2008 Alberta Election Campaign - March 3, 2008

Last Xmas (Dec 2007) I began thinking about PAAD 2008.  After visiting the PAAO website I realized that many groups across the world held events and I felt that Alberta deserved one so I registered with PAAO to be notified about any such event.  I didn't get an immediate response but after a few emails, Sarvy EMO passed on some other contacts around Edmonton.  We got in touch and once we began chatting we quickly realized that if there was going to be an Edmonton PAAD - we would have to make it happen.  And the rest is history!

We were goaded into action soon after that in early February when the Provincial General Election was called for Monday March 3, 2008.   We wanted to bring attention to PAS / HAP and related "Parenting through Divorce" issues. Then I found www.PostCardsFromSplitsville.com  by Kara BISHOP and thought these arresting images - created by children of divorce - would be an excellent way to convey our message. 

So, here are the collection of Advocacy Postcards we selected with Kara's help for printing. they have a short message about PAS with our address and room for a few of your own thoughts. You are encouraged to send them to your MLA and/or MP.  [Editor: The first 10 were printed and we still have some for sale. See below.] 
 



I still have some sets available for $10 (selection of first 10 cards), just mail me your cheque, payable to Christopher JONES, c/o Alberta PAAO #228, 10564-82 Ave NW, Edmonton AB T6E 2A7  (5% GST+ Postal Delivery is included.  Delivery upto 4 weeks).
