members to Fathers Are
Capable Too (FACT).
In the past six months
Valenta has logged
approximately 20 hours a
week going door-to-door
letting people know about
FACT, a group that pro-
poses to change legal and
social attitudes and pro-
mote shared parenting
and formal equality
between mothers and
fathers.
Before focusing on
increasing membership,
Valenta was out in
Huron -Bruce riding pro-
moting the cause and get-
ting people to sign a peti-
tion to change the divorce
act, a federal aw which is
provincially enforced.
Although the current
laws are favourable to
women, Valenta says he
has been amazed at the
amount of women who
have signed
on as mem-
bers and
have gone
out of their
way to sup-
port the
organization.
Of the 310
new mem-
bers, Valenta
said approxi-
mately half of these have
been women.
"I am quite thankful to
all the people who have
been willing to support
this cause," Valenta said,
adding the membership
drive has boosted the
morale of people in the
organization who have
been in the divorce and
custody process for many
years and
are seeing
tangible sup-
port through
increased
membership.
He said he
has met a lot
of people
through his
door-to-door
campaign
and has found a support-
ive network of contacts.
Valenta said he is work-
ing towards
$5,000 by the
FACT will be having a
meeting and
information session in
Hansen's community
room March 10. the
meeting is open to
everyone.There is a
$2 entrance fee.
FACT member Dennis Valenta has signed up 310 new
members in Exeter and Wingham to the organization
which endorses shared parenting and equality
between mothers and fathers in the court system.
