Don't forget Mother's Day

THIS SUNDAY 11 MAY 2008

MOTHER'S DAY celebrates motherhood generally and the positive contributions of mothers to society. It falls on the second Sunday of each May. It is the result of a campaign by Anna Marie Jarvis (1864-1948), who, following the death of her mother on 9 May 1905 devoted her life to establishing Mother's Day as a national, and later an international, holiday.
