Keeping Up with Down Syndrome NSW

From Ruth Paillas at Ashfield Council  (Ageing and Disability Services):

On behalf of members of the newly named Inner West Disability Forum, I would like to invite you to our Official Launch to be held on Thursday 13th May, 11am – 1pm and hosted by FRANS Inc. in Croydon. The Launch will promote the Inner West Disability Forum and its renewed image, focus, structure, purpose and energy in 2010.

With an emphasis on issues based discussion, worker support and collective advocacy, the Inner West Disability Forum will benefit from strong and committed membership and we encourage your organisation, or you as an interested community member, to be part of this group.

On Thursday 13th May, Julie McCrossin will be facilitating the Launch accompanied by a panel of guests with varied and vast knowledge and experience. Julie has a strong public profile and is committed to justice and diversity.

Discussion will engage with people attending, their experiences and their stories; it will provoke ideas around collective representation and advocacy; it will provide a setting for the future work and purpose of the Inner West Disability Forum.

FRANS (Family Resource and Network Support) is hosting this event with the purpose of providing an appropriate venue and as an indication of their support to the Inner West Disability Forum.

FRANS is located at 113-119 Edwin Street North in Croydon.
