Cloth Diaper Enthusiasts in the Wenatchee Valley preparing to set Earth Friendly World Record on April 23, 2011
–Amazing Global Response to US initiated Earth Day Celebration
April 6, 2011 – Cloth diapers have come a long way in the past ten years. An event, called the Great Cloth Diaper Change 2011, already creating buzz not only in North America, but all over the world, will take place on Saturday, April 23, 2011 in locations all around the globe including the Wenatchee Valley Mall in East Wenatchee, WA. The Great Cloth Diaper Change (http://www.greatclothdiaperchange.com) will set a world record for the most cloth diapers ever changed simultaneously.
Organizers, Lisa Erie and Megan Andrade are eager to be a part of setting a Guinness World Record and letting the world know that cloth diapering rocks. Heather McNamara, of the Real Diaper Association, says that “our local volunteers are finding growing numbers of parents coming to find out about cloth diapers, whether it be for environmental, financial, or health reasons - - or even because these diapers are just plain cute!” It is the hope of the organizers that this event will be an eye opener and an inspiration for expecting and new parents to use cloth diapers, a more planet friendly alternative that also saves parents substantial money. First 30 people will recieve a earth friendly goodie bag.
- Date and Time is Saturday, April 23 at 9AM Pacific / 12PM Eastern ? which means that on a global level some cloth diaper enthusiasts will gather and do the diaper change in the middle of the night. Luckily, our event will take place in the morning at the Wenatchee Valley Mall, one hour before mall opening.
- Each group/location will have a minimum of 25 participants to count for the record. Each local event will be unique, with many fun family activities for parents, friends and older siblings, leading up to the specific “change” time. You won´t want to miss the local action in the Wenatchee Valley!
- Cloth Diapers for this event are available for purchase at Mommy and Me located in the Wenatchee Valley Mall or by contacting Lisa Erie of Central Washington Cloth Diaper Parties.
- This event is part of a larger (and growing) movement. Participants may contribute $1 (or more) at all North American events to benefit the Real Diaper Association, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to help families across the U.S. and Canada find and use reusable cloth diapers.
