Get together, make a difference on International Women’s Day
I am writing to invite you to this year’s International Women’s Day event which takes place next Tuesday (8 March) in Royston/Wardieburn Community Centre, Pilton Drive North. We have decided to combine this year’s event with our third Getting Together Making a Difference event.
As you will see from the leaflet there will be films, poetry, music, stories, discussion and food – all the ingredients for a nice get together with friends and neighbours! We have organised a crèche for pre-school children to allow as many women as possible to take part. Please book a crèche place in advance as the crèche is likely to be very busy (tel 552 5700 or 551 1671).
Registration is at 10am in the reception area and we will be starting at 10.15 in room F34 upstairs. Lunch will be served at 1pm.
I would be grateful if you would forward the leaflet to any local women you know who might be interested in joining us.

COMMUNITY CONFERENCE
Saturday 13 February
Craigroyston Community High School
North Edinburgh is facing tough times. Services are being cut, good jobs are hard to come by and some of our projects are struggling to survive.
But maybe it’s not all doom and gloom. Our community has some great resources, and chief among these is our people: the activists and the volunteers, young and old.
This important conference will discuss what our community needs – and work out how, together, we can get where we want to be.
We believe the people who know best are the people who live here. North Edinburgh needs YOUR ideas – come along and help us to map out a positive future for our community.
Lunch provided.
Free creche available but MUST be booked in advance.
For further information call Andy or Dave at CAN on 315 6405 or email communityactionnorth@gmail.com
