Bow Tie Week 2010

Bow tie’s really were the accessory of choice in February as the MDAs national Bow Tie Week activities attracted widely publicised attention and support. People often ask, "What is the relevance of the Bow Tie?"



We use the complexity of tying a bow tie to symbolise the difficulties our members face on a daily basis. The message is what appears to be simple is in fact difficult. Many of our members are faced with just this sort of challenge when attempting to undertake tasks which most people consider to be simple and straightforward.

Thank you to all those that supported our 2010 campaign! But we want the 2011 campaign to be even better, so if you have any ideas or feedback about Bow Tie Week email us at bowtie@mda.org.nz or call our new Marketing Manager, Deborah Baker on (09) 815 0247.
