Beginning in the 1850s, Ann Reeves Jarvis of West Virginia started Mothers’ Day Work Clubs in order to teach women proper child-care techniques and sanitation methods. In the years following the Civil War, these same clubs became a unifying force for a country ripped apart by conflict.

I don’t know if you have seen any of my writings about eliminating our EMT’s in favor of hiring 2 more firemen—high pay, benefits, will they drive the EMT’s truck or will you have to buy something new for them? etc. etc.)I just wrote a new one in Facebook, but I, and many others, can’t see why you would want to take away our wonderful EMT’s—Bill and I have had MUCH experience with them the last few years—for more firemen.
