On March 18, 2003, EveryMothe's Day held an Open House in Sherborn, MA. Members of the group spoke about the origins and mission of our project and we all had the pleasure of listening to speakers from two of our recommended humanitarian organizations: the New England Director of the Irternational Rescue Committee and a midwife who represented Doctors Without Borders.

From US. Congressman Barney Frank
May 2, 2002"I am very pleased to have a chance to express my strong support for the concept of EveryMother's Day. I can think of no better way to celebrate the values of motherhood to which we all pay homage than to use this day to help people who are in desperate need through no fault of their own. The mothers who have brought us this concept are giving all of us a great gift on Mother's Day — an appeal to act on the best that is within us".
Barney Frank (D, MA)
