Family Day 2007

While it was cold outside, the atmosphere inside was very warm and inviting! Held at the Maribyrnong Community Centre, this day was all about bringing together families affected by a genetic condition.

Kids – and big kids - were thrilled by storyteller Andy Wright’s breathtaking tales and expressive personality. Several children had the chance to assist Andy tell the stories, acting out animal parts.

We thought the giant Snakes and Ladders would be popular with the kids, and many were amused to see some of the adults involved in very friendly rivalry.

Kids of all ages had the chance to uncover their inner artist, with the gingerbread person decorating and craft activities. And of course, it was great to catch up with long-time friends, and welcome new people.

A big thank you to our volunteers, Andrew, Tammy and Monique for their help on the day. Special thanks also to the RACV Foundation, who provided an $800 grant towards the Family Day.
