A CHANCE TO LET GRANDPARENTS AND SENIORS KNOW HOW MUCH WE TREASURE THEM

Friday, October 19 2018

Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke today thanked the community’s seniors for the important role they play ahead this year’s Grandparents Day and encouraged residents to spend the day with an older loved one.

“Grandparents Day is a day to connect across the generations and to recognise the important work seniors do in strengthening our community,” Ms Cooke said. 

“Next Sunday, October 28, is when we can celebrate some of the most cherished members of our families and let them know how much we truly love and respect them.

“It’s all too easy to take them for granted as we go about our busy daily routines, so let’s take a moment to let them know how much we all adore them.

“Residents in the Gundagai region can enjoy a Beeswax Wraps Workshop at Gundagai Library on Wednesday October 24 from 10am to noon, where you can make your own beeswax food wraps and enjoy a lovely morning tea,” Ms Cooke said.

“Grandparents are often called on to help prepare food for their grandchildren, so this workshop is a fantastic way to have some fun and learn a new skill at the same time.”

Grandparents Day is an initiative of the NSW Government’s Ageing Strategy and is held annually on the last Sunday in October.
