of families in Canberra who have those connections
connections
um and so you know this is why it's so
important that we are able to gather
together and to share knowledge and
share ideas and show our respect for
each other
the artwork in this diary is not just on
the cover but it's actually throughout
the entire diary you'll notice it makes
the really beautiful book to to keep in
your handbag or on the kitchen table at
home to keep referring back to to have
something that is so beautiful I think really
really
shows how much we value the information
that we're sharing with older people and
and that we want this to be something
that they really treasure and make great
use of throughout the year there's
there's a lot of great information here
not just about your legal rights and and
where to get help if you need it but
also things like you know when are the
school holidays when's Grandparents Day
I particularly like to draw your
attention to the month of August now
August is one of my favorite months
because a lot of people in my family
have birthdays during that month and so
it's particularly important to have a
diary or a calendar around where I can
keep track of all their birthdays are
just so many of them but really
importantly this is the kind of
information you'll find in this book is
information about family Finance in your
home and some great tips on how to have
those conversations with your family
about how you're managing these things
and um you know what what your
responsibilities are what your rights
are and what what you can do there so
this is the kind of thing that you can
find throughout this book lots of really
good useful helpful information I hope
that everyone finds this useful I know
that there's always a lot more people
who want to get a copy of this than
there are available copies so make sure
that you tell all of your friends and
family and put the word out through your
networks that it's out again this year
