Theme: Connecting Generations through Food
Why Food?
Food connects us. It shows love, tells stories, marks milestones, creates memories, and brings people together from all walks of life. For thousands of years, food has shaped fashion, function, connection, homes, chemistry, and history.
Celebrate Ageing | Seniors Month Guides will be available in the 6 weeks before October at Libraries, Service Tasmania, Post Offices, Electoral offices and many other community organisations.
