22 - Sunday, March 25, 1990 - North Shore News 4a“ Mioms’, kids’ fair held DESPITE THE 100 per cent funding cuts by the fed- eral government which will force the North Shore Women’s Centre (NSWC) to close this April, the board, staff and volunteers of NSWC have made the decision to continue with the first local Mothers’ and Children’s Information Fair. The fair, which will feature displays from approx- imately 30 local service organizations, workshops for mothers’ skill development and a full children’s pro- gram, has been in the works for the past four months. Robyn Newton, NSWC board member and plan- ning committee chairperson, admits that it will be ‘‘a challenge for us to pull this off considering our cir- cumstances, and yet so much energy has gone into it that we couldn’t bear the idea of cancelling.”’ The.fair is a day-long event beginning at 9:15 a.m. on Saturday, March 3! and will be held at Queen Mary Community School on Keith Road in North Vancouver, Child care and a children’s educational and enter- tainment program will be included. Workshops will include such topics as Parent/Child Communication on Body Safety, Your Young Child and Discipline, Taking the Worry Out of Feeding Your Child, Un- tangling Family Differences, and Transforming the Images of Women. There will also be a free legal clinic hosted by Iegal information counsellor Daphne Morrison. Keynote speaker will be Lou Moreau, a counselling psychologist and founder of A Woman's Place, a recently established emotional fitness centre for women. She will address the topic: Valuing Ourselves and Our Role as Mothers. Pre-registration for the Mothers’ and Children’s Fair is necessary and space is limited.
