NSW Grandparents Day celebrates the diversity of grandparent relationships across age groups, cultural backgrounds, and geographical locations.
Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke MP encouraged all Cootamundra and Gundagai residents to celebrate their grandparents, grand-friends or kin at this over the next week for Grandparents Day.
"Grandparents Day highlights the special role of grandparents in our families and communities," Ms Cooke said.
"It's wonderful to see this council getting involved once again to celebrate our Grandparents and host some events for families over the next few days."
Residents are invited to take part in a competition now open to win great prizes. The competition asks residents what makes your Grandparent awesome? What makes you an awesome Grandparent?
Cootamundra Gundagai Regional Council wants to hear about all those awesome grandparents. There are excellent prizes to be won and submission of short stories can be made by email to mail@cgrc.nsw.gov.au, or fill in the Grandparents Day entry form at http://www.cgrc.nsw.gov.au/connect-with-us/grandparents-day2019-competition/.
