This annual picnic is a treasured tradition at Sunrise.
Mother's Day, celebrated since the days of Ancient Greece, is observed on the second Sunday of May. Ever since 1990 when it was first celebrated in Seattle, Birthmother's Day has been observed on the Saturday before Mother's Day.
This day is widely recognized throughout the United States and is gaining recognition in Canada.
Since 2004 the Sunrise Birthmothers' Support Group has held a picnic to celebrate Birthmother's Day.
Mark your calendars now for the Sunrise Birthmother's Day Picnic next year: May 8, 2010
