Non Profit Organizations Holds Egg Donor/Surrogacy Event in Popular Beverly Hills Nail Salon

    on Jan 21, 2010

    Need an egg donor? How about a surrogate? Know someone who does? Yes? Then this event is for you. _

    January 21, Los Angeles - The American Fertility Association’s Manicures & Martinis Family Building Program is coming to Bellacures Salon, Tuesday, January 26th.  The program is designed to deliver sensitive and important information about surrogacy and egg donation in a casual, relaxed setting, where participants enjoy complimentary manicures, pedicures, and martinis.  All those interested - gay, straight, male, female - are encouraged to attend.

    A one hour conversation will be lead by Fertility Specialist, Guy Ringler, MD, of California Fertility Partners, and an attorney from Meyers and O’Hara, a law firm specializing in third party reproduction and family formation law.  Participants will get their medical and legal questions answered, which will help them decide whether surrogacy and egg donation are viable options.  The event is generously sponsored by Fertility SOURCE Companies.
