Calgary PAAD Event a great success!

On Saturday April 24 and Sunday April 25, volunteers from Calgary area held the 1st Parental Alienation Awareness Day Event in that city at Crossroads Indoor Market, 1235-26 Ave SE from 9-5. As I have become to believe is normal the number of people who were spontaneously drawn to the display was sparse - but for those few, interest was intense. Unfortunately, mostly due to personal experience. For many of these supporters and new recruits it provided a much needed networking opportunity. Here are records of the event (including a enthusiastic "Panda Abuzz" teddy bear supporter. On Sunday the "bubble machine" acted like a kid magnet, immediately drawing any child within 25m to our table. Unfortunately, it created a very slippy surface right infront of our table that had to be mopped - so we could only use it sparingly.)



Also, I would like to thank my Alberta PAAO colleague - Rhonda Pisanello for acting as team-leader in Edmonton on Saturday - and then coming down to help with Calgary on Sunday. Also to volunteers Suzanne, Earl Silverman and Robert Thorne from Family of Men - my most sincere thanks.

I look forward to an even better event next year.

[I will add more photo's as they trickle in - as well as overview of the Edmonton event.]

Due to the diligent efforts of Suzanne - we now have a Calgary PAAD location. We will be holding an Information Event at the Crossroads Indoor Market (1235 - 26 Avenue SE, Calgary) next Saturday April 24 and Sunday April 25 from 9am-5pm!

See you there!

Edmonton set to go - Calgary PAAD Event is taking shape

Everyone, in addition to holding a PAAD Event on April 24 in Edmonton we now have some support in Calgary and so I am asking for volunteers to staff our table in Calgary. Details still being finalized but I will email the out ASAP. Calgary volunteers can email me their interest/availability.

In the mean time, if you can help staff the Edmonton Event at the Old Strathcona Farmers Market (103 ST + 83 Ave) from 10-2pm on sat April 24, 2010 - let us know by filling out this poll/schedule.
