-skin contact and fetal brain wiring• Group dynamics preparation for teaching Birth Works® classes

‘Wrapped with Love’ Turns Film into Funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

Sunday, November 29th, 2009




In keeping with annual tradition, Malco Theatres presents Wrapped with Love for the continued research of childhood diseases atMemphis’ own St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. 

This program, in its twelfth year, kicks off Thanksgiving Day (November 26) and runs through Christmas Day (December 25) at all 31 Malco Theatre locations in Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Mississippi. Theatre employees will be selling the bows for $1.00 each and the bows are hand-made from actual film. Each bow is made of about 24 frames, which is about one second of a movie. The sound for each movie is encoded on the edge of the film and appears green. It’s believed these bows may eventually be collectors’ items if the film industry progresses into digital technology.

As the materials and volunteer production hours for the bows are donated, there is no cost to Malco Theatres; the true beneficiary is St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  In a joint effort for this cause, patients of St. Jude and their families participated in the creation of the bows at the hospital. During the activity, reels of movie trailers were cut, stapled and sealed with a special sticker that reads “Wrapped With Love… To Benefit the Kids of St. Jude.”

Since 1999, Malco Theatres has raised over $375,000 for St. Jude.  Over 65,000 bows were sold during the 2008 Wrapped with Love campaign and this year’s goal is to sell an additional 70,000 of the collectible film décor.

Camera-ready artwork and actual bows are available for media use. Please send a request via email to karen@malco.com. 

Malco Theatres is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee and is fourth-generation family-owned and operated. Malco operates over 300 screens at 31 locations in 5 states across the mid-south.

Ally Courtney is 5 years old and a Kindergarten Student at Centerton Gamble Elementary. On March 6th she went to the ER in Rogers because her tummy hurt. They ran a CT scan and noticed she had a Wilms Tumor (Kidney Cancer.) They sent us straight to Children’s Hospital in Little Rock that night. They arrived at Children’s around 10pm and on Monday March 9th they removed her left Kidney and part of the colon. She stayed in the hospital 8 days and got her first round of Chemo. They were home for 6 days when they had to return to Little Rock due to very high fever. She will have Chemo every week for 10 weeks then every 3 weeks for 6 months. We will have a CT on April 28 to see if she still has cancer on her lungs also. If she does she will have 2 weeks of radiation at Children’s Hospital as well as the Chemo.
