I would like to have your support in promoting a “free” Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Symposium for the faith community to help build awareness of the prevention of this disease and to help mothers have healthy infants. This symposium is not limited to faith leaders but open to anyone wanting to hear about the issue and willing to share the information within their congregations, temples and communities.
Space is limited!!! Breakfast, lunch and parking is available. If you have not registered, please do so, I am sure this will be helpful to your work in the community and your agency.
Thank you.
