  • Thanks to all who attended Arborfest 2008! Family Tree Clinic’s annual beer-tasting fundraiser was a big success yet again. We had over 30 craft beer vendors, and over 400 attendees.

  • Check out Ms. Magazine online for an article featuring our very own, recently retired, Peg Labore, former Executive Director at Family Tree. The article, published August 20th, is called “Minnesota to Cut Birth Control Costs in Half.” Peg and others have been lobbying hard for opportunities to get cheaper birth control out to the vast amounts of women who need it.
