Guide
Hey, FAS activists! Are you too tired, too busy, too late to do FASDAY? Want to participate in the 2nd annual International FAS Awareness Day on September 9, 2000 -- but you’re strapped for resources, time, energy and volunteers?
We’ve just solved your problem! You can host an easy breakfast event, because we have it all planned out for you!
"FAS DAY BREAKFAST VIDEO PREMIERE"
Saturday, September 9, 2000
It's Exciting! It's Effective! It's as Easy as A.B.C.D.E.F.G.
|
You can choose from two excellent videos that will tell you more about FAS: the new 24-minute Canadian video, “Different Directions: Understanding Fetal Alcohol Syndrome,” or, the 17-minute U.S. video,"FAS: Everybody's Baby" distributed by Fasstar Enterprises and John Kellerman, a young man with FAS.
The goal of this informal breakfast premiere is to create a little more awareness in your own community. All of us volunteers throughout the world are building awareness, a little bit at a time. If you manage to make just a handful of people in your own community learn more about FAS, you will impact on some lives in a way you never know. And at the same time, you have the opportunity of making some valuable allies. That’s why our motto is a quote from Canadian-Australian author, Janette Turner Hospital:
“I have read that the oscillation
of butterfly wings in Brazil
may set off storms in
Texas.”
Click on the following pages and print out what you need. Join the flapping butterflies around the world – we really can make big changes.
Oh, yes...everything here is optional. Feel free to adapt as it works best for you and your community. (Even if you’re forced to do it on the 8th!)A. Agenda for FAS Day Breakfast PremiereTable of Contents
