Calling all NOFAS Georgia friends and supporters!
I’m thrilled to invite you to a very special event happening just one week from today that will raise awareness about fetal alcohol syndrome and officially launch Georgia’s first chapter of the National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
On September 9 – International FASD Awareness Day – we will be joining advocates across the globe in a “Pause for Pregnancy” to encourage women to pause – pause and think about the effect of alcohol on pregnancy. Men and women dressed to look like they are pregnant will be “freezing” for nine minutes on the ninth day of the ninth month to draw attention from passersby.
The Pregnant Pause event was conducted in London’s Victoria Station last year with great success. You may want to visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCkpWKHHzts to take a peek.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact me. If you plan to come and participate, please send a quick email to dkwinokur@charter.net with the number of people joining you, if any. You will receive an email with further instructions. Your “call time” for this important performance will be 11:45 a.m. Thanks so much!
