STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD AFS Students Attend Union League Dinner On Mother's Day, May 13, Birthright of McHenry county will sponsor its annual rose sale at local and area churches. "The red rose is a symbol of life," said Tina Goraki, assistant director of Birthright. "For us at Birthright, as for many others, Mother's Day honors will mothers who choose to give life to children and accept the burden, joys and r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s o f motherhood." "Even those women who chose to give up their baby for adoption," she continued, "often have displayed the epitome of true love. It take courage for a mother to give her baby to people who can provide a good home. This woman loves her child more than she does herself." After each Sunday morning service, volunteers will sell long stem or lapel roses for one dollar apiece in front of St. Mary's and St. Patrick's churches in McHenry, St. John the Baptist church in John­ sburg and Christ the King church in Wonder Lake. Birthright hopes to sell 2,000 roses, and believes this will be their largest and most suc­ cessful fund raising event of the year, as it has been in the past. All funds go directly to support the free emergency service for distressed pregnant women offered by Birthright throughout McHenry county. Mrs. Gorski noted that the impact of Birthright seems to be spreading as it becomes better known throughout the community. "With our large increase in calls this past winter, we need more telephone volunteers for the hot-line as well as supporting funds. Also, there is now a desperate need for baby equipment, par­ ticularly 6-year cribs." "But," Mrs. Gorski added, "donations of any heavy baby equipment, such as high chairs, car seats, and so on, or even jars of baby food would be deeply appreciated. She explained that clothes and toys are collected for older children, too. "Many of our needy clients have an older child, and we see these women not only as individuals but as part of a family unit. A gift to the brother or sister of a newborn shows him he hasn't been forgotten or replaced." Another area of growth for Birthright has been in the in­ creasing number of speakers' bureau engagements. "This May we already have several appointments scheduled throughout the county," Mrs. Gorski said. In July the McHenry chapter plans to send three or four volunteers to the international convention of Birthright in Toronto, Canada. "At these yearly conventions," said Mrs. Gorski, "we renew our vitality and strength by sharing ex­ periences and knowledge with members from Birthright's 400 other chapters." "We'd like to acknowledge that many help Birthright, with time, skill, equipment and money. for further information, call Birthright at 385-2999.
