is with sadness that I share the passing of our former CalFAS Director -
Carol Echternach. She went peacefully in her sleep on July 7, 2006.

The
California Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Organization, a non-profit
organization invites you to learn more about FASD,
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome; our Mission
and ourselves.
We
provide a variety of Services to assist
individuals with FASD, their families and their communities.
Speakers Bureau:

FASD
Presentations, and the Arc/CDC Parent Curriculum; also Consultation;

 CalFAS
is proud to be an affiliate of the National Organization on Fetal
Alcohol Syndrome,
NOFAS, and to represent the state of
California within that organization.
We
hope you'll want to get involved and help us eliminate the most common
and completely preventable birth defect in the United States. Visit the FASDAY
link to find some quick and easy ways to make a difference. We're hoping
you will join us at the California State Capitol as
we ring in the Annual International Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Awareness
Day, each September 9th, 9:09 a.m..
Still
not convinced that FASD deserves your attention? Visit the FASD
Facts page and learn why everyone needs to spread the word about the
"invisible disability."
Visit
us regularly and you'll often find new resources for support and
services.
When it comes to alcohol and pregnancy:
There is no safe time,
No safe amount,
No safe kind.
If you are pregnant, don't drink.
If you drink, don't get pregnant.
