The Australian Goddess Conference offers a unique opportunity for members with Goddess related businesses to hold a Market Stall for the duration of the three day event. We welcome presenters and members to promote their products and services to the Goddess community attending the Conference.

Suitable Conferences Stalls could be offering beautiful arts, crafts, herbs, jewellery, clothing, courses, retreats and workshops, books, music, CD’s and other businesses which honour our Earth-based traditions.

In addition there is an opportunity for other businesses to hold a stall during the Sunday afternoon Community Gathering. This event attracts many interested people who may not attend the whole Conference.

From the newsletter of Jean Shinoda Bolen :

It’s now been over a month since the Secretary General and President of the UN General Assembly said that it was high time for 5WCW and proposed that there be one in 2015. Since the March 8 Joint Statement, they have heard from those opposed to 5WCW.  Meanwhile, 5WCW advocates  have focused on getting the good news of their support to our groups in the absence of information otherwise, while some of us have been working on getting sponsorship for a resolution to the General Assembly.  While SG & PGA have heard from those who were not pleased with the statement, they have NOT heard from supporters. A Thank You campaign is now a PRIORITY.  They have gone out on a limb, and need to know that there is support for 5WCW and appreciation for their leadership.

We need to send a FLOOD of emails and letters to the SG & PGA, from individuals who will list their affiliation and positions with organizations. The next step will be to get the organizations you belong to—to officially support 5WCW.  Full text of Joint Statement: http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=5904

Your email should go to:  President of General Assembly Al-Nasser , Secretary General Ban Ki-moon
with cc: Executive Director UN Women Michelle Bachelet and me:   This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Please write your own emails or letters right away, write your networks, and get them on it! Marching orders!

Very simple letter or email.

Send thanks and appreciation to the President of the General Assembly and the Secretary General of the United Nations  for their joint statement on March 8, 2012 in which they proposed UN 5th World Conference on Women.
Praise them for taking this initiative and leadership.
Encourage them to continue to support 5WCW and assure them that there is support for what they are doing.
