Partners News No. 5 - October 2000
By Dave Percival
Get Ready for two Great Weeks for Publicity
October 23rd-29th is Parent's Week
Sponsored by the National Family and Parenting Institute, Parent's Week will offer all of us involved in the support of marriage a chance to promote the fact that marriage is the best place to bring up children.
The week will be launched by Cherie Booth QC and is on the theme "Putting Families First". The focus is on making the UK a more family friendly place and you can help by making suggestions on your one wish as to what would improve life for families by adding your wish here. There is a full resource pack available from info@nfpi.org.
This would be a great chance for us to make some noise about the central role marriage has in creating a stable environment for parents to succeed with children!
Feb 11th-18th 2001 is National Marriage Week
