Upcoming MNFL Conference(s)


MICHIGAN NURSES FOR LIFE  25TH  ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Michigan Nurses for Life Poster

Members of Michigan Nurses for Life met on August 9th at Cross of Christ Lutheran Church in Bloomfield Hills to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Mary Lou briefly reviewed details of MNFL’s history, conferences, former presidents etc.

Diane, our current president, shared about how times have changed, as far as conferences, contact hours, technology etc. The group discussed having future conferences through zoom or another means. In order to grow, we must be adaptable and willing to change. There is a need to recruit, mentor and encourage young nurses in the field. We recently gave a complimentary membership to the granddaughter of one of our founding members; this makes 3 generations of prolife nurses!

We discussed what to do with our bank account funds; one of our past MNFL members, Pat Leal, generously included MNFL in her will. Ideas that were shared included: helping student nurses financially, setting up social media platforms and helping other prolife groups.

Who knows what the future holds? We are grateful to God for guiding and blessing our organization up to this point. May He direct us into the future!

The group took pictures and enjoyed some delicious refreshments.

Co-Founder and Past President of MNFL
