| Co-Creating Our Experience Un-Conference
Open to EVERYONE - all genders and
orientations welcome
Celebrate
International Women's Day (IWD) by
participating in our un-conference
where
all of the content and sessions are
created by YOU the participants.
This IWD event is a FREE one day gathering
for anyone with the desire to contribute
to the topic of Co-Creating Our Experience.
This ad hoc event gives you the
power of creating the sessions in an
open environment. It is collaborative
in nature with wide open topic areas.
You can present or facilitate a session
on any topic that you like as it relates
to our shared experience.
Possible topics may include:
• Family
• Sustainability
• Art
• Technology
• Community
• Spirituality
• Laws & Rights
or any others that you desire to share
or learn about.
We invite you to attend, share and
learn. The un-conference model is a
participant-driven event. YOU will
create it on the fly through a facilitated
process.
We will provide the space, timeframe
and a simple structure through which
the participants will offer to share
their knowledge or let it be known
that they desire to learn about a specific
topic. The sessions will coalesce around
the sharers and receivers so that a
dialogue emerges.

East
Austin Health Fair
The Anam Cara Foundation, Inc., in collaboration with the
Texas Department of Insurance will provide access to free
health screenings, immunizations, and health information.
The East Austin Health Fair will be held Saturday, July 25,
2009 from 2:00pm-6:00 pm at the Millennium Youth Entertainment
complex, 1156 Hargrave Street, Austin.
The goal of the health fair is to provide an opportunity
for under-served communities to access basic health screenings,
education, and information about available resources to improve
and support family health. Information will be gathered to
allow for better support programs to be developed and resources
allocated. Fun and entertaining activities will be available
for the whole family, as well as prizes, snacks and drinks.
In addition to The Anam Cara Foundation and the Texas Department
of Insurance, many other community organizations will be participating,
including The Community Health Initiative Unit, Mobile Health
Van Screening Program, the American Heart Association and
numerous private and public organizations, agencies and health
care providers.
In this economic time, many people are forced to forgo health
insurance and basic health care. This leads to many challenges
in the community. It is important to provide access to the
basic of health care to all our citizens and this health fair
is offering the opportunity for many underserved in our community
to access the basic services while having fun. The Millennium
Youth Entertainment center is available for games, and other
indoor activities during the hot weather as well as other
activities, such as face painting, juggling lessons and demonstrations,
balloon art and music. Complete details will be announced
as final arrangements are completed.
The Anam Cara Foundation and the Texas Department of Insurance
want to ensure as many people as possible are able to receive
access to the basic health care often unavailable and provide
access to resources. The Anam Cara Foundation works to create
supportive community environments to assist people, especially
women, to overcome limitations in their beliefs and life to
fulfill their potential in their life. This health fair is
designed to assist families reduce the stress burden and reach
their maximum potential.
Anam
Cara's Annual International Women’s Day Celebration
International Women’s Day has a long history, dating back
to the late 1800’s in the United States. However, until
1999, it was not a significant event in this country.
In 1999, the United Nations proclaimed March 8 to be a day
of celebration acknowledging contribution of women to our
way of life as a part of The Year of Women. Over 15
countries have declared March 8 to be a national holiday.
Many cities and towns across the United States have begun
creating celebrations to acknowledge the contributions of
women to their communities and way of life. In conjunction
with several other organizations, we offer a celebration each
year to recognize women in our community who have made a difference.
Anam Cara has celebrated International Women's
Day with an annual event since 2007.
