In February, the Emma Goldman Clinic day at Fired Up is on February 18, 2005.

Fired Up Iowa City, inc., has been a long-term supporter of Emma Goldman Clinic’s free quarterly newsletter, Emma’s Journal.  “We support Emma Goldman Clinic because reproductive health care services, including abortion services, is a human rights issue,” stated Nancy Westvig, one of Fired Up’s co-owners.  “We also think it is good for our business to be associated with such a long-term and respected non-profit organization as Emma Goldman Clinic.”

 “This is a fun way for a business to support Emma Goldman Clinic,” said Karen Kubby, Executive Director of the Clinic.  “We think it’s a win, win situation for both Fired Up and for the Clinic.  We will encourage our clients and supporters to go to Fired Up on the third Friday of each month as a way of supporting both a local non-profit health care provider and a local business.”

Fired Up Iowa City, inc.’s winter hours are Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 6pm, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from noon to 8pm.  They are closed on Sunday and Monday.  For more information, call Fired Up Iowa City, inc. at (319) 339-0679.
