Editors Noticeboard Dear Reader It has been a long year but we are finally in the home stretch. It tends to get extremely busy this time of year, with end of year school/kinder/childcare activities and the festive season. This year I have decided to be super organised and have all my Christmas preparations finalised as soon as possible, so I can start to enjoy my summer break with my family earlier than usual. Wish me luck!

This month we are spoilt with the abundance of family-friendly events happening in our local community, including the Rotary Eltham Town Festival and the Watsonia Motor Show. For the full November event list, turn to our what’s on in Banyule & Nillumbik section on page 29.

Thanks to our generous and loyal advertiser, Wriggle It Indoor Playcentre & Café, we have a 5 Pass Entry Voucher to give away in our Kids Corner this month. So kids get busy colouring, to be in the running for this fabulous prize just in time for the summer school holidays! Further information and competition details can be found on page 28.

Please remember to support our wonderful advertisers and shop locally, who make it possible for this magazine to be free for families in our local community.

We hope you enjoy this issue. Until next time...

Angela Erle, Editor
