Hi Avb

Happy New Year!!

This sounds really good – almost wish I was in Sydney to go!

I walked in one of the Melbourne parades a few years ago and the support from the crowd was truly overwhelming and so healing. I’d recommend that for anyone who wants to do it.

Blessings,

Ann Maree

You know I’d forgotten about it to be honest but I would like to go. Couldn’t go last year due to work commitments. I’m on call at a second job so may be called to that but otherwise I will go and participate.

are you on the Melbourne F2B mailing list?

If not send an email to melbf2b@gmail.com requesting to be on the list then you’ll know about all our events in Melbourne….and my visits…..you wouldn’t want to miss that now would you.

Cant wait for the parade this year. Big things are happening and we have some good ideas to bring messages of hope to the people who are struggling to reconcile their sexuality.

I am so excited to march this year again in the Sydney mardi gras. I marched for the first time last year and it was an amazing experience full of hope, joy and resolution.

I am an ex-gay survivor and I am marching with freedom 2 b[e] to celebrate that I am unconditionally loved, happy, whole, loving God and loving life. I am a strong gay Christian man with much to offer to this world and to my church.

So looking forward to it!!

Hi avb

Well done to you, Ben and all the others who put that together. It really did remind me of the joy and love I felt at the Melbourne event. Very powerful! Thank you so much. Seeing that has lifted my spirits and I trust it will have the same effect for others too.

Blessings,

Ann Maree

well if the early 20 or so registrations are any indicator……we have never had so many people book in so early before. Cut off date is Friday 12 Feb

Please note: In order to meet the requirements of the Mardi Gras organisation so the logistics of the 8,000 strong parade can be finalised……and in order for Freedom 2 b[e] to organise t-shirts and other articles for every participant, all registrations must be in by Friday 12 February 2010. DON’T PUT IT OFF OR YOU’LL MISS OUT. Thanks for your help.
