Saturday June 15th is Elder Abuse Awareness Prevention Day.
I am planning another walk to continue the Domestic and Family Violence Awareness month that we have just participated in.
We will walk along The Esplanade commencing at the Zeally Bay Picnic Area at 9:30am. Hopefully we will walk for an hour then satisfy our need for coffee at one of the many coffee shops - your choice.
Elder Abuse is one form of Family Violence that does not receive much publicity. Many elderly people are subjected to Psychological, Social and/or Financial Abuse. Please help us increase awareness throughout our area.
Please wear your Say No to Domestic and Family Violence T-Shirts. They stand out and hopefully will generate more conversations. We will also have a badge to promote the Elder Abuse Prevention Day. If you don't have a SNDV T-Shirt please wear a purple top.
On Sunday we are hosting the Bunnings BBQ and to continue to increase awareness we will be wearing our purple T-Shirts (under our Aprons), and hopefully we will have some valuable conversations with our customers.
Could I ask that as many of you as possible participate in this walk?
