To all midwives of Brisbane and surrounding regions, their clients and communities,
To honour International Day of the Midwife and Maternity Coalition's National Mothers' Day of Action, Friends of the Birth Centre Assoc Qld will once again "Air Our Laundry" in King George Square, Saturday May 1 2004. Show your support for birth reform by bringing your baby clothes to hang on the clotheslines. We hope to achieve 5000 items of baby clothing on 20 clothes lines to represent the local demand for publicly funded continuity of care with a midwife at the Royal Women's Hospital Birth Centre since 1996. This number was estimated using the birth centre waiting list and represents only a small percentage of the women who seek continuity of maternity care in Brisbane. And so few women in Brisbane even know the birth centre exists! Enabled by a grant from Gambling Community Benefit Fund, sponsorship from Hills Industries and Brisbane Concert Sound, this community awareness day promises to be bigger and better than 2003. There'll be children's rides, markets, workshops and demonstrations on the lawn, plus a fantastic stage line-up of speakers, stand-up comedy and music performance on the theme of life, love, pregnancy, birth and family. Kick off at 10am. If you seek more information, or wish to get involved on the day please contact: Jodie Miller President Friends of the Birth Centre Assoc (Qld) Inc ABN 41 073 474 245 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (07) 3300 0135 -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
